English NotesMarx toys produced their own Playmobil under licence in Swansea, UK, between 1976 and February 1980 when the Dunbee Combex Marx group declared bankruptcy and all production stopped
Only released in the UK
Released in early 1979
Discontinued Feb 1980
Marx initially manufactured most of the parts themselves, which is why a lot of the parts do not have the playmobil logo on them, but towards the end, as they got into financial difficulty, they included more and more parts from Playmobil. The figure stands and traffic cones in this set, for example, have the Playmobil logos
Hair colours were random
This set the grey tools did come on a sprue
Marx were much tighter with parts and rarely put the parts sprues in the boxes with extra parts on them. For example they didn't put a sprue of 5 revolvers in the box as was usually the case in most playmobil sets
