TRU has Treasure Hunters

Don't worry Elaine,

The Glasgow TRU doesn't have any of the above sets anyway so you're not missing out....I go there fairly regularly though so will keep you updated if that changes. Let me know if there is anything specific you want me to look out for.

Many thanks for that Claire, I'd like that.
Luckily there are two toy shops in Dumfries with a good range of Playmobil but not often things on offer.

Hi

This seems to be a trend for tru (now it looks like a typo  ). Last year they had certain themes out early as well. I guess tru's buying powers are able to overcome Geobras new release districts.  If tru is able to buy and distribute much more Playmobil we could see this hurdle overcome. Tru & Target are also able to either request or they are just distributing exclusives from time to time.

I think it might be a cheap way for the Geobra B. to issue more "exclusives"... they give TRU, etc these sets early and as nobody esle has them (yet) they are exclusive until the regular release date.

Our local TRU has restocked the Egyptian theme, I bought a few and tolld them how glad I was to see them.  It wouldn't hurt if EVERYTIME you buy Playmobil at whatever store to tell them you are glad they carry Playmobil.

I also bought a couple of the Safari sets with the Africa wildlife animals.  I plan to get more and keep the scenary and animals and sell off the modern stuff.

Went to TRU yesterday and picked up a couple of the Dragon attack tower sets and the nativity set. Playmobil shelf space had doubled in size since the last time I was there. They even had advent calendars there. First time I had seen them on the shelves.
