I see now RRS is now doing the same deceptive tricks other annoying stores do.

The expansion for the hospital is listed on their site as $56.70 when it is really $49.99. RRS used to have better than Playmobil prices and were told to stop. They raised their prices to the SRP (suggested retail price) and never over that. Now all of a sudden they are marked up a convenient 15%  Then they mark it down 65%. This is not true as it is really only 50% off. Tuesday Morning, TJMaxx, Marshals all do this type of lying.

Edit I had the #'s wrong. if it was originally $56.70 @ 65% off = $19.85
                                                            $49.99 @ 65% off = $17.50

A lot of stores do this. JC Penney has many items that have been listed at the same price literally for years, always being supposedly 15% with a previous price that never existed. it is annoying and deceptive.

Well great I just could not pass up the chance on getting the Hospital extension for $17 so I bought 3 of them  :doh: Now I need to find the hospital  :-[

Normal price is $50 so it actually was 65% off

RRS sale sure went fast.

 :lol: We bought two hospital extensions and may buy two more if we get them before we're gone, and we don't have a hospital either! All the extra system x parts are useful and you won't find them any cheaper than that! I do want a hospital eventually, though.

Me too! I bought the extension and I don't have the hospital. I really must get one now! TRU seems to have the best every day price at $159.99 plus free shipping.

With the 3 I have bought that should make a 5 story hospital and that is much larger than most anything else I have so far. I really like Kaethy's and Bills designs and ideas for a diorama addition.

Hmm decisions decisions  :lol:

I ordered two more! :love: Plus a few other things. :-[ I think I've had a record-setting week on playmobil spending myself. I've bought from RRS twice, TRU twice, plus learning express and playmobilusa.

Oh do tell what else you got ? There wasn't much left at RRS but the other sites you bought at have a lot of selection.

Any body know of any other sites with steep discounts?

Well, the first RRS order was two hosp. exts, another zoo caddy, the dolphin transport, two of these: http://playmodb.org/setpics/4467.jpg , a carwash, this set: http://playmodb.org/setpics/4323.jpg , I think that's it.

Second order, two more hospital etentions, swimming pool add-on, water truck, and a grandstand.

Learning express, I got the air traffic control tower, even though i have no airplanes, just becasue it was there.

TRU, I got the expedition ship, http://playmodb.org/setpics/4469.jpg some more meerkats, some police cars, and I can't for the life of me remember what else. I'm starting to lose track! :-[

Ebay was a parts lot that had a wildebeest in it, I'm always trying to get more of those.
