Up on Playmobil's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzErri_Ex4Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzErri_Ex4Y)
It looks great, most of the big themes are shown, with details like the working light on the coast guard station, the sound and lights for the fire brigade and so forth. Narrator is Judith Weingart, head of public relations and a very nice lady. She was one of the principle people we worked with when the collector reps met in Germany with the company to get the PCC started.

Thanks for the link, Tiermann! That is a cool video. Apparently they are the Hawk Knights, not Falcon Knights again. :)
-
Loved the video - and the lady too.. She looks enthusiastic about it - AND in english :love:
-
Thanks for the link, Tim. Interesting video, but still not as informative as a 360 degree view. The siren on the new fire engines is disappointing, and I wish they used the continental style modulating thirds siren.
-
Very nice video!! Thanks for the sharing Tim.
George. :)

Nice video indeed.
Shows a great line up once again.
-
Thank you Tim for bringing this to our attention. I do not go to FB so I would have missed it. There were some very nice shots of the new sets. The presenter did a great job but they should at least let her touch the big stuff :lol:
The one thing I wanted to see was the hay cart and how it opens up and I did not want to hear that the LED ghost was infected with rainbows, come on ::)
-
Tim, thank you very, very much!
And, for those of you who haven't yet seen the NEW 2014 King's Castle (that Judith previewed at the Nürnberg Toy Fair), here's a link to the video and the story ...

Thanks for the link, Tim. A nice close-up of all the new stuff. And it was nice getting to see Judith, she does seem very nice.
Gordon, I think the box-back and 360 views will be put up there eventually. It usually takes a few weeks for the new releases. They already have the box-back images for the first half of 2014 items.

Thanks for the links.
The entrance-gate of the big castle is even more awful then I first thought... completely blue on the inside.
Would it's doors have the same size as those from the gate of the Falcon-castle 4866? If yes, one could order those from DS to change the castle's gate. Otherwise it will be the spraycan to make it look less childish...
It also seems the rockbase is really a big part of the ground level, so this castle uses much less wall-area then with the previous large castles (idea copied from the Western-Fort).
The video confirms again the castle's house (not the complete keep) looks nice from the front, but not sideways; much too narrow there.
I think the smaller castle - after exchanging the red drawbridge with a brown one or repainting it - will be the better looking one.
Btw, I thought Frau Weingart had retired about a year ago?! Am I confusing her with someone else?

Thank you Richard for the video link. I do like these cartoon animations but on this particular one I had a hard time following the story line. Klickies kept showing up form nowhere and not much was explained. Is it a commercial where they have a very limited time constraint to get as much info in as possible? It would be nice to see a full length version where the gaps in the story are included.
It was very informative to see where the hay separates, now I want at least a dozen of that set (just wish it only came with the peasant or even a peasant family)
Oh and when will Geobra make a stone bridge like the one at the first segment of the story, its very nice looking and if it were stecks we could build big ones ;)

Erwin,
Perhaps you were thinking of Gisela Kupiak who retired a couple of years ago?
Attached is a photo of Gisela with Andreas Männer and one of his great cakes!
All the best,
Richard

Ras,
Agree with you about the "story line"!
Had to watch the darn thing several times to even come close to figuring it out ...
The graphics were great! But, for this one, Geobra must have used someone other than Bart de Smet as his story lines have always been very clear and easy to follow.
All the best to you and your family,
Richard
BTW ... After almost fifteen years, Susan and I have made a decision to leave the USVI. Villarisa is up for sale!

Saw this on Facebook yesterday evening it's quite interesting:

My thoughts are the new mansion and preschool really bright colours suits the nursery theme, no doubt will appeal to a lot of kids and good to see the new babies hands, I'm not sure on the new curly hair think I need to see some better photos. The Rescue guys and Firemen also look good updated versions not really sure there's anything that excites me to much there though altohugh the brown bearded Rescue guy appears to have one of the newer less often seen hair scuplts and the motorcycle on fire looks good.
The amusement park looks really good some great rides for some reason the teacup espue ride and the game where you knoc the bottles down stand out to me but, I like the new clown and the snack stall as well plus some good figures
I think my faovurite them though has to be the new Knights theme it looks really awesome I'm sure there's going to be a few sets I want from that the Hawk Knights look good but, wow those Lion Knights what bold design and the combination of red, blue and gold, loving the gold Knight with the blue cloak in particular. Also we've got the Troll plus a really nice Dragon as much as I like the 1990's one I had with it's comical design and human hads this one to me looks like one of their most realistic ones yet the new Dwarf costume looks good and a great choice of beard.

That was my exact thought when I first watched that video! ;D

Thanks for the info, BB. I'll keep checking.

You're right, Richard, thanks!
It is indeed Frau Kupiak who had retired! :doh:
