I got this set in perfect conditions. Im not sure how rare it is but I was surprised by a couple of things.
1) At first sight it looks 100% Playmobil though it has no set number, I was looking for the word "HERPA" in the box, and it's not there. So it was a little confusing. The only Mention of Herpa in the set is under the car, as shown in the picture.
2) The clickies surprised me too!. I have the yellow Mercedes Benz from Herpa and that one came with an articulated doll, not Playmobil, besides it says Herpa all over the box.
3) It's curious that they made only one box, being the red car the one illustrating it. When I got it, knowing I bought the blue car, it was a little frightening to see the red one all over it.
4) It looks PERFECT. I wish the Playmobil-Herpa was still alive!! :love:
When was this made? what year I mean. anyone knows?
:love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I love them too - I think there were.. 4 versions? I think I posted the pics somewhere. With two different playmocouples.. Those are gorgeous cars. :love:
I bought a white mercedes more recently that came with a weird santa.
-
Great car Gaston. I've always wanted one of those BMW/Herpa cars. I really like the klickies too. The guy kinda looks like your avatar. ;D
-
Wow simply gorgeous son realistic and streamlined and that box as well a great buy for sure :)
-
What a gorgeous set, you're lucky to have gotten one! :)
-
I didn't even know these existed! It's lovely! :D
-
I was told this was a promotoional from Volkswagen Germany, a sort of give away when you bought the real car or requested a test-
anybody knows if that's true?
Thanks for the comments ;D

It's a great car. I have the blue version. I think they were available for purchase from the dealerships at one time. I've had mine for years now.

Well, the car is a BMW not a VW (VolksWagen). It also says on the box printing. I dont know about the give-away but it seems reasonable (although maybe also to prospective buyers or other customers).
(Don't tell a MISB collector that the box is "in perfect condition" since they wouldn't agree)
A nice set, anyway! :)

That awkward moment, when you realise your clickies drive a nicer car than you. ;)
Great looking set, a real gem. :)
-
I'm quite sure they were available for purchase in Germany..

ouch! now I want them all!
-
Hmm it's a yellow one , oh i was close :lol:
-
the white one was the coolest
-
there was one in white too?? :hmm:
-
At the time, I THINK there were only those four - but I'm not sure...
Was there a white BMW too, mike1003? Just asking - RESTRAINT!
I know there's a white Mercedes (with the creepy non-playmo santa)....
-
I have a yellow one, but would prefer a red. My friends laugh when they see it in the china cabinet next to my grandmother's antique silver tea set. Even though it is not "real" playmobil, the quality is great and my klickies like driving it, especially along the Pacific coast, hwy 1.

As far as i know there were four of them , i remember seeing them at the BMW dealer when i was in the UK but at that time i was selling both of my BMWs and leavign the UK for good so it was one of the rather few occasions i excersiced some restrained. since then i changed my car brand so i never got round buying any of these babies
It looks A W E S O M E !!! :love: :love: :love: :love:
great buy and absolulely lovely. i hope you buy them all and show us some pictures of them
I am still waiting for Playmobil to make some german iconic sports cars with playmos . i actually wrote playmobil some time ago a very long letter with some ridiculus arguments ( i really want one and i promise i will buy a dozen of them etc ) argying about it which wasnt one of me finest moments i confess
great buy sir !!! hopr you get them all !!!! :love:
PS : didnt know the SLK merc also comes with playmos (!!! :-[ :-[ :-[)

Oh, and it's YELLOW :love:

Seems the klicky does not come originally with the car though.. or does she?
