How to order

• How do I place an order?
  Select the item you want to order from the Online shop and click on the button ‘in the shopping cart’ to add it to your shopping basket. Click on ‘View shopping cart’ to see the contents of your order and to make any changes. You can remove an item by clicking on the little cross next to the item. When you are happy with the order, click on ‘Checkout’ to go to payment and shipping so you can complete your order. Now, you can either register to create an account and you can save your details, or you can continue with the order as a guest without creating an account. You can choose whether to have the parcel sent to an address that is not the billing address. You can change those details in the section ‘Shipping address’ (step 1).
• Can I still add something or change the order if I have just placed it?
  As soon as you send your online order, it is transferred to our shipping system. Unfortunately, once an order is in our shipping system, it cannot be changed. That is why you can view the contents of your order before you validate it. It gives you the chance to remove or add items to your order if you want to.
• My item is not currently available in the Online Shop. What do I do?
  Perhaps the item you have selected is not yet on the market, or it is currently being manufactured. If you would like us to keep you up to date on the availability of that product, click on ‘Add reminder’. You will automatically receive an email as soon as the item is available for order. If you have registered, you can find that information via ‘My account’, under the section ‘Product reminder’. If an item is not yet on the market, you may sometimes have the option of pre-ordering it. You will then automatically receive the item after the release date.
• Can I order by telephone?
  Unfortunately, it is not possible to order by telephone. Ordering products via the Online Shop is very quick and easy.
• I have not received a confirmation of my order. Does that mean it has not been received?
  Once you have confirmed your order, we will send a confirmationemail However, it is possible that a typing error was made in your email address, which means we cannot send that email. Always check your spam folder. The email may have ended up there. Another possibility is that an error occurred when you placed the order or made the payment. To make sure that your order has been registered correctly, we recommend that you get in touch with our Customer Service Team. You can reach them via Contact on the shop’s home page.

Indeed, our highest priority is to sell toys with a high play value that are good value for money. All items that say they are ‘packaged in a plastic bag’ are part of our Playmobil Plus range. These items are intended to add to, or expand, large sets like the princesses’ castle for the lowest possible price. We also try to comply with the requests/wishes of our fans from all around the world. To be able to respond quickly to those wishes and to keep the prices low, we have decided not to pack these items in the famous blue boxes.

Playmobil products and spare parts - general information

• What scale is used for PLAYMOBIL?
  Our basic figure is made to a 1:25 scale, so it is 7.2 cm high. We used an adult male with a height of 1.80 m as our reference. All other PLAYMOBIL elements (buildings, accessories, etc) are made to suit that figure, but the scale is not always strictly applied to make the products easier to play with. If we were to apply that same scale to all our products, some elements (like a guinea pig) would be too small to be easily used by a child. Other items would be too big (e.g., a building crane).
• At which age can my child start playing with PLAYMOBIL?
  The target age group is printed on every box. Based on certain criteria (presence of small parts, use, etc.), our development team decides whether an item is suitable for a certain age group. Part of a toy that is difficult for a 2 to 3-year-old child to play with only creates frustration. Obviously, every child evolves differently, and each parent must consider whether something is suitable for their child.
• Can I clean my PLAYMOBIL?
  We recommend cleaning the plastic PLAYMOBIL parts by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and leave the pieces to dry. We do not recommend cleaning PLAYMOBIL in a dishwasher or washing machine or drying it in an oven or microwave oven. Plastic parts that have stickers on them should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Parts made of fabric should only be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Electric parts such as motors, battery holders and electric wires should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
• Why do you regularly change your range?
  PLAYMOBIL continuously tries to offer a varied range. To achieve that variation, we regularly add great new fun items and remove other items from the range. We try to offer a varied range of themes and products so that everyone can find something they can enjoy.
• Which new themes are coming soon?
  Every spring, we introduce the new themes for the current year at the Nuremberg Toy Fair (in Germany). We also publish our new catalogue at the same time. In addition, we publish another catalogue in autumn, which also has lots of fun things. You can download these catalogues via the link in the footer to this shop.
• Can I glue broken parts? Which glue should I use?
  Our toys are based on our own principles for basic design. The play value of PLAYMOBIL is based, in part, on things like the assembly and disassembly of our products. For that reason, and because children could come into contact with the glue, we do not recommend glueing the elements with glue. Consequently, we cannot give you any advice about the types of glue you should use. Did you know that PLAYMOBIL gives a 2-year guarantee on our products, so long as you can present the receipt? That means you can ask our After-Sales Service for a replacement part. If the guarantee has expired, you can still ask for a replacement part, but we will have to charge for it. You can get in touch with our After-Sales Service via the contact form. You will find the full guarantee conditions in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
• Where do I find the prices of replacement parts?
  You will find the prices of the most popular spare parts listed in the ‘Find spare parts’ section. You can then add them straight to your shopping cart. To find separate spare parts, you will need the reference number, of course; you will find those 8-figure part numbers on the building instructions. If you don’t have the building instructions to hand to check the part numbers, we recommend that you visit the ‘Building instructions’ section. Many of our assembly instructions are available to download from that section for free.
• My PLAYMOBIL parts are discoloured; how did that happen?
  Sometimes PLAYMOBIL pieces can become discoloured if they are not stored correctly. Exposure to UV rays can drastically affect the pieces - white parts could turn yellow, for example. Unfortunately, once the pieces are discoloured, there is no way of returning them to their original colour.
• How do I know whether my vehicle set can be expanded with a remote control (RC)?
  Both our catalogues and the packaging explain whether a vehicle set can be expanded with a remote control. The micro-site below contains a list of our latest vehicle sets that can be combined with an RC. You can also download building instructions here - https://rc-modul.playmobil.com.
• Where can I buy the large PLAYMOBIL figures?
  We like to display almost life-sized dolls at the PLAYMOBIL Roadshows and events. We make those figures and animals specifically for those events and they are, unfortunately, not for sale.
• Where can I find information about PLAYMOBIL FunParks?
  PLAYMOBIL has a number of theme parks in different places around the world. Children can let their imaginations run wild in the giant PLAYMOBIL settings in the PLAYMOBIL FunParks. They can pretend to be pirates and knights, ... and go on glorious adventures. Children are encouraged to use their imagination and creativeness and to entertain themselves. You will find more information about our PLAYMOBIL FunParks in the section ‘Information/Company information’ in the shop’s footer.

