IKEAMA had it in his display at Speyer, it's a nice looking set in person. Not as exciting as the ferris wheel but would be fun and great for completists.

It would be nice. With everyone wanting a modern roller coaster I wonder how easy it would be for PLAYMOBIL to accomplish. Most would find it boring if there wasn't a loop in it, but you'd almost have to have it with an RC motor to do this... I'm not sure I'd want to pay the price for a new roller coaster (though it would be cool to have one).

As for this set- I think it's neat too.

Looks just like the circus theme from the 80's.

It's not about the look, use or quality that has people interested in it.

The Japanese company who made this had to have a set of molds. Once the company was shuttered did Germany get the molds back?

I would pay the price of a big house for a modern roller coaster. Just so I'm clear, a playmobil house  ;)

The price could go anywhere. There was a rumor that one sold 10 years ago for 10k, it was brand new

I think it looks gorgeous, and I'd love to have one, but not at a very high price.

A new roller coaster set would greatly appeal to kids, and it would suit the new fair theme, but I suppose the design would be 'modern' too, and that would kill it for me.

I wonder about that. Isn't it possible the parts were manufactured in Germany and marketed in Japan (perhaps packaged there too)?

I posed a similar question a while ago about Playpeople (UK company marketing PM in the 1980s). As far as I could see, the only unique mold used to manufacture Playpeople was one used for the policeman's helmet. Does anyone know about the manufacture of Lyra, Famobil, Schaefer and the like? Did the companies have molds and non-German manufacturing sites, or did they just package and market parts made in Germany?

Quite a lot of unique parts in this set, so maybe they had a batch of molds? They reminded me of the circus parts too!

Famobil parts are sometimes marked as such, so the molds were different..

My friend Eddy told me than he sold that set to the seller.
And Eddy told me it was not new, and there are no parts into bags. So the seller put them and sealed the bags.
You can see one sticker is used into a bag!

btw now there are fake bidders .... some of them are usually in good playmobil sets in ebay. They bid and bid and if they are going to win they cancel the big, into the limit time. That's stupid but they enjoy with that.....

The last roller went for 1500$ and I think it is the one is now for sale.
