The most wanted Playmobil Western Train around the world today: The 4032 Steaming Mary. This train can sell for around $600.00 to 1.200 USD depending on the state of the Train.
Why is this set so wanted? Because it is the coolest looking Western Train that playmobil ever made, unfortunately they didn’t relaunch this set (at least not so far) making it a rare set to find.
Being such an old Train set, the back of the box does not show the contents of the set, so here it is a photo of the inside of the train set box so you can see somewhat what you get.
This is a very rare and exclusive PlaymoSpace set that was manufactured by Playmobil Estrela only in Brazil, a south American country. One of their (Estrela) most known skills is their box covers, look below all their awesome backgrounds and setups.
Estrela is a toy company in Brazil that was responsible for producing and distributing Playmobil toys in the country, hence why they went ahead and decided to be a little bit creative in changing the colors of this space set. They used Yellow and Black with Red, instead of the White from Germany and USA.
Above you can watch the full review of the Brazilian Estrela PlaymoSpace Space Ship, set numbered 30.18.30, with all its accessories shown by PlaymoBello on Youtube!
This space ship (or UFO) was released in 1990 and hence it did not have all the accessories listed on the back of the box, instead they had a beautiful space scene for kids to look at and get ideas to play with.
This is the most famous PlaymoSpace set released by Playmobil in the year 1980-1989. This space station made kids around the world love the playmobil space series for decades.
It has a glass top that is removable, like a lid, allowing full access inside the space ship control room, resembling a Star Trek room, with a few driver seats and a captain in the middle.
Above is an AD for the Playmobil Space sets from the 80’s. This set sells for around 100 to 150.00 US Dollars for a complete used set, with all five astronauts.
In 1988 playmobil released one of their first Western Union cannon sets, this one in particular being well known by fans as one of the best as it has a complete wagon with the cannon.

Unfortunately, back in the 80’s playmobil wasn’t used to having all the accessories showcasing on the back of the box, but here it is a fan made photo of all the items that comes in this box.
This Western Passenger Train by Playmobil, set number 4001 was the second train ever released by Playmobil, it was numbered 4001, 4002, 4003 and 4004 depending on what year it was released. They were absolutely identical, just different box numbers.
Playmobil did not manufacture the train rails, they were licensed and sold to Playmobil so they could use with their trains by LGB, scale G at 600mm. If you ever want to buy more train rails and can’t find them, just search for the “LGB G Scale 600mm rails” and you will get a ton! They are exactly the same, made by the same manufacturer.
Above you can see a opened box with all the accessories inside, playmobil would pack the LGB train rails inside a blue box labeled Playmobil, followed by a box with the transformer and cables to connect to the train rails.
This is one of the very first Western Forts ever made by Playmobil, back in the year 1987, Fort Bravo, the headquarters of the 3rd Cavalry of the Western Union.
Above you can see the glorious box art showcasing the five characters that comes with this set 3773, and the fort, emulating wooden planks all around their headquarters.
If you enjoy watching video reviews of complete playmobil sets, above you may like to view the Youtube review from PlaymoBello, of the set 3773 Fort Bravo from the year 1987.
Unfortunately, back in the 80’s Playmobil didn’t have the back of their boxes designed with the accessories listings, instead it was just a blue empty canvas, or as shown above, a very awesome and cool looking scenery created by their artists.
The Susanne fishing boat, playmobil set 3551 is the most adored and known boat made by Playmobil. It is worth around $300.00 to $600.00 dollars depending on the condition of the boat.
The reason becomes clear as soon as you look at one, it is full of details, rigging ropes and looks realistic and cool.
The playmobil fishing boat Susanne was also featured in an awesome playmobil poster, alongside with the blue and white coast guard ship.
The boat comes with three fisherman including their captain plus a traveler, a dog and a lot of fishes, over +30 fishes.
Since this boat was released in 1983, it is so old playmobil did not print the accessories rooster on the back of the box, so above I am posting an image of its manual and pieces.
This is a very rare and old set by Playmobil System from around 1976-1988, not even the set number refers to this set anymore, even Playmobil used that number 3208 to relate to another newer set from 2002.
What is really cool about this set is that these are the very first designs of Playmobil’s American choppers. In here you get three different colors, green blue and red.
