Just got back from a wonderful holiday to Greece made even better by the discovery of a family run toy shop...and happily marched through customs with a backpack containing this little lot.. .
I could have got quite a few more older sets (
6631 - Grandparents,
6901 - Freight Train Set,
3080 - Starship 3 ) but I showed restraint!
Having said that I'm not sure why I got 3 of the walkers and clowns but hey never hurts to have 2 spares right.
Also, whilst I like the first smile sets I would need to keep them for
at least 10 years before I would have any use for them...but they are soooo cute!
However, I noticed a difference in the clowns and thought there were two versions but my v3 collector says only 1?
The Playmobil lettering is rounder on the one on the right which corresponds with the fact it has a later date on the top.
The bottom of the box has a sticker on the earlier one:
But the biggest difference is the side of the box ( the earlier version has the pictures):
I need some advice as which is rarer and if I have just missed the existence of 2 different versions.
Furthermore the walker has some differences also but not as major as the clown...
I guess these minor differences (one is also a darker shade of blue than the other) were not noticeable to warrant a new version?
Thanks,
