Post by: Lindama on October 25, 2011, 23:04:45: No, it is not a Canadian exclusive as it was at our TRU and a major department store. I need to admit that it was down to $50 at one time and I didnt get it :-[
Title: Re: Has anybody seen this set before?
Post by: bonniebeth on October 25, 2011, 23:05:21: Yes, I would LOVE to get it, too! A dolphin, an orca, and a whale!

Post by: Tiermann on October 25, 2011, 23:18:00: I don't think I've seen that before, it looks like a great set.

Post by: Rasputin on October 25, 2011, 23:35:14: I never saw it either, it looks like every piece in that set is useful.

Post by: PlaymoMan on October 25, 2011, 23:41:26: Yes, I think It's amazing! ( As I stated in my earlier post. )
One thing I noticed is that the parts in this set all had a place in earlier sets made by PM.

Whale Watching Boat came from: http://www.playmobil.ca/on/demandware.store/Sites-CA-Site/en_CA/Product-Show?pid=4823&cgid=Rettung (http://www.playmobil.ca/on/demandware.store/Sites-CA-Site/en_CA/Product-Show?pid=4823&cgid=Rettung)
Plane came from: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-playmobil-police-seaplane/17826891 (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/toys-games-playmobil-police-seaplane/17826891)
The list goes on and on...

Post by: Rasputin on October 25, 2011, 23:46:46: I never saw that small boat in yellow ? I think that is the only unique part or are the Klickies unique also?

Oh, of course :-[. I guess it was discontinued in the U.S before it was in Canada.

Post by: conniefrere on October 26, 2011, 05:41:17: I do not really colect the modern age theme's (yet). But this one looks great and with 3 different whales.
Never saw this set before in the Netherlands.

Post by: Wolf Knight on October 26, 2011, 07:33:03: Yeap, a really lovely set!
Title: Re: Has anybody seen this set before?
Post by: surfergirl on October 26, 2011, 08:31:28: I have it and it is indeed a great set...all parts available in other sets except the boat in yellow which can only be found in this set...although it is the same design as the customs boat and fire boat.

I bought it from Uk eBay a year ago or so but it was on the shelf of the Zirndorf Funpark when I was there in late August.

Post by: flatcat on October 26, 2011, 08:36:05: It's available here in the UK in ToysRUs, for around £49.99

It's a real nice set, and I am tempted to buy it, as the logos match the underwater theme's boats etc ;D

Damo :)

Is the decal only on the little flag or is it elsewhere on the boat?

Thanks for the pictures of the yellow boat. I think it looks really good in that yellow with gray. I just wish the small roof and the front cross bar were also gray.

Post by: bonniebeth on October 26, 2011, 20:00:33: Panos... how? Is there anything you don't have? :lol: Where did you get it? No one else can seem to even figure out what countries it is sold in! :P

;D Yes, there are a few things I dont have... :lol:
I think I explained this before, but Playmobil Hellas, at the end of each marketing season, asks for any exclusives that are left over in other countries or the main warehouses, so these arrive in the funpark and, from time to time, at various toyshops. ;) I got it from one of my local toy stores last June, when I told you I... bought the whale for that modern war photostory (which I need to get done too ) ;), well there was more to the set where the whale came from :lol:. So I guess many exclusive sets are not that exclusive :lol:
Title: Re: Has anybody seen this set before?
Post by: bonniebeth on October 26, 2011, 20:29:23: Yeah, we do need to do that story... I think I still have our plans for it. It was going to be really funny! Off topic, sorry. :-[
