Playmobil Fairy Tale Sets

Deal alerts included....


Magical Queen Fairy Tale Set

So this is ending up to be a fairy tale toys week for me. I was shopping online at Barnes and Noble for something unrelated and discovered that the Playmobil Fairy Tale sets are on sale, cheaper than I've ever seen them online. So I thought I would share with any of you looking for holiday shopping ideas for little ones, or not so little ones. They are an additional $5 off the lowest listed price on the site through a special toy sale. (The terms are unclear, but each set was reduced an extra $5 in my cart, so buying more than one at the discounted price is possible in one order.)


Fairy Tale Set Lost Boy and Girl

For those of you who don't know, Playmobil has an entire series of fairies and castle toys for children, including three specific Marchen (fairy tale) sets. The sets are named with the German titles--Schneewittchen, Hansel und Gretel and Aschenputtel--which are Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella, of course. They are given more prosaic and rather unhelpful English names, however, so they often don't come up in straight searches for toys.


Princess Fairy Tale Set

Anyway, I once again adore these because they aren't branded with licensed character names. The sets are also more gender neutral, especially Hansel and Gretel. How often do you see Hansel and Gretel toys, anyway?


Magic Castle with Princess Crown

So I thought I'd share while the sale is still on. I don't know the ending date, but I always assume sooner than later on these. [Edit: I believe the sale ends at 11:59 PM on Sunday, Oct. 11th, time zone unknown.)


Royal Carriage

There are more castles and fairy sets, but I'm not going to link to them all. I just chose my favorites to share here, but be sure to explore to see them all if your interest is peaked. Not all are available on BN. Amazon has more sets, but with higher prices right now. You can also explore the Playmobil website. (It's funny that the dwarfs are sold in sets of five, not seven.)

Barnes and Noble also has some coupons right now--these don't work on the toys, but could be applied to other items, such as books or calendars. BN always has one of the best selections of calendars and they have the Rackham 2010 Calendar I'm debating for myself.

Dates: Ends 10/18

The links in this post are affiliate links so SurLaLune will also receive a small percentage of any purchase you make after using the links, if you are so inclined to shop. Not my primary reason for sharing, but helpful all the same.
