Here goes...our six-year-old is a Playmobil addict :))) I cannot blame her since I was the same when little as I grew up with German cousins. Their bigger stuff are sooo expensive in Sweden and the range not that good, so we try to buy when in Germany. However, there are no grand tours of Bavaria planned for now and my aunt in Wolfsburg who sometimes buys things on request to bring for holidays has no real toyshop in WOB, just WalMart etc.

So, seeing as Lübeck is one of our nearest German cities and a world heritage at that, we thought we would make it a UNESCO Playmobil weekend sometime soon :) Can you lot just assure me that Lübeck has a typical German, i.e. good, toyshop? Something like Obletter in Bavarian cities...? Swedish and Danish toyshops are either just the same old boring Scando-nationals or specialised "wooden toy" shops. Help a six-year-old unite with her dream jet airplane with additional luggage van and security scan :)

and search for Spielzeug.

There's a ToysRUs-Shop in Lübeck, probably somewhere in the fringes

Store Locator:
www.toysrus.de

Well, in WOB, they just have the big toys for the grown-ups :-))))))

Bertil, thanks but I know how to find shops in Germany, the problem is the Yellow pages won't tell me if they are of the type I described above - typical huge and educational and full of Playmobils :)))

Yes Rhine roll - expeeeeensive toys! ToysRUs can be found in Sweden too and is very similar to the Danish toy chain here...Playmobils are few and expensive...

All right. Try
www.playmobil.de and contact them asking for their retailers in Lübeck.

Haha, as many times as I've been on that site with my daughter just to see what she would like and check out their Fun Park in Nürnberg...I completely forgot to check retailers yesterday (and I had to look for it on their sitemap as there was no obvious link) - that was a great idea Bertil. Now I have found Salzmann and others to visit :)
