So, seeing as some of the items the pilot-PCC chose actually made it to the DS catalog for 2011 I would like to find out what other members would like. Due to room constraints in the PCC not everyone could voice their opinions. Here is your chance to put up suggestion that I could put to vote to see how different it might be from the pilot-PCC's.
What would you want Geobra to include in a DS catalog for 20XX?
-
I'd like to see rolling stock for the steam loco, passenger and freight, especially the latter. Here are some items I have in mind:
http://playmodb.org/setpics/7505.jpg
http://playmodb.org/setpics/4102.jpg - this was in the DS catalogue at one time as 7523
http://playmodb.org/setpics/7520.jpg
http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4108.htm
http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4101.htm
Spare motor blocks would be good too.

3233x - Police Truck (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3233x)
3540 - Houseboat (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3540)
3525 - Hook & Ladder Truck #21 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3525)
3551 - Fishing Boat (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3551)
3789 - White Rescue Helicopter (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3789)
3224 - Medical First Aid Tent (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3224)
3723 - Jazz Quartet (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3723)
3740 - Schooner Ship (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3740)
3348 - Hard-Hat Diver (Yellow/Black) (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3348)
3770 - Colorado Springs Station (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3770)
3652 - Tournament Knights With Viewing Stand (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3652)
.....
I can think of more of course but I'll stop here... But I would also suggest any western house, any old (3215, 3216,3217) car or van (3253, 3254, 3530), any playmospace vehicle, any victorian set, cars like the 3708 in differen colour...lets say blue, variations of indian teepees...and many many more ;D ;D ;D

First Thoughts!
Wildebeests (Gnus)
The Yoke (Thanks Playmofire. Orig. text: The thingy to carry two buckets with (3487 (http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3487.htm)))
Pottery wheel

This is a very simple request, but I would love an add-on pack of two wildebeest/gnus. http://www.animobil.info/text/3e258fc-1187.html They've been discontinued a long time, and I'd love to have a herd.
I'm sure there's more, I'll think on it and come back.
----edit----
you beat me to it Gis! I was typing at the same time you were! :lol:
edit: fixed broken link
-
Gordon, I see you are in a train mood :lol:
I would want the 4305, 7400, 4300, 4301, 3433
for starters that is :P

The 7400 would make a good basis for a footbridge - is that what you have in mind?
The 4300 would be attractive to me too.
-
The western schoolhouse http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3767
Golden Nugget Saloon http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3787
Some western train cars, including the engine, and a better teepee, perhaps like the one in this set: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3733 rather than the silly red white & blue one that is currently offered.
-
The 4034 train would be great to be re-issued!!! and the western school yes, although there was a version of it released but it was a different colour and it did not have the clock...
-
As Claire suggested in the other thread, the igloo and the victorian lamp post would be great, too.
-
I would said.... from the top of my head:
1) victorian lampost
2) victorian kiosk
3) the steck stone stairs
4) medieval tournament stand
5) western train
6) any medieval house with a four side pointed roof (like the museum)
and some other there have been already mentioned.
-
Anything Steck.
Steck castle walls and all connectors.
4 way steck connector.

:yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:
-
For starters I would like to see a viking long ship (with crew) and the 3055 schooner.
-
So many great ideas already mentioned. I would add to the list:
- solid Steck house walls (no windows or doors) in all colors
- a "Rudolph" Christmas reindeer with a light-up nose (I guess that's a new item)

Yes, NO NEW ITEMS. this is only for re-issued items only & the soon to be released bakery has the double male windowless tudor wall (even though we were told the mold was bad)
-
:yup: Anything steck.
1. 3449 Museum
2. 3440 Tailor's house
3. 3455 Pottery house
4. 3487 Water well and fool
Many of these you have all already mentioned, but I just wanted to cast my vote. Maybe we should vote on our top 5 choices, so we know what to have the PCC ask for next :!:
-

Sorry, Rasputin! :-[ But we need a place for new items, too! Someone has already mentioned a 4-way steck connector which I assume is meant to be the full-height castle one which does not currently exist.
Yes, I know about the bakery having that wall but I want it in green, old yellow, red, blue, and new yellow, as well as the original white! The mold situation is interesting. They may not be using any of the old molds anymore at all. It is my understanding that with their new equipment they can create a mold and start using it very quickly. The blank wall may be from a newly generated mold.

