Thanks for sharing.

It would be interesting to see what the currency conversion would be.

Not only a straight conversion but also one adjusted for inflation.

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.

:) and i am sure horst brandstatter also "endorsed" the club back then.
 :) after a visit to antex's playmobil page - http://www.antexandina.com.ar/linea.php?linea=8 - i am sure you will all agree with me.
 :!: we don't need a collectors club - all we need is a club de aficionados de playmobil/antex. :yup: i am sure it will easier to deal with antex than with geobra.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Anted does make some very nice sets. Old western buildings, fort, fishing boat, houseboat.

Maybe with contact with them they would ship / sell directly for less. With input they might improve production standards (Tonguello has mentioned they are poorer quality).

Too bad they don't have Steck castle and olde house moulds. (or do they, but do not use them?!)

Many thanks for sharing the pictures! !  8-)  8-) I suddenly remember those pages. I once bought pirate & knights accessories back in 1989 in a large store in Köln, they sold small DS bags loose. Great memories!

Thank Damo, that's cool to see.

Do you think the bears are the really dark brown or the regular brown? I've only seen the really dark ones from the UK lately so was thinking maybe they were Playpeople, but it could be that they were DS instead.

lighting sometimes makes some items look differently but they turn our to be the same
maybe that's the case with this bear?
