Toytown is carrying it which is Ban Kee Toys’ very own retail store, though they are only limited in location what they offer is far more than what you expect. But given the tie-up of the major retail stores as their priority you might find some of the older sets at this store. This would also surprise you that they also have new sets!

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.
