Thanks Customizer!
I see the phantom head appearing with the ghost pirates now. Nothing like that here in Europe yet, only the hooded phantom special.
One of the ghost pirates on the ship is wearing some kind of coat. Is that new?
-
Oh these are great!!! Thanks for the intel customizer!!!
-
Thanks Andi for the sets! :) I saw their pape and saw that they had a bunch of other sets too!

I believe they are Ras, the car for certain.
I strongly suspect that's a new Octopus. It doesn't look like the color changing version.
-
The police car is not a new mold, but is VERY new colors. The Octopus actually looks like one from the late ‘8Ø’s
I don’t think I’ll be getting the cannon boat, I’ve already got Ø2 4444’s (F/V Lulu and Revenue Cutter DISPATCH) .
-
Love the coat, and LOVE the eyes! Much better than the regular ghost pirates- Maybe need to hike to TRU...

Hi
I am glad they finally released the cape in not only a different color but in a set we can actually get in the US. The one in the movie was never around our area and I did not really like the red color. This gray one will fit with a lot of different Klickies. The only problem is that since it is embedded in the Klicky you will either have to buy the entire set or order the entire Pirate from DS and I do not like the color tone of that small ship
These new to TRU sets are even allowing us to order the Treasure Hunters & Asian Zoo Themes early in the US :yippee:
The new blisters do not seem like such a great bargain anymore. The old ones were 2 Klickies for $3 . Now it is 2 Klickies a horse/boat for $7. The extra horse/boat is not worth the extra $4. :(

I thought the horse itself costs more than USD 4 from DS, does it??
And I find it really awesome to see they are releasing something unique for the U.S. market, instead of just bringing spare parts together forming a awkward looking klicky, like the latest pirate duo pack!

Hi
Typically a Klicky can cost up to $2.50 from DS. So if Playmobil was selling them in dual packs at Target/TRU for $3 with the accessories it was a great deal many of us just could never resist. I do not need two dozen rowboats or pink octopuses just to have the Klickes that are in the pack. So to me they are quite useless beyond a couple.
I am not sure about the horse price from DS as I have never needed to order any. I would imagine they would be close to $4 with out the armor. DS is a very expensive parts replacement solution that I try to avoid. These blisters, especially the old ones were great army builders for cheaper than used prices. I just need to track down the elusive ACW set (at $3 I will surely buy 20)

I get it :wave: Since my collection is still small, and have yet faced similar condition. This really is troublesome getting hundreds of boats :-[

Thanks for posting, Andi!
I went to TRU yesterday, but did not see them there yet.
I like the new ghost pirates, and the new coat.
Best regards,

There's a whole bunch of new sets on their website.
While I agree with Ras that the inclusion of a horse (I have hundreds) or small rowing boat (I have dozens) decreases the value of the blisters for me, they're a good way to get extra horse/boats if you don't already have them, and better value than the carry cases.
Tim mentioned to me a couple of days ago that a new green dragon was coming, and he appears in a set with a a cut-down tower from the Dragon realm for $30. I'll have to get at least one of those.
Knowign how limited our TRU shelves are locally, I'm wondering which of these new sets will appear there at all, and which I might have to order online.
-
thanks costumizer :) this ghost theme sells i see to bring new sets to production :-\ :-\
-
Hey Martin, this new dragon set your talking about, is it a TRU exclusive?
-
Those Safari sets that were spotted at Target are also available through TRU US online and they seem to have loads of stock and free shipping if you order over 75....I get greedy just looking at everything!

US is a playmobil heaven. Low SRP, well developed online shopping system and free shipping (virtually) all year long.

I have no way of knowing. Certainly for now I have only seen it offered by TRU, and don't know the set number yet.
I popped into TRU today and they haven't reset their shelves yet, so none of this new stuff is there except the yellow temple guardian which I think an employee flexed in. They should have it set by next week and I'll have another look.
-
Thanks Customizer...I too really like that coat.
-
I must say - I love the ghostship and love the new ghost-pirates!
Hopefully they will become available here as well.

I'll be ordering the new zoo stuff as soon as I have the money. My meerkats! Koalas! I can't wait. but my husband and I are TRYING to not buy any playmo for a month. Need to pay off some credit card debt. Fun stuff... We'll see how long it lasts. ;)
-
Regarding the pirate with the new coat ... does that mean there's no place for a belt in which to put his sword? Will he have to hold it like that, like the old-style klickies from the 70s?
???

well not all modern klickys have a belt to put the sword in :)
-
Good luck Bonniebeth. I think the longest time I went without buying playmo was two weeks.

You're right: not all do, but they're 'hands' most of the time, if you see what I mean: they're just lowly pirates who'd probably be emptying slop buckets when not fighting. All the captains had belts though, and this is a captain as far as I can tell. Don't get me wrong, I really like the coat, but I find not having a belt somewhat annoying. Especially because I've just read Martin's ghost ship review and can see that PM will be using this new coat left and right from now on, like they did with the 'Romans' arms ...

I see your point Bolingbroke, but it's not such a big issue for me. I like the coat style, and if that means not having a scabbard so be it. Having nowhere to store your weapon is a common problem - three of the six "Bronze Wolf Knights" have nowhere to put their weapon when not holding it.
It's less of a problem in a ship where you can put a weapon down on the deck next to you. I put this guy at the tiller, and it would be easy to warm-glue a small scabbard (just the clip) to the side of the ship next to him for easy access in case of boarding.
-
*sigh* you're right about the knights - the funny thing about those is that I tend to prefer a knight with no scabbard and 'full' chest armour, rather than one with a belt and 'short' chest armour. I'll probably get used to it, eventually :)
-
where is that helmet from that your avatar has Bolingbroke?

It's from the viking ship set, I think. I'm waiting for the spangenhelm with the nose guard, the one that's available with the new knight sets - I think it will look better :)

The DVD-pirat has the same coat and I made a custom with a waistbelt- it fits.

How come these are not in the German catalog?
-
I really like your custom, Martina! :)
-
Awesome job Martina, thank you. :)
-
How come these are not in the German catalog?
They're also not in the US Catalog, because they are Toys'R'Us exclusives. Exclusive sets never make it into the catalogs.

Thanx Martin! Good to know! :wave:
