Interesting, hopefully it will show up elsewhere as well - maybe as an add-on some time?

I'm really not that interested in the rest of the set... System WHY, right?

But that troll :love:

For once... I agree! I want a pink troll! :P

The building looks like the gate of 6000, but with better doors.

We can share, Tahra - I am interested in the set, but am more than happy to see this barbecue Troll off to Portugal! PM me if this is what you want to do. I don't think the set is released yet, though.

Spare us!  :uhoh:

It's the exact same troll, in another colour. That's a bit too similar for me.

That is why I need a couple...

Silly that they all have the exact same armor sculpt...  ::)

It is not available yet. I called them and they told me it will come out in June.
At least for Greece.

Seems they are trolling us by using that same armor design for the trolls. :)

I think this is available now...

Is there any playmofriend interested in splitting the set? 

I'm really not very keen on paying that much (plus shipping!) for just the troll...  :'(   But I want the barbecue troll.

As discussed, Tahra, I am out of the hunt, unfortunately.  :( I do not see a way of getting the set affordably from Greece to share it with you.

Perhaps there are Playmofriends nearer to the source?

We need the part number for the troll. It might be possible to get it from German DS if we have the number, worth a shot at least.

Agree - even if expensive, it should be better than the full set + shipping...

I only want the troll and (if possible) his weapon..

The problem could be that the troll isn't available as spare part.
There are few sets where main parts can't be ordered separately. But let's hope it is possible.

In a speculation data-scrape, I turned up this part:

PlaymoDB Part Info for "Troll" (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-65-3393)

that isn't the green one (numbered in the instructions for 6004, nor the blue one (in official spare-parts list for 6432). So it must be red. It's 13.50 euro from playmobil.de. http://www.playmobil.de/troll/30653393.html (http://www.playmobil.de/troll/30653393.html). All three trolls are available, at slightly different prices.

There is also a club, different from the club used the green and blue ones - it is PlaymoDB Part Info for "Club for troll, large, with spikes" (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-65-3383). Available at http://www.playmobil.de/keule-troll/30653383.html (http://www.playmobil.de/keule-troll/30653383.html) .

Only the red-brown loincloth has shown up in my searches, numbered separately in 6004. Hopefully the other trolls come complete with clothes.

Anyone with the full set 5670, please get in touch with me about an inventory, since the plans are not downloadable.

Awesome - part numbers found... Though they can't be ordered online...

Since iberia works as we know, if someone is planning to try that on the german site, and doesn't mind adding one (or two) more... please let me know...

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation, StJohn! When you open him, could I have a photo for the DB? I'll add it to 5670 now. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the set is reused parts.

Well, I've already sent them on their way to their final destination without properly unwrapping them! So sorry, sbblabotw. But I trust that some other member might be able to supply a picture in due course.

The word at Klickywelt (http://www.klickywelt.de/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=62809&start=0#p874387/) is that Geobra has meanwhile stopped supplying red trolls through DS, at least in Germany. Some people got lucky, though.

Of course, that's what you should have done. (Unless you were keeping one.) I've cropped the box-photo in the meantime, better than nothing. Anyone else have to photograph for me?

Just resurrecting this old thread from the dead to share my bewilderment about the Geobra design department in their finishing touches to the 5670 Castle Gate with Troll:

(https://media.playmobil.com/i/playmobil/5670_product_detail)

I finally unpacked one and was dumbfounded to find out that the rock formations on either side of the castle facade (where they should go according to the building instruction (http://playmobil.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/5670_buildinginstruction?locale=de-DE,de,*)) are not connected. I mean: they do not hold on to the wall – you have to position them against it! :doh: I know that the box art does indicate so, but was still struck by this sloppy design. The same part (30 20 7323 - Rock formation, small, fits around corner of building (https://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30207323)) does connect nicely to the 5480 Secret Dragon Fort, and similar rocks are fixed tightly to the facade of the 6697 Take Along Black Baron's Castle (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=15341.0). What I mean to say is: these rocks and these walls aren't meant to be together, yet ended up in the same set.