The 4 way exists but in only brown, it came in a steck farm

* victorian lamp-post (if the electronic parts cause a problem, i'm sure it would be much cheaper without them and i don't need them anyway)
* mountain goats (3843/7096)
* piano player (5551)
-
Mountain goats! How could I forget them? Of course they would be great. Also, if as Indianna says, new molds aren't a problem, I'd love to see female mountain goats (shorter horns, and another obvious difference.)
-
Western Train, Western train, and the western train
Did I mention the western train?
Colorado Springs, the Schooner (only with the original crew), and some of the harder to find Victorian sets would also be on my wish list. ;)
-
First and fore most: The 4052! (I don't care if it is a RC unit).
All different type of train wagons preferably with a more realistic colours then recent years.
-
The 4 way exists but in only brown, it came in a steck farm
Yeah, I have some of those - I was thinking of the much-wished-for ones that would match the gray "stone" castle walls
. . . . The mold situation is interesting. They may not be using any of the old molds anymore at all. It is my understanding that with their new equipment they can create a mold and start using it very quickly. The blank wall may be from a newly generated mold.

Maybe the folks who take the factory tour later this year can ask about this. Because some of the early conversation about the old Steck molds took place at the now-defunct Playmoboard, many of the references are lost. My recollection of the conversation, though, is that around the time that Playmobil started producing SystemX they were also phasing out their old production systems in favor of new CAD/CAM technology. I believe that the original Steck molds were "old-fashioned" in the sense that they were milled and machined in a very labor-intensive and time-consuming way. The new technology allows them to create a mold very quickly and efficiently (see this article about Playmobil molds.) (http://www.moldmakingtechnology.com/articles/from-the-field-programming-software-for-producing-playmobile-toy-molds) They may have phased out their old molds entirely and may be using this new technology for the recent Steck houses. Of course, there is nothing to stop them from re-making all the old Steck pieces (and some new ones!) with new more efficient and cost-effective molds! :D
-
the schooner crew!!!! just the crew! how could I forget that???
-
Of course, there is nothing to stop them from re-making all the old Steck pieces (and some new ones!) with new more efficient and cost-effective molds! :D
There also is the issue of the steck patent. In the US the right to exclude others from making it is aprox 20 years. So if geobra started making steck in large #'s again then other companies could in theory also make it but would have to sell it under a different name. I do believe steck has been around for 20+years, correct me if I am wrong. The Lego Group is having a hard time with these issues
-
Well here is my wishlist....the things that I would buy at least one of.......
tent from 3413
pony sleigh from 3391
igloo from 3465
city car from 3211 (in blue)
lamp post from 5340
car from 3708 (in taxi yellow!)
Albino elephant from 3809
seaplane from 3866
van from 4401 (in plain white)
car from 4223 (in dark green or black)
tank carriage either 4107 or 4108
flat bed carriage 4106
-
i would like to see a roller coaster back .. maybe with an addon to make some awesome tracks! its great to create a theme park .. etc..

5705 - The Fire Rescue Starter Set http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/catalogue.html (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/catalogue.html)as there's not a lot of point in having fire vehicles if you haven't got any fires to attend to
3604 - Santa's Magic Sleigh http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3604.htm (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3604.htm) to appear in the catalogue every year (without the angel!). I reckon it's a good marketing idea anyway as I know of several of Isaac's friends who have got into Playmobil via the Nativity Manger being the first Playmobil purchase (as a family item which gets brought out year after year).
And to go with the Magic Sleigh extra reindeer and extra harnesses because there were allegedly eight plus Rudolph (with or without flashing nose :lol: :lol:)
This year is the first year I have seen a proper St Nicholas in the Christmas collection. I also feel this should crop up year after year in future too.
Not quite what this thread was about, but not only am I thinking about what I would like to see, I am thinking of missed opportunities on the part of Playmobil.

