Wow! Some interesting new sets in there!
-
Yes some interesting sets for the US market, but we have been completely skipped over for the Farm theme the second year in a row. I assume that means if you want any of the regular farm theme sets you will need to get them from Europe as the US wont be getting them. We have also been skipped over for the holiday market set that has been available in Germany for three years now. I will have to get a couple of those from Germany I guess as I give up on them here. It's clear they are really diverging with their product mix and no longer offering all the sets they make to all export markets. Also missing are the International versions of many of the Police theme sets including the police car, the mounted officer, the traffic team with canine, and the motorcycle. So not only did I have to import the German police bike but now I have to import the international version too. Not happy about that.
-
We were left out of the Ranger's lodge too- a theme that I was looking forward to.
-
Oh, I missed that but yeah that really sucks. I have much of that theme already from Germany so wasn't watching for it like the farm. It's interesting they are skipping the outdoor themes, which I would have thought would be popular here. Maybe not, maybe their customer profile for the US is more urban due to the price points?
-
Some of the carry cases are on iberia as well - I believe the ones on page 49...
And that ice cream truck looks.... tasty!

I'm not sure. It's disappointing, and now I'll have to order them. I don't think the farm themes have sold well here in the past few years- such a shame too. I too am disappointed in the Christmas market not being brought to the US. I find it curious as they are re-releasing the Christmas Post Office Advent Calendar.

I am excited about that one too!
I'm also happy to see the additional Hockey teams being released- and now I'm really behind on them.

I had seen some of those in Malta ... of course I don't know the teams.
Just saw the "take along" pirate thing... Is there a pic from the front? MUST have the chandelier, at least.
I wonder if these will make it to this side of the pond.
Edit: AND the shop "take along".. are those... HAIRS!? WANT. WANT. WANT. WANT. :-[
-
Yes, looks like Gene hair in white and cream yellow.
I will get the ice cream truck since it's just a repaint of the food truck, and I really like that one.
Also the coffee shop carry case has one of the new muffins, so that's a must. The Pirate Stronghold looks like a tavern to me, but I suppose they wont call it that for fear of backlash.
Hmmm just realized the Fire and Ice game sets aren't there either. I suppose they may show up on the website anyway? But maybe not. I just ordered the figures as loose parts from Playmobil.de but may have to go back and order the whole sets too if they aren't going to make it here.
-
I keep going through and seeing different parts and pieces that I want... and I've realized how far behind I've gotten on other sets
-

I remember when that cool Alpine theme vanished from playmobil.us without so much as a by your leave, let alone a discount. BIFURCATION!

Alex's?

We decided against that one, unless it makes it to Europe...

I hadn't noticed that one.. looks TASTY :P

I wonder what the "house" looks like on the other side.... We don't have any of these.

I would love the ice cream truck :love:
May have to talk nicely to someone in the US :wave:
-
Can I buy this Sets in Canada too.????

There happen to be a few of us that could help
-
Easter eggs??? In Mexico we cannot get them since several years ago. Not in the US now??? :o
-
I haven't paid as much attention in the last few years so I didn't realize that whole themes were cut from the US product line. As for most of the new products I don't care for them. I'm the type of Playmobil fan who gets far more excited about which items will be re-released in the Direct Service catalog.
Why are there so many repeats in the Series 12 Mystery Figures? :-\

I hadn't noticed. Ugh! I wanted the slack line!

They stated this is for those who missed out on the earlier editions. They consider this an All-Star type edition

Ah, thanks for the info. I was wondering why there were so many duplicates too.

I must get that set! :captain:
Should I count on the PCC´s next sale? ::)

Backlash? About a "pirates´tavern"? ???

Depends on how bad that you want it.
In the US mentioning "Tavern" would get it pulled from the shelves for promoting alcohol
-
Yep, it's a bar, they are promoting alcoholism to Children! Etc
-
I recently saw Disney's Sleeping Beauty from 1959 and was stunned by the lengthy. hilarious scene in which the two kings get completely plastered and fall all over the place. Even their troubadour winds up drinking out of his lute and passing out under the table.
Absolutely unthinkable today!

I went onto the PM USA site a few moments ago and it says that it is "down for scheduled maintenance..." I wonder if they are adding the January offerings (that they don't already have up) to the site currently- if so, that will make my order that I was working on change a bit.
-
And I was right. The Ice Cream truck and several other newer sets.

Yet all the double beds, babies, couples etc which promote sex are okay.
Depending on what the front looks like that stronghold might be the first carry case that I want. That [ahem] refreshment area looks amazing.

If they need to take down the website to add new items, they should reconsider their web platform.

Ditto.

Indeed.

Badly! ;D
I´ll wait till the EU (euh Broken Up Un-United States of Europe) novelties 2nd half 2017 are unveiled, mabye this set will appear here as well.
When not, I´ll probably need some help from a Playmofriend residing in the USA...

When mentioned on a pirates´toyset?!
Unbelievable! 8} 8} 8}
The word "gun" wouldn´t be a problem at all, I assume... :P

"Gun" is a touchy word as well sometimes
If it doesn't come out in the 2nd half in the EU, let me know and I'll gladly grab one for you
