The roll out for the latest Playmobil sets was a simultaneous release for all the stores within Metro Manila with the priority to make them available in all major retail outlets namely Toys R’ Us, which was previously sighted its Greenbelt branch. Though not all sets are available in one store some have been sporadically spread out to some of the branches that have more foot traffic.

Playmobil | Sightings at TRU Greenbelt

Just when you think that the Playmobil brand will be discontinued in the Philippines there was a surprising development during midday of Friday. There are very few selected sets that have pop-up out of one Toys R’ Us store in Metro Manila, and it must be one of those branches that unlikely gets enough foot traffic due to its “hole in the wall” location that is occasionally looked up. Later that day TRU relocated the Playmobil shelves beside the LEGO area, which is both distributed by Ban Kee Trading in the Philippines. With that they have widened the shrunken up shelves to take the whole side, which use to occupy by generic dinosaurs and brick imitations.