the old school bus would be intressting too.. the US and the Antex version.
-
Don't forget 7011 (?) I think three of us have asked for the wildebeest. I'd really love to see that one again!
-
I'd like to add the 3631. :)
As we were discussing in the pilot group, a 3 set of these guys would be cool! :yup:
-
I gave this some more thought last night (of course) so my choices are:
3055 Schooner
5723 Viking Longship
4577 Royal Guard (I would buy these is George quantities)
A 3 pack of Bluecoats (enlisted only, no officer)
-
Ok added to the list are....
3526
7011 (i know you asked, i just needed to find the set #'s)

Yes I am sure many of us who never collected in the past would also :high5:
But when enough time goes by we will only get to vote on 10
I was thinking maybe we should have this as a 2 phase vote system seeing as there are now 86 choices .
First round will be of the top 30-ish
Second round of voting will be the final top 10
any suggestion/comments ?

I will see what I can do. I know it really helps to see the set rather than just a # but there is a lot of sets on these types of lists. I may, time permitting, have each set # a link and after it have a brief description of the set (similar to how people are putting forth their choices... 3055 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3055) Schooner)
I can not recall exactly how we organized the pilot vote but it was very similar but under a lot of time pressure

how many choices do you think we should have to vote? maybe up to 10 among eighty somehting is ok, right?

Yes I propose...
each person get to initially vote on 10 from the big list
then we will narrow it down to the top 30-ish ( I say ish because of ties)
the 2nd round will be everyone gets to re-vote from the short list with 10 choices again
The reason I propose two votes is I found that there will be a lot of ties on the initial vote.
but I want input so we again do not have complaints about how these things go ;D I hate politics

PlaymoDB List - The list of desired re-issues so far (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl?setlist=3055,3211,3215,3216,3217,3224,3233,3253,3254,3348,3391,3413,3430,3433,3440,3442,3444,3445,3448,3449,3455,3465,3487,3525,3530,3540,3551,3604,3626,3627,3628,3652,3708,3723,3733,3740,3767,3770,3787,3789,3809,3866,3891,3958,4034,4052,4054,4101,4102,4106,4108,4109,4110,4120,4122,4201,4223,4300,4301,4305,4401,4508,4577,5340,5551,5705,7029,7096,3843,7175,7400,7420,7505,7520,7550,7558;title=Your%20Set%20List)
:doh: :wall: of all people to forget this great feature :lol: I had a major, I need to puke, migraine last night and it must be the hang over :-[
-
Yes I am sure many of us who never collected in the past would also :high5:
But when enough time goes by we will only get to vote on 10
I was thinking maybe we should have this as a 2 phase vote system seeing as there are now 86 choices .
First round will be of the top 30-ish
Second round of voting will be the final top 10
any suggestion/comments ?
yes, probably the easiest way to go about...

maybe Playmboil should release a theme in the regular catalog called 'The Come Back' or something like that, relaunching an old theme and having available for collectors for one year - then again every year they could change the theme (2012 Western, 2013 Trains, etc) - maybe I'm dreaming too much... :P
I definately would love victorian lamposts and benches, and most of what's been mentioned in this thread
Wildebeests (Gnus)
The thingy to carry two buckets with (3487 (http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3487.htm)))

Gis and Bonnie are going to hate me:

:omg: :omg: :omg:
so you are the one who is always beating me to the bucket carrying thingies!!!! :hmm:
Very impressive Luis!!! Congrats!!! :love:
-
lol thanks Panos
i actually got them in my first playmobil years as a collector (2001-2004) and some in Germany - I'm not beating anyone, at least not now :P :P :P

Ras, the system sounds great to me, a narrowing down vote, and then a second one. I had a rip-roaring migraine yesterday too, BTW, so I totally sympathize.

