..never this one for sale before .. ever !!!! :o :o :o :o
The rarest of playmo sets...? I wonder how much it will fetch !!!! 8}
-
It will be curious to see the final value, if not pulled....
-
I wouldnt say its playmobil. Just looks like some other toy that somehow comes with clickies.

There are a lot of references of this ultra rare set amongst the playmobil community. it has a playmobil part number and from what i know is probably the most rare set .... My guess is that it will go for around 2k-2.5k euros !!!! 8-)

;) i think rhalius was kidding giorginetto...
-
Its playmobil yes, just saying that it does not look like it. the rollercoaster itself looks like fisher price or such.
-
I have seen this for sale one more time. If I remember well, it closed at 1500 euro!
-
I don't understand the hype of this set. It looks really cheap..in my opinion. ???
-
IKEAMA had it in his display at Speyer, it's a nice looking set in person. Not as exciting as the ferris wheel but would be fun and great for completists.
-
It would be nice. With everyone wanting a modern roller coaster I wonder how easy it would be for PLAYMOBIL to accomplish. Most would find it boring if there wasn't a loop in it, but you'd almost have to have it with an RC motor to do this... I'm not sure I'd want to pay the price for a new roller coaster (though it would be cool to have one).
As for this set- I think it's neat too.
-
Looks just like the circus theme from the 80's.
It's not about the look, use or quality that has people interested in it.
The Japanese company who made this had to have a set of molds. Once the company was shuttered did Germany get the molds back?
I would pay the price of a big house for a modern roller coaster. Just so I'm clear, a playmobil house ;)
The price could go anywhere. There was a rumor that one sold 10 years ago for 10k, it was brand new
-
I think it looks gorgeous, and I'd love to have one, but not at a very high price.
A new roller coaster set would greatly appeal to kids, and it would suit the new fair theme, but I suppose the design would be 'modern' too, and that would kill it for me.
-
The Japanese company who made this had to have a set of molds.
I wonder about that. Isn't it possible the parts were manufactured in Germany and marketed in Japan (perhaps packaged there too)?
I posed a similar question a while ago about Playpeople (UK company marketing PM in the 1980s). As far as I could see, the only unique mold used to manufacture Playpeople was one used for the policeman's helmet. Does anyone know about the manufacture of Lyra, Famobil, Schaefer and the like? Did the companies have molds and non-German manufacturing sites, or did they just package and market parts made in Germany?
Quite a lot of unique parts in this set, so maybe they had a batch of molds? They reminded me of the circus parts too!
-
Famobil parts are sometimes marked as such, so the molds were different..
-
it's no way 8}...and this set is not really nice, and the box is ugly...
with 1000€ or more you can buy several old set..

This auction and this set ladies and gentlemen we are witnessing live a piece of playmobil history ;D
-
:o :o :o :o

My friend Eddy told me than he sold that set to the seller.
And Eddy told me it was not new, and there are no parts into bags. So the seller put them and sealed the bags.
You can see one sticker is used into a bag!
btw now there are fake bidders .... some of them are usually in good playmobil sets in ebay. They bid and bid and if they are going to win they cancel the big, into the limit time. That's stupid but they enjoy with that.....
The last roller went for 1500$ and I think it is the one is now for sale.
-
That's what I was thinking, if the bids go crazy high, the buyer will back out. The routine was to watch it get relisted over and over again similar to other super rare sets.
If the bags were resealed and listed as new then the seller is fraudulent. Do they think a collector who pays 3k isn't going to notice or care?
If there are so many collectors interested in spending 1k or 2k it wouldn't take too many to cooperate and pool the funds together and buy molds from the Chinese. I hardly doubt there are any copyrights still in effect on this set.

:-\ He faked the bags? That's plain illegal.
edit: right, hadn't seen Rasputin's response yet. What he said ;)
-
I am quite sure that if the point was to make a "bootleg" rollercoaster, a bunch of people could do better than that... Some of them are probably around here too.. ;)
Like others said, though it IS an interesting ITEM, as a "real set", it is... lacking. A lot. IMO.
(the bag with the sticker.. stuck.. doesn't seem sealed to me..)
-
.. And now I want to see customisers make their own rollercoaster, has anyone ever done that? ???

Someone could make an Indiana jones, if that was the movie, by using the mining tracks and cart. Just heat bend them up and down, there is a turn at least in one direction.
-
i ask him why he try to sell a used box like new.
he did not reply me.
i do not undestand. the stickers are used, and a collector will pay the same with or whithout the bag.
a real collector wait and bid in last minute and do not bid and bid 4 days before.
i wont bid, with 2k I can get some rare and beautiful sets
-
Yeah even IF I had that much money to spend on playmobil, ( like some special playmobil currency that cant be used on anything else :P )
then I could probably get all the 90's medieval sets I still dont have which is about half of them, as well as the 90's fantasy sets I'd want.
-
I looked into reporting the seller of this item, but decided not to in the end (there was no option to enter my reasons for reporting, such as 'PM sets when new do not (generally) have stickers already affixed', just a few drop-down menu options). Why is the item listed as new? I don't believe it!
-
Its playmobil yes, just saying that it does not look like it. the rollercoaster itself looks like fisher price or such.
As far as I have allways heard/read, the rollercoaster itself is indeed not a Playmobil-design/product, but is from a local Japanese toymanufacturer. They decided to collaborate with Geobra to market the thing, and so klickies were added and it was marketed & sold in a "Playmobil"-box.
Looking at pictures of the piece it indeed doesn´t correspond much imho with what Playmobil´s 1980s toys look like from a design & quality standpoint. Sure, it has some stickers/colours resembling the blue circus from that era, but that´s about it.
-
And that is why geobra needs a new one. A proper playmobil system one. Expandable not out of the box modular built by whinny parents in less than 5 minutes. In thee spirit of stecks, system x and interchangeable klickies
-
It would probably be system WHY, and pink, of course...
-
Well rollercoasters might not be seen as a girly thing so probably not pink. Just really bright colors probably and with no way to make it bigger even if you buy multible.
-
:hmm: idiot fake bidders on there... don't understand why ebay doesn't close those accounts.
well, it's def not new ;-) I wouldn't pay that mouch for it, even when it was MISB.
Anyway, not entirely true: i'm also a collector and always looking for nice things on ebay, sometimes i do start of with my max bid and wait how it goes.
I never use the same methods when bidding. sometimes i wait until last moment, sometimes i start right away ;-)

i try to search a similar toy from the manufacturer, and in fact Calico critters was introduced in 1985 by epoch, and even when the scale is similar theres no roller coaster.
-
If Playmobil is going to release a roller coaster, now is the time with the amusement park theme.
-
It sold... for 2,250 Euro (82 bids, 10 bidders: there were 90 bids at one stage, so one bidder at least must have withdrawn).

It would absolutely be the right time... But I doubt they would be that ambitious. Though I know many of us would purchase it
-
I would love to get a new version of a roller coaster but i wouldnt even pay half that winning bid for the original one. when i think how much steck i could buy with all this ...... :toot:
