Title: US knight info booklet
Post by: Rasputin on December 05, 2011, 22:15:04: We were at the toy shop celebrating a successful yard sale and we found an interesting pamphlet. It might not seem great news to European collectors but in the US this is actually rare. It was a little booklet that was called "About the Knights" It had info about the knights, castles, weapons, battles, and why's.

Seems like a neat idea Geobra could do with every theme?

Post by: Ace on December 05, 2011, 22:33:32: That sounds interesting :picsplz:! I think in Germany they have something similar called Adventure Books. They've done them for Dragonland (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=80438&cgid=LZ_Buecher) and Top Agents (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=80439&cgid=LZ_Buecher) :).

You see you collectors in Europe get all kinds of neat extras. We in the US barely get any books, stickers, custom big Klickies, clothes, party favors, the list goes on and on :hissyfit:

This stupid well made book is what we get :wall:

Post by: bonniebeth on December 05, 2011, 22:55:56: I know, it drives me nuts we don't get T-shirts, umbrellas, lunch boxes. :'( Don't they realize kids in the US who love playmobil would love to get their hands on these, and when other kids saw them, it would be advertising?

Post by: tonguello on December 05, 2011, 23:34:27: I got that from some xmas sets purchases at playmobilusa from a month ago.
I didn't think it was somehting rare.

bb it was with the stuff you sent me... inside the carrying case. :eh?:

Post by: Coyote on December 06, 2011, 00:37:00: Yeah, I got this in my the box of Xmas presents PlaymoUSA sent me last week- Super cool! I love all the stuff they pack into their boxes- various theme catalogs, game cds...

Post by: bonniebeth on December 06, 2011, 01:04:51: I know, they have all kinds of goodies in the boxes these days! I believe the egyptian one I got came in a box like that, too.

Gaston, I probably put it in the carrying case to keep it from getting bent. I don't really remember.

And... the tshirts are stupid sizes... AFAIK, there are no adult sizes.

Post by: Rhalius on December 06, 2011, 09:03:33: Nice to see a book like that, it would be great if they would start putting either a little book or information on the side of each box for most sets.

That would mean they would need to make historically accurate siege equipment again though.

Post by: Rasputin on December 06, 2011, 16:04:59: Oh I have 2 boxes from playmobil that were delivered last night and now they are sitting in my office waiting for me, I do hope they have all kinds of booklets like the super sale ones and all

Yes sitting right here next to another members pile. I will put one in your box. I just do not remember if you wanted the other stuff in that set? I think you just wanted the chicken-dragon

Post by: tahra on December 16, 2011, 21:52:05: Well, not the humongous rock - it's huge... But the rest is nice ;) (my sister loves the wings for the klickys). Can you please send me the rest, without the box?

(oh, and keep the crystal thing and wavy sword too, that go with the rock - I'm sure you can find some use for them :) )

I will paypal you once you have the total with shipping, ok? (please email me ;) )