Playmobil products and spare parts - specific information

• Can all vessel sets be expanded with the RC underwater motor 7350?
  The RC underwater motor does not fit all boats. The micro-site below contains a list of our latest vehicle sets that can be combined with an RC underwater motor; you can also download building instructions here - https://rc-modul.playmobil.com.
• If I have several boats that are equipped with the RC underwater motor, can I sail them all at once?
  If you want to sail several remote-controlled boats at the same time, you will need to connect each underwater motor to its remote control, one by one, by following the instructions on page 8. You can then organise a whole regatta with your friends.
• If I have several vehicles that are equipped with the RC module 6914, can I drive them all at once?
  If you want to drive several remote-controlled vehicles at the same time, you will need to connect each motor to its remote control, one by one, by following the instructions on page 8. Now you can race with your friends.
• My RC is not responding; what should I do?
  PLAYMOBIL tries to make sure that only products of the highest quality reach our customers, so malfunctions are quite rare. If your RC is not responding, please follow the steps below first of all: Open the battery compartment and remove the batteries. Check whether the metal contacts are clean. If they are not shiny, or if you can see traces of powder, clean them with a dry cloth or sandpaper. Check whether the batteries in the motor and the remote control are charged sufficiently; replace them if necessary by new ones or recharge them if they are rechargeable batteries. When inserting the batteries in the item, make sure the polarity (+/-) is the right way round. Both the motor and the remote control have a quartz cell which determines the frequency to which the motor and the remote control should be tuned. You can find the quartz cell’s frequency with a colour code. Make sure that both parts of the RC contain quartz cells with matching colours. Check the wiring too and make sure all the plugs are firmly plugged in. If none of these tips help at all, please get in touch with our After-Sales Service. You can get in touch via the contact form. You will find the full guarantee conditions in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
• My IR controls are not responding; what should I do?
  PLAYMOBIL tries to make sure that only products of the highest quality reach our customers, so malfunctions are quite rare. If your IR controls are not responding, please follow the steps below first of all: Open the battery compartment and remove the batteries. Check whether the metal contacts are clean. If they are not shiny, or if you can see traces of powder, clean them with a dry cloth or sandpaper. Check whether the batteries in the motor and the remote control are charged sufficiently; replace them if necessary by new ones or recharge them if they are rechargeable batteries. When inserting the batteries in the item, make sure the polarity (+/-) is the right way round. Quickly check whether the motor and the remote control are synchronised. Have you placed the power cell and the power stone properly in the vehicle? After 5 minutes, the IR vehicle will switch to standby mode (the power cell will not show a flashing light any more). To make it ready for driving again, you need to place another power cell and another power stone in it again. If none of these tips help at all, please get in touch with our After-Sales Service. You can get in touch via the contact form. You will find the full guarantee conditions in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
• The wheels of my IR-controlled car keep locking; how can I fix this problem?
  The control’s overload protection device has switched on. Move the forward axle back and forth until it clicks into place.
• My underwater motor sails backwards; what I am doing wrong?
  It is very likely that you have put the batteries in the wrong way round. When you insert the batteries, make sure the polarity (+/-) is the right way round.
• My RC car drives backwards instead of forwards and left instead of right. What’s happening?
  Perhaps reversing switch no. 6 or 7 is not properly adjusted. Please use the 2 small switches on top of the narrowest side of the transmitter to tune the RC car correctly. Look at the building instructions as well.
• I’m having trouble using RC underwater motor 5536; can you help me?
  Perhaps these useful tips will help you play with your underwater motor correctly. Before you play with it: Fix the battery compartment with the batteries underneath the motor. Place the remote control with notch 6 (see the building instructions) at an angle on the underwater motor. Press remote control button 2 (see the building instructions) down until LED lights 3, 4 and 5 (see building instructions) light up. This can take a few seconds. LED lights 3 and 4 light up in green; LED light 5 lights up in red. Now, tune the remote control to the underwater motor by pressing down pairing button 7 (see building instructions) for several seconds until LED light 5 turns green. This can take a few seconds. You can now fix the underwater motor underneath the boat. After you have finished playing: Please switch off the remote control and disconnect the battery compartment from the motor to cut off the power supply and prevent the batteries running out. Check the building instructions for more instructions.

Legal information and safe shopping

• What is PLAYMOBIL’s guarantee entail?
  PLAYMOBIL believes in the importance of the quality, safety, design and presentation of our products. Our quest for quality and safety begins at the design stage. Our products comply with both European and American safety standards for toys, and undergo testing in all the stages of their manufacture by an independent institute, i.e. LGA (Landesgewerbeanstalt). However, it can happen that, despite the fact that we aim for quality, our products show signs of wear and tear. We cannot guarantee absolute durability, because the durability also depends on a number of external factors (wear and tear during play, storage). We give a 2-year guarantee on all our products, dating from the day of purchase or delivery. The guarantee comprises free replacement or repair of a broken part, so long as you can present the receipt. You will find the full guarantee conditions in the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
