Title: 5890 carrying case
Post by: Wolf Knight on May 27, 2010, 17:41:07
Hi all,

I pass by a toy store today I was surprised to see this on the front!!!

(http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/6/5/27/baldthar/f_grpn4kalm_61f70ce.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

At first I thought ''I think I have enough dragon knights....'' But then i saw the price!!! Ten euros!!! I thought it was cheap...

I asked the manager how come he had these since they are sold only in the US...Well, playmobil is known to bring a few from time to time with various retailers....

So I took it back home and....

 (http://img37.imagefra.me/img/img37/6/5/27/baldthar/f_grpn4kanm_5cc81de.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

Its total red!!! Both sides are red!!!! No see through plastic, no visor!!! You cannot see the contents when it is carried around!!! Oh goody!!! I can carry my favourite playmobil around and no one will give me the weird looks!!! Plus it has loads of accessories...Is the 10 euros worth it? ....

Then, as I started looking inside i saw this!!!!

(http://img38.imagefra.me/img/img38/6/5/27/baldthar/f_grpn4kapm_94ef6fb.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)

Yes its a sticker!!! I was even more happy for a strange reason!!!

I missed no time and placed it on the case...

I now think this was not a good idea...people at work will understand that I am not carrying my lunch in there!!!

I still have not decided on the ten euros but I liked the exitement!!!!

 :lol: That is a good looking set for the price, and I like that case a lot - much better than the see through ones.
And it comes with a sticker too! ;D

Are there any of these opaque carry case sets in modern theme? (not that I would be able to get one very easily) :(

There was a police one   5891 - Police Duo Carrying Case (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5891) and one for the fairy tale castle theme  5892 - Fairytale Princess Carrying Case (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5892)  I also thought there was a rescue one but I was probably mistaken... But there is a pirate one!!! 5894 - Pirates Duo Carrying Case (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5894)

Thanks Panos :)

The police one is dissapointing as it just appears to be a re-issue of old parts and not much new. Although I do like the look of the fairytale princess one a lot :-[

No problem Damo!!

The princess is indeed a good klicky and loads of great accessories!!! She is also a re-issue of the 4258 royal carriage bride..

I managed to get all except 5893 - Pony Riders Carrying Case (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5893), and the others are entered into PlaymoDB under their respective themes as Wolf Knight has so helpfully linked. If anyone picks up the ponies, please share what's inside.

I have picked up three of those so far. I love the horse armour. The police case is where I got parts for my biker custom.

Ten Euros is good value, but I'd prefer the same contents without the carry case for seven.

Nevertheless, I have bought about ten of the red case ;D

Nice review Wolf Knight,

i bought two of the farmer cases, for the tools, baskets etc for my medieval collection. The cases are nice storage for really small pieces like cuffs, jewellery, coins etc.

Thanks for the review, Panos.  I must say that I prefer the other case design with the clear front and the division into partitions.

That is true Gordon!!! When you have a huge amount of accessories you really want to know ehre they are...and the small compartments are more helpfull for that job!!!
