A Look into an 80's DS Catalogue
« on: September 04, 2011, 09:53:27 »
I know someone (I can't remember who :-[) shared some pics of a similar catalogue a few years ago, but I have just recieved this one from ebay and wan to share it's contents with you all :love:

I have taken a photograph of every page in order, and hopefully you can make out each item.

There may be a few ideas we can get for the year after next's DS catalogue ;)

This particular catalogue is dated 1988 (I can't remeber when DS started :-[)

Damo :)

Ooh, I didn't know that suit of armor was ever available as an add-on! :D Train cars and cannons and fort extentions, Oh my! ;D And it reminded me that I would love to see that smaller black bear come back, as well as the gnus/wildebeests.

Thanks for sharing, some wonderfull add-ons in that catalogue!  :)

Btw, the text on the back of the front cover (in the blue square) mentiones "To all Playmobil-fans, yet in 1987 a Playmobil-fanclub will be established"....  Signed by Gisela Kupiak, who today still is the head of Playmobil Germany's customer-service.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!
