Playmobil 3223 was an exclusive set released only in the United States in 1986/7. It was the first set, not including the 123 series, that I bought for my daughter. I have been searching for months for three pieces that were missing/damaged: the blue stroller, the purple child's bow-tie, and the umbrella pole. Recently I won an auction on ebay that had the blue stroller. :clap: Well, my package arrived yesterday and I quickly opened it to claim my blue stroller. I put it with the rest of the set and went about the day's toils. While I was taking a break from doing laundry I started to rummage through the rest of the contents in the box. Not expecting to find anything of import I can tell you I was dumbstruck when I out of nowhere, there was the yellow umbrella pole! :yippee: Now I am thinking to myself, "all I need is that purple bow-tie" so I rummaged some more but found no bow-tie. :'( A while later I was getting the set ready for a photo shoot (because I had decided to colour a pink bow purple) and remembered my green wagon was damaged so went to the box for the wagon. I think you know where this is going by now.... sure enough, when I picked up the wagon, something must have moved just right because what to my wondering eyes should appear - the purple bow-tie. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: For those of you who have been following my saga and for all of my Playmofriends I proudly present to you PLAYMOBIL 3223 :cheerlead:

That is great news! Congratulations! :cham: :woohoo:
I remember that excitement you get when you come across something in a bundle of pieces which you're not expecting to find. Must be a doubly satisfying feeling when you have had your hopes dashed only moments beforehand. :yup:
I have an incomplete 3223 Playground set too. Guess what is missing. ;D
Yep, among several other larger parts, that elusive purple bow tie is on the list. I'm sure I'll find it one day too. :)

Congratulations Annie! :wow: :wow:
Things are looking up, like Sylvia said, nothing like the feeling of completing a set you have been working on for a while, especially an older one like that. Good job! :wave:
