i really wish that Playmobil would release these sets worldwide...it would save me a fortune on shipping each year!

Hope you all had a wonderful Xmas,

The second set looks very exiting indeed  :D

Is the SUV the same but slightly tweaked one from fire set 4482 and vet set 4345  ???

Hi FlatCar  :wave:

   Yes that is the same one. They made a roll-bar and what looks like a finish piece to go around the back. I do see there is not a grill sticker that comes with this one. Luckily the vet one is separate from the first aid decals and can be ordered individually. The one for the Rescue truck comes with computer decals .

I have to agree  :lol:

...but do not forget the collectors reality  ;)

The madness from trying to store all the Playmobil.... Priceless

Hello Claire,

Please remember that we can always buy these items and ship them to you if the eBay prices get too out of line or they become too scarce.  :wave:

Hi Claire  :wave:

   Yes and on KlickyWelt they were figuring ways to get out of Duties, tariffs and VAT's or what every import taxes are called ? I do not know if you have any but some items can be considered or declared as "Gifts" to avoid them  ;)
