Thanks for the tip! I like this website, because sometimes they still have things after they are discontinued.

Thank you.  I finally ordered the houses.  Two of the red, two of the yellow and two of the blue.  It should make a fantastic set up for my daughters - a medieval town to go with their princess castle.  I put off buying them previously because at the regular price through Playmobil.ca, I thought they were overpriced.  I also ordered the Church.  I had not gotten that yet either.  Locally it sells out as soon as they get it in stock and they have had trouble getting them from Playmobil they are so popular (yet they are discontinuing?!).  So, for the money I saved on the Church itself should cover all the shipping to Canada.

Thanks for the information.  There were a few sets that I've been somewhat wanting but have waited on, so this sale put me over the edge. <*)

Then I'm going to have to take another look at what they have - that's sad they won't get any more in - I was hoping for another sale like this maybe for next Christmas. 

I noticed they were selling off all their Lego as well.  Maybe they are focusing only on trains?  Or maybe they are going out of business all together and are just getting rid of all their stock this way ...

I just order from playmobil most of the time. You can also order from TRU online.

Thanks for the heads up, Aaron & Jenna!  I got my order in.   I am so sad to hear that they will no longer be carrying Playmobil.  :'(  They will be sorely missed!

Maybe not!

Maybe if they realise how well things have been selling and how much people appreciate them and the fact they sell Playmobil (and the free shipping in the USA for 40!) they might reconsider.

It would take a groundswell of support for them and a follow-through after.

Something tells me stocking all those DS sets would be quite the overhead and in these economic times ...

So, maybe if they just had the regular sets as opposed to DS as well, then they might continue.

Hi

Part of what I liked about the site was that they did stock all those sets creating a great inventory of old sets and ones that were listed at a discount. I found one site that still has new steck add ons. I do not know where they are located but if you tried to stock a regular high traffic store than I see your point but if they have a cheep warehouse that the internet traffic is run through than that could keep overhead lower.

I do hope they are just reorganizing as I have been relying on this place for years.

It is hard to imagine they sell more over-priced G scale train set buildings than Playmobil - but I may be completely out to lunch on that.

Aww, I missed out on the Timbered Houses  :'(

I even emailed them just to see what they'd about restocking the houses and I got a short reply saying that they will not be reordering anymore Playmobil!

It's a shame they are not ordering anymore playmobil. I did manage to get a blue timbered house though.

This is very sad news.  The bulk of my collection has come from Ridge Road Station over the last few years. :'(