What the :o I am still after many years of looking wanting some of those shoulder bucket carrying thingies :'( I dont hate you I am just sending over someone to steal some :lol:
The wilderbeast reminds me of the Highway86 exhibit at Expo 86 in Canada

yeah, they work hard - they're my muses ;) :P
It's a good thing I actually stopped collecting for like 4 years - otherwise I would've kept looking for more 8}
Bonnie, I guess the gnus/wildebeests were discontinued because I don't think kids find them to be pretty-looking animals - only adult animal lovers seem to like them ???
Ras, what's the 86 expo?
-
yeah, they work hard - they're my muses ;) :P
Well I too would be amused ;D
Ras, what's the 86 expo?
1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expo_86)
The highway was odd, but I was only a kid at the time
Expo Highway 86 (http://www.google.com/search?q=expo+highway+86&hl=en&prmd=ivnsm&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=qj7ATcmlE7LKiAKzlN2IAw&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CAQQ_AUoAQ&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=)

I think they were ahead of their time with producing the wildebeests. Not too many people had heard of wildebeests back then. probably the only reason they did them was because they had already been in Lion King. But they get so much more publicity now, a lot of documentaries showing the massive migrations, plus they've been in a lot more kids movies since, so I think if they brought them back now, especially if they were printed, they would be a lot more popular.

What? Gnu/wildebeest only known because of their television and film appearances? I'd be rolling on the floor laughing if I hadn't thought you were serious, Bonnie. I'll put it down to your age (and the fact that I've never seen Lion King)!! Anyway, bring 'em all back, I say. Every animal that Playmobil has produced. Beats me why they discontinue certain things which are totally timeless such as certain animals, some of the Christmas stuff, and a vital "house on fire". Likewise the railway stuff, although I suppose there has to be a cost consideration there (and a consideration of space in the purchaser's home). I can understand why some children may be less interested in Romans or Egyptians, or Mediaeval themes, as certainly in the UK most of those topics are not covered in schools for the age groups that Playmobil is aimed at (well, here they are touched on but they are normally secondary school subjects). Pirates will always be timeless because of Peter Pan, and somehow little boys latch on to knights too (probably because a lot of princes are knights). Knights are usually seen as hereoes, and all little boys want to save the day somehow.
It will be very interesting to see the result of the poll as not only will it produce a list of what we want to see brought back, it will also be a good reflection of our collecting habits and interests.
PS Bonnie, if you've never heard it, try and track down the song "I'm a Gnu" by Flanders & Swann. Likewise the Hippopotamus Song but you probably do know that.

Fun!!
Seriously , the entire Victorian collection. The prices on ebay are ridiculoulsy high so there is clearly a demand.
I would love to see these back as well:

Ok so far we have DB list in pictures (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl?setlist=3055%0D%0A3170%0D%0A3211%0D%0A3215%0D%0A3216%0D%0A3217%0D%0A3224%0D%0A3233%0D%0A3253%0D%0A3254%0D%0A3348%0D%0A3391%0D%0A3413%0D%0A3430%0D%0A3433%0D%0A3440%0D%0A3442%0D%0A3444%0D%0A3445%0D%0A3448%0D%0A3449%0D%0A3455%0D%0A3465%0D%0A3487%0D%0A3525%0D%0A3526%0D%0A3530%0D%0A3540%0D%0A3551%0D%0A3604%0D%0A3626%0D%0A3627%0D%0A3628%0D%0A3631%0D%0A3652%0D%0A3695%0D%0A3708%0D%0A3723%0D%0A3728%0D%0A3733%0D%0A3740%0D%0A3767%0D%0A3770%0D%0A3771%0D%0A3787%0D%0A3789%0D%0A3809%0D%0A3836%0D%0A3838%0D%0A3839%0D%0A3866%0D%0A3891%0D%0A3896%0D%0A3897%0D%0A3958%0D%0A4034%0D%0A4052%0D%0A4054%0D%0A4101%0D%0A4102%0D%0A4106%0D%0A4108%0D%0A4109%0D%0A4110%0D%0A4120%0D%0A4122%0D%0A4146%0D%0A4201%0D%0A4223%0D%0A4300%0D%0A4301%0D%0A4305%0D%0A4401%0D%0A4508%0D%0A4577%0D%0A5340%0D%0A5551%0D%0A5705%0D%0A5723%0D%0A7011%0D%0A7029%0D%0A7096%0D%0A7175%0D%0A7400%0D%0A7420%0D%0A7505%0D%0A7520%0D%0A7550%0D%0A7558&title=Your+Set+List&pics=on)
I will need to edit the list as there are some duplicates, currently available sets & we need to figure how to address the fact that the trains are doubled up (4034 & 4054)

