Title: Got these in the mail...
Post by: PlaymoMan on October 25, 2011, 22:53:51

Thank you, Playmobil!
Today, I had a lovely surprise in the mailbox! Nothing incredibly exciting, just some parts that I had been missing...
Here's some pics!

The bags...

One of my missing parts that I had requested from Playmobil was the "Service 24h" Gas Station stickers. I had to replace the earlier stickers because they were peeling off. It turns out they they're a real pain to peel off, so I had to let them soak in hot water for about 45 minutes...they're still soaking now! ::)

Oh, and the best part, THE PARTS WERE FREE! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Oh those new cheep stickers are terrible. Did Geobra not do quality tests on them or something. Most of the ones we have are all falling apart, not just pealing away but actually disintegrating after a few years. I am very upset about the modern stickers  >:(

Is that stickers for all the sets?  Egyptian and Roman ones too?

I ony had trouble when removing the stickers from their sheet, the paper sometimes comes off with the sticker, so you need carefully to take the sticker off... but I never had trouble with a sticker peeling off...

The ones on 3121 - Recycling Truck (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3121) and 7655 - Construction Vehicle (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=7655) I have had real trouble with. They just turn to dust. I thought it was too warm in the room or something, until I heard that there was a common problem.

Luckily Gordon helped me out with the 7655 stcickers, but I haven't bothered about the 3121

You were lucky to get some free stickers, Playmoman! :wave:

Damo :)
