So those not in the secret society need to wait another week or so?

Hardly a secret society, me thinks... :P

I don't know, I am not in the secret group either. I am a pcc member so I can see over there.
-
Just dont get your hopes up.
-
Yeah, a secret society that is open for ANYONE to join for a negligible cost.

Let's just say, you better like pink, purple, blue and other pastel colors. My little ponies anyone?
Geobra has officially been taken over by women. :lol: :cheerlead: :confetti: :bloom: :inlove: :*) :bunny: :bdaycake: :cloud9: :rainbow:
It's a child's toy after all, only pink wearing dads allowed, good buy masculinity :wave: Oh but wait, there is a way to escape to another planet, there is still hope ;)

Women?????
Marketing, you mean.

Yeah, women aren't just a bunch of pink-loving mindless idiots. I hate this pink-ifying of everything just as much as any guy. I got the impression from the replies by the PCC that perhaps they themselves aren't too wild about it, but feel obligated to go along with the findings of their market research. I on the other hand feel that little girls are only so wild about pink because advertisers tell them they are supposed to be, and I wish more companies would buck the trend like playmobil used to do.

I think I hate it MORE than any guy.
After all, we "girls" are the ones being reduced to pink-loving mindless idiots. I seriously find it offensive, though playmobil is VERY far from lego in that department.
I should really try to find that lego cat that made me sick. Thing is, as you can imagine, I have NO IDEA where it is. :-[

Exactly. I don't consider myself a feminist AT ALL, but even I find it offensive.
-
Very understandeable, I can only imagine how much unwanted pink toys, clothes, etc any girl might get during their childhood at birthdays and such. Even if you wanted the very same thing in another color but got the pink one just because youre a girl.
Personly I just received the occasional unwanted construction toy and such which I had no interest in.
It's so weird though that while in recent years eyes are opening and theres far more awareness about gender roles and such, and somehow Playmobil is actually going backwards with it considering earlier years. Well I gues its pretty much the same for quite some years now.. Always a few over the top girly themes that makes you almost want to vomit just by looking at them. :-\
And also keeping various themes specifically for boys and really trying to exclude girls by either not having any or just one female character in the entire batch and outright focusing on war and nothing else, with every set being about making war.
-
Yes, I agree. The girls themes which used to me neutral are now specifically marketed to them and the boy themes which used to be more normal are getting more violent with less and less civilians. What gives Geobra, have an agenda to push on children? The excuse that kids chose is a cop-out to me. Stand your ground and stay neutral and innocent not polarized and violent.
-
It's not just Playmobil, it's toys in general these days.

Yes. But it is sad to see playmobil going that way.
I think this was pointed out before (and by someone else too!) . it may sound corny, but I wanted playmobil to be BETTER than everyone else... "better than, above"..
-

Excellent point.

I thought I'd put this here since it doesn't require PCC membership, so everyone can see these. They are the two new sets that we discussed here, if anyone remembers :lol::
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=13533.msg250502;topicseen#msg250502
They both appeared on the site now, with inventories. :D I'm not sure how long they have been there or if anyone has seen them yet. I didn't see them mentioned anywhere else here!

Well, the media blackout is over, so I've added all the new 2015 sets to the "2015 Releases" theme. All pictures came straight from the official site - even though they don't have set-pages there yet, the pictures are available if you modify the URL of pictures for the sets you CAN find! Once the sets appear on the official site properly, I'll separate them into their proper themes, but for now they're all here in one place.

I hate how they re-design the soldiers with every theme. It would be good to just expand what already exists to cover new ground ... it's hard to army-build like that. The pirate sets are quite poor ... there used to be 5 klickies in the pirate ship sets, now there's only 3? Some very useful parts though for those who are into these things.