Need # for
bluecoats
-
Oh yes, the forest ghost and this other one as well:
I can only imagine setting up the new princess castle from Playmobil (hope it gets in the US soon) and a magic forest surrounding it!! Come on Playmobil!!! Bring these back!!
(http://playmodb.org/setthumbs/3/3933_thumb.jpg) (http://playmodb.org/setthumbs/3/3898_thumb.jpg)
-
the magic theme would be really great to be re-released!!!
-
Are these the bluecoats?
http://www.playmodb.org/setpics/3546.jpg
-
I no longer have access to the pilot info but from my recollection the pilot did not nearly pick as many modern or recently discontinued sets :hmm: interesting :eh?:
I will add 3933 & 3898 when more are submitted ;)
Are these the bluecoats?
http://www.playmodb.org/setpics/3546.jpg
no they are I think this guy (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-8980) we end up with way too many offices and not enough troops so this is why people want a 3 pack of soldiers only, like they do for the red coats etc....
-
Are these the bluecoats?
http://www.playmodb.org/setpics/3546.jpg
I believe this guy will do better than anyone else for a blue coat: 30 00 4070 - Worker in circus uniform (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-4070)
I used them to create the following customs... perhaps playmobic can produce something like them! ;D
-
@alison: :lol: I know, it sounds funny to talk about gnus like some kind of celebrities! :lol: but I was thinking along the lines of whether the average child would recognize them. I spend a lot of time in zoos, and you would be horrified at how little some kids, (and their parents) don't know about animals!
-
the other thing we need to discuss is the poll itself
Do we...
Run the poll for days. (leave blank for no limit) we need it to end but how many days?
Allow user to change vote ? yes/no
Show the poll's results to anyone ?
Only show the results after someone has voted ? only pick one
Only show the results after the poll has expired ?
-

You're right...that's really horrible. I can't remember how often i stood in front of the koalas at Zoo Duisburg when some parents told their kids that these "sweeeeeeeet pandas from from australia only eat bamboo" :uhoh:

@ ras: I would say two weeks, yes you can change the vote, and can see results. IMO.

how about releasing the 4085 train set worldwide!
http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4085 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4085)

Since PM released the magic theme in the early 90's this theme has been updated at least three times with some gap years in between: first it was all those sets with wizards and arabic details, then came out the gnomes with brand new forest creatures and finally the only-fairy line (all of them with wigs) - I wouldn't say that that theme is completely discontinued because we still see a lot of fairies as Specials or in the easter eggs...maybe the designers are just taking a break before releasing new magic themed sets (I've always considered the magic castles a separate theme, even though they're pretty compatible)
You're right...that's really horrible. I can't remember how often i stood in front of the koalas at Zoo Duisburg when some parents told their kids that these "sweeeeeeeet pandas from from australia only eat bamboo" :uhoh:
omg that reminds me that every person who's unfamiliar with gnus say "oh look at that horse-looking animal with horns!" :hmm:
-
Or this one (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30 00 8960)
is the only difference the pants ?
WE still need a set # for the poll and I think 5787 is not it as it has 2 offices and 1 soldier which only increases the problem
OR we use 5787 with a * stating it is only to be a soldier 3 pack

