Playmobil UK 80's catalogues.
« on: November 26, 2010, 21:00:40 »
Hi all,

 My efforts to create an archive of sets available to the UK market got  a big boost the other week when I won 4 more 80's catalogues of ebay.

 I appear to be only missing 3 catalogues now for the years 83, 87 and 88/89.

 In the collector guide 3rd edition it shows a 1983 catalogue with a fire engine on the front on page 623. I now believe that this is actually the 1982 catalogue due to information I received from another fan back in 2002 who was given some old catalogues from the late Norman Brown. In the Email the catalogues mentioned are, Space themed cover (81), a fire engine (82) and park (87) and a catalogue with the year 83 on it.

I have never seen a catalogue for 83 or 88/89 yet so if anyone has them or any other catalogue not shown in this post if you can please post an image of them here.

1st image copy of paragraph from email, 2nd image 1981 cat, 3rd image 1981 cat version 2 taken from ebay, 4th image 1982 cat.

Heres the last 2.

 As soon as I find the missing ones I will be able to work out an accurate time line for the sets.

Also if anyone has any DS catalogues fro 1990 to 1997 i would like to know about them as well.

That's a great collection of catalogues!!! I have often wished I had kept the catalogues from sets I had as a little girl.

Are the missing ones you are needing the large, medium, or small size types?

The first 2 are A4 sized 81 and 82 and all the others are A5.

So I'm not sure if 1983 is A4 or A5 because this seems to be the year that they changed size.

These are not the small mini leaflets these are the full catalogues that you would get from Playmobil stockists.
