Title: New Set 1984 - Apple Store
Post by: Emma.J on September 03, 2011, 10:10:33
 :wave: Hi I don't know know if you've seen this before but I just came across this and had to share it with you all. Here is the latest American exclusive from Playmobil. The Apple Store 1984. A very neat shop obviously based on the school I wonder if many people would like one to add to their modern city?

Priced at $179 with additional add on packs - would you buy it at this price?

 :lol: Yes I know I just didn't want to spoil the surprise - I thought some one had done a great job of it and as I didn't remember seeing it here I'd thought I'd share the joke with you all.  ;D

See I just missed it. I don't spend enough time on here ! My mistake folks.

It had me fooled when I first saw it. It was an excellent joke and clearly a lot of work went into it.   Thanks for posting it again.

WOw, joke or not! I bet they could sell a lot of these for 100USD if they did make them! But Apple probably would not allow that unless they sold it exclusively in their Apple Stores! Cheers, Pgal :wave:

Not knowing this had been a joke, I immediately thought 'the world has gone mad!". A clever little set up.  :lol:

If playmobil were ever to do any licensing, I hope it would be something cool and grown-up like this, not some disney movie or something.
