Future Releases in Canada

[Husker]

Hi guys!

I have a question about North American releases. As a general rule, I understand that sets that are released in Europe come to North America about a year later. Is that correct? The reason I ask is that there are a few sets that I'm very interested in that have been on the European site for awhile (over a year), but are still not available here. Does Playmobil sometimes release new stuff deeper into any given year? For example, a couple of the sets I'm talking about are:

6120 - Large Farm (we even have some extension fence for this available on the Canadian site, but still no farm)
6121 - Veggie Stand

Thank you for your help!

The short answer is yes.
The themes released are spread throughout the year, generally a big theme per season. My guess is Farm will be out in late spring to early summer - so April to June some time. The large farm set is available as the monthly special on the US website but it and the rest of the theme are not showing up yet on the main site. Usually they put all of the year's releases on the site anyway with ''not available'' notices and the month of release on them. That hasn't happened yet this year, which is annoying having no confirmation what will be coming the rest of the year or not.

Yeah, that's what I was noticing...there are some that say "Available in June, March, etc", but others are missing...yes, annoying!
Actually, even with the dollar exchange, that special on the US site is pretty decent! I'm thinking that once it hits Canada, it would be a higher price than that. Thanks for pointing that out!