Oh you had to remind me of how pissed off I am about not getting this great set. I prefer it to not be RC, cant stand batteries. I wanted the gray crane along with the two you mentioned. I will add it to the list ;)
-
One time I was looking at a baby snow leopard and the keeper said that her parents were in an exhibit near the tigers. I heard some guy say, in all seriousness, "oh,her parents are tigers. Thats cool!" :lol: the zookeeper actually managed to keep a straignt face while explaining it again, this time more slowly. ;)

all these stories remind me of why I wear earplugs in public ;D

:lol: not a bad idea!
-
Wow, I have just had a look at the picture list - what a great selection. Never seen the houseboat before - I want one?! Glad to see that I actually have a few of those other things on the list already :)
I forgot to add one item that I was talking about to my husband only yesterday. Pretty please, is it too late to add it to the list. The 4420 Off Road Truck. Most important.
A rally car (3524) and a tow truck (3438) also feature on the wish list, so if I'm not too late can they be added, Pleeeeeeeeeease?
-
I thought about something...what if Playmobil re-released older specials in packs of five.
For example, fairy/magic theme:
4520 Fairy
4526 Fairy Tale Princess
4530 Enchantress
4550 Midnight Witch
4579 Spirit
sports:
4509 Tennis Player
4513 Ice Hockey Player
4606 Golfer
4635 Football Player
5789 Baseball Player (US exclusive)
-
There is plenty of time this time. I will give a week or so, so everyone has time to add to the add on list. 8} :P
-
Just think if our suggestions come true! :woohoo:
-
now... some of the mention itmes are not complete sets... will they appear as sets or by item number? like the lampost or the victorian bench... ???
-
the piano and the 5300 in pink! that would be cool!
-
the 5300 in PINK????? :0 :0 :0 :0 :0 :0
-
the piano and the 5300 in pink! that would be cool!
OMG! Really? :omg:
-
The items picked should reflect how Geobra presents other add-ons from the DS catalog. It is quite rare for them to have add-ons as full sets. Usually the set that even come with Klickies are stock reduction items. There are a few classic edition sets that have klickies but this is not for that purpose but re-released items similar to the Tudor houses, victorian fence etc......
-
How about something that has not been released yet - for the soldiers collectors among us: a realistic grenadier hat, or for the Steck guys: a corner roof and for the sailors: a new ship with 3 masts...
There are so many more things than the old stuff - I'd rather see something completely new.
Cheers,
HDL
-
We should start another thread for new stuff we want... well, there have been several threads like that before, but specifically, "what new items would you like to see as direct service items/add-ons?"

yeah , i woulkd buy 3

Everythign that has been mentioned so far, Steck on top of the agenda , 4 way connector a much awaited part from all playmo funs , more steck parts, small western DS house is a must for me for building western cities
http://playmodb.org/setpics/7146.jpg
also the western station, school and western cannon. God, playmobil needs to bring back western !!!!

Yes the only difference is the pants. I think the white pants will sell better because it is easier for people who custom Napoleonics to use for historically accurate French infantry. Unfortunately no one set ever had the "correct" amount of soldiers. 3288 (or 3112) was closest with 2 soldiers and 1 officer.
One last thing I saw mentioned above the western cannon. Similar to 3784 without the klickies.
-
yeah , i woulkd buy 3
Well,...to each his own! ;D Although I don't fore see Playmobil being like Burger King's moto "Have it your way!" ;)
-
God, playmobil needs to bring back western !!!!
PM needs to bring back all the old stuff :)
-
There should probably be several sections.
1) Rerelease sets without figures (ie the bakery)
2) Rerelease accessories (ie the barrel)
3) Rerelease (or corelease) items in a different colour (ie olde timer car that's now going to be in green)
4) Rerelease sets (with figures) (ie the "collectors" edition vehicles at the back of the DS catalogues lately)
5) New release accessories (ie Napoleonic hats, etc)
Can anyone think of any more/different/varied categories?
-
anything victorian, but especially the victorian hat stand set
wildebeasts
the animal paradise set #4095
fairies
old circus sets

