Hello,

Playmobil's head office in Canada moved from Toronto to Missauga as such they emptied out their warehouses, as such they have sent a lot of their older stock found to various shops in Canada.
My local Toyshop (www.playvaluetoys.com) has received a lot of interesting older sets.  The prices are lowered too, I have been checking the store each day (both in person and online) and they seem to be getting quite a few great items in.  I don't know their shipping costs but it's a great store and I figured if people were looking for slightly older harder to find items it might be here and at a good price.

I have used Playvalue Toys on a number of occasions. Foe Christmas I picked up a new 3286 Pirate Flagship and last week I got 5778 Pirate Skull Ship at a reasonable price.  Shipping to Montreal (150 km away) is 14$ CDN which is very reasonable as well.

Thanks for the link.  I've inquired if they will supply to the UK.

Good to hear.  The store's family run and is really nice so I'm happy.  I wasn't 100% sure if I could post a message like this. So I feel more at ease now. :)

I found this in the shipping section:

International Orders:

Due to the high cost of international shipping, we are unable to ship to countries other than Canada and the United States.


Anyway, saw a lot of nice sets for reasonable prices. I would be tempted to put in an order, if they would ship to Holland.

Thanks for the tip, anyway!
