Does anybody have this Playmobil toy please?

[TeethingBabyHelp]

Hi all

Does anybody have this toy at all that they'd be willing to sell please? It's a playmobil take along zoo and you can put water in one side.

My little boy has seen it on YouTube and it's all he's mentioning for Christmas but it isn't sold anymore! I've found one on eBay for around £250 which I'm not willing to pay for something that was about £25 when sold.

So if anybody has this lingering in a toy box that maybe your kids have grown out of, please let me know! I'm willing to pay obviously (just not £250! )

Thank you

There is a couple listed on Facebook for £12/£15 in Peterborough and Beckenham. If you ask they may well post it to you.

I just searched on FB Marketplace

Oooo amazing thanks so much!!

@TooOldandTired thank you so much, I've messaged both of those sellers. I can't believe that I trawled American toy shop sites before I thought of FB!

No worries, good luck, I hope you managed to get one.

Let us know if you do. I love this type of Xmas present

I was told when you see silly prices like that on eBay it's because they're out of stock but it costs them to remove and relist, so they just adjust the price.

One chap has responded saying he can't post but I could collect. It's about a 2 hour drive so I will but would really rather not!

Just waiting on the second listing to reply now so keeping everything crossed

Ooo that's interesting @PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears - I didn't know that but it definitely makes sense! And also makes me feel less guilty that I'm not willing to spend that amount as it likely doesn't exist anyway

@TeethingBabyHelp, I wonder if a kindly local MNer might be able to help? It might be worth asking in a new thread with “Peterborough” or “Beckenham” in the title.

That's a really good idea @BikeRunSki
I'm so glad I started this thread, thank you!

I'll see if the second seller is willing to post for me and if not I'll definitely do that! Im happy to reward with flowers/choc/wine to save a big drive.

My son so rarely asks for a specific thing I'd love to make it happen

Definitely, I was just about to offer if it was near me, but unfortunately it's not, I'm
About 2hrs away from PB as well.

I hope you find one closer or willing to post!!

It might help to do (yet another) thread with playmobile in the title!

Great suggestion thanks @FWBNC - I reported and Mumsnet kindly added into my title for me

If they won't post, would they package it up and give it to a courier you send?

Where do you live OP?

@WeatherwaxLives I did think that but he said he doesn't use PayPal or internet banking etc so paying cash is all he can accept so I don't think courier would work! Thank you though.

@MinnieMountain I'm in Birmingham

Ah, I have an idea. I’ll PM you.

I'm in PB if you get no joy from the other seller posting to you

I live near Peterborough if I can help?

Thank you so much @UnalliterativeGeorge and @Goatling - that's so kind.

The very lovely @MinnieMountain has offered to help too so I should be sorted! I'm just waiting to see if the second seller will post and if not, @MinnieMountain is going to be an angel and help me out.

Thank you so much to everyone for your ideas and offers of help. I'll update once I have the elusive thing in my hands and also with a picture of very happy little boy after Christmas morning if it all works out

🤞🏼🤞🏼Good luck!!!

How about contacting playmobil to see if they can assist

We have afew bits including Noah's Ark it's such lovely stuff I hope you get what your after

Thank you @myheartskippedabeat - I've just emailed them

We have the Noah's ark it's so lovely. My little boy is obsessed with animals and he always asks for a bowl of water to play with them so toy is so ideal, I know he'd adore it and use it all of the time.

I have a good feeling in my bones with all the lovely help from Mumsnet!

Hi all
Brief update. I had an offer of help from one lovely mumsnetter but when we got into the arranging, the chap is actually in Market Deeping (PE6) so it's too far out which is a shame but can't be helped.

@UnalliterativeGeorge and @Goatling I know you both said that you were in or around Peterborough, is Market Deeping nearby to you at all to collect please if you're still able to? No pressure at all though if it's not convenient or close by.

The Beckenham lady replied to tell me that another lady had already messaged with the exact same situation and she's promised to post to her. It's a popular toy it seems

I can collect still. I'm in PE6 too, different village but same postcode