Depending on how many they manufactured, how many of us would get a chance to buy them before they sold out??!! :lol:

Did some one say something ? ;D
Ok how about a set # if you want them on the list
-
There are items that seem to pose a voting problem.
4034 & 4054 are the same train
3740 & 3055 are the same ship
do you see any more ?
Then there are about half a dozen sets that are currently still available
The duplicates should be edited as the votes will be diluted but the current ones, well we could just leave them. It would not be realistic for Geobra to release a set in DS one year after it was discontinued but we could let the vote be the judge of that.
-

Are they still available in all countries, however? Or indeed, were some of them even released in all of the countries represented by our members?

3708 just got booted off of DS
3866 is an add-on DS item
4146 is still a normal set
4223 is still a normal set
4635 will be a future set
5360 is a DS set
7146 just got booted off of DS
There are a lot that were on DS one or two years ago.

Gosh, you know your stuff. But then, you've got most of it ;)
By DS, are we referring to the little catalogue the comes in the middle of the big one and/or "accessories" section of the the Playmobil website. Is the DS stuff the same in every country (although perhaps a year adrift of Germany)? I have just bought 3708 from DS last Thursday (no people, just the car as 7844), yes you're right 3866 is 7450 in the add on catalogue here, 4146 is a new set here, 4223 is an add-on, is 4635 one of the ones in the Lucky Dip bags? I am surprised about 5360 being DS - is that not the one that goes for millions on EBay??!! I don't think I have ever noticed 7146. When the boy is up and about in the morning I'll look through the old catalogues as he keeps them close!!!!!!
-
I want the Civil War cannon rereleased. I want a few. Not trying to recreate Bull Run or anything, just maybe five or so for some small scale battles. I have zillions of the pirate cannons but the bigger wheeled cannon is really hard to get in the secondary market. All of the sets this gun is in usually sell for alot of dough.

Yes DS or Direct Serice is also called Add-Ons.
No every Geobra web sites have the same things. Some do get the production delay you refer too and some times a site will find a stash out of a mysterious hole. I have seen old western steck sets just show up one day for "best buy" and in Canada the old 5300 extension all of a sudden showed up¿
Yes 4635 is an American football player, not the exact same colors but still usable and hopefully he will not fall apart when tackled ;) the burning football print has to go though
5360 was re-released in the new color as 7477. It did and MIB still goes for a lot but the price seems to be dropping as we can now get the 7477
7146 was recently dropped from DS and I still see it in stores that carry bags. I was able to get as many as my pocket could handle
-
Ok here is the final call for the voting list. Please check it over as I will tonight be building the long poll 8} I only combined the Schooner and Steam train and I left all the others as we will let the voting decide. If you see any others that are duplicated please let me know

It looks great to me. 4146 is still an available set though, and fairly new.

In post #120 I listed a few of the others but I figured we would let the vote sort them out. I do not want to offend people with telling them that this and that was just on DS or still is. I figure the majority of voters will ultimately decide what they want and have a hard time finding readily available from used sales at decent prices.
If more people want me to sort out the items I can, we will just have to figure how and what.
-
No, you're right. It's probably better to leave them. The ones that are that available will be eliminated in the first round, I'm sure.
-
The main thing I am trying to sort out is duplicates. If there are two Nuremberg guard sets then the votes will be diluted. Individually they will have a low vote count but combined they may have a high count. I want to avoid arguments of such nature after the vote is closed and counted.
and speaking of the guards, George I never got a set number so I had to pick one for you.
-
I don't see any duplicates. How many votes do we get again? I can see about 15 I want to vote for!
-
Do you mind adding 3944 (druid), 7253 (crystal cage) and 3006 (forest animals)?
There is also 4056 (a large fairy/unicorn set); I think it was an exclusive from a store in Germany.
-
Probably too late, if not 3825 (farm girl and geese)? :-[
-
god i always talk about but havent officially mentioned it here !!!!
NUREMBERG GUARDS - 3482 !!!!
