Products of 'Black Forest Marie' sold out in specific locations due to a surge in demand. - Limited availability in certain locations.
The Black Forest region in Germany has been buzzing with excitement over the release of a new Playmobil special figure – the "Black Forest Marie." This figure, resembling a classic Playmobil character dressed in traditional Bavarian attire with puffed sleeves and carrying a slice of Black Forest cake, has caused a surge in demand, leading to temporary closures and high demand at sales points in Baiersbronn and Freiburg.
Astrid Ebert, owner of the toy store Holzpferd in Freiburg, reported that out of 800 pieces, almost half were sold on Friday afternoon. Similarly, the Black Forest Tourism GmbH, which announced they would sell 77,000 pieces of the figure at certain sales points in the Black Forest for 4.99 euros plus shipping, had to close its online shop due to high demand.
The figure has attracted both tourists and locals, with some buyers seeking it as a toy for children and others as a decorative item for adults. The demand has even exceeded expectations, causing some sales points to sell out on the first day and prompting others to reorder larger quantities.
Spokesperson Jutta Ulrich stated that inquiries would be processed in the coming days. In Baiersbronn (district of Freudenstadt), people queued up before tourist information opened to get a figure. However, there is currently no direct information available about the availability of restocked Black Forest Special Edition Playmobil figures in Baiersbronn and Freiburg.
If you are interested in obtaining the "Black Forest Marie" figure, consider checking with local toy stores and major retailers in Baiersbronn and Freiburg, such as specialty hobby shops or large stores carrying Playmobil. Additionally, visiting or contacting regional online shops that ship to those cities may yield results. Signing up for mailing lists or notifications from stores known to stock Playmobil could also be beneficial, as no direct info appeared in recent online sources.
For those seeking more information, contacting official Playmobil distributor contacts closest to those areas may provide up-to-date availability details. As the demand for the "Black Forest Marie" figure continues to be high, there is a possibility that Playmobil may produce a further edition if demand remains high.
