Title: 4893 - Sinterklaas en Zwarte piet
Post by: Gis on May 19, 2010, 07:21:26
Hey All,

I am unsure if this is the correct Thread for this but I thought this needed to be out here (If this is the wrong thread please let me know where to go, maybe this is old information then sorry for wasting the bandwith)

The Dutch have a gift giving opportunity in December different from Christmas (we have that too). It's the celebration of St Nicholas' birthday on the 5th of December (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas).

They have decided to make a special set for this (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-NL-Site/nl_NL/Product-Detail?pid=4893&cgid=) and I was wondering if this will be available world wide. I quickly checked what results playmobil.de came up when typing the set number and it couldnt be found where as on.nl it takes you straight to the set.

I haven't gotten my hands on this yet so I can't do an official set review but thought that this existence of this set should be know.

If anyone is interested and can't find a way to buy them online or something let me know and I am sure we'll be able to find a solution once this is on the market.

Wow - that is a beautiful set. :love:

I can see that Sinterklaas' hat is going to be very useful for customizers. It's the first time I've seen one shaped like that! 8-)

The longer style of jacket throws up many possibilities too.

Thanks for posting the news and pic! :)

Sylvia, you are definitely right about the possibilities of this jacket. But it has been out in at least one set before:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B002G5U22S

There is a special pirate in this limited edition of the game and this pirate is already wearing santas jacket.
Or santa clause is wearing a pirates jacket?  ??? ::)

Nice set and good to know. I definitely need to get one! :)
Thanks for sharing!  :wave:

I don't think so playmo1989. The estimate is that it will be in the shops in the fall. We will have to wait a little longer I am afraid :-(

I really love that they made this one. The kids are really going to enjoy it as well :-)

Hey Bogro! Sounds like we should make a little "swapping arrangement" later this year!  O0
(I see angels and zwarte piets are flying through midair...  8}  :lol:)

I'd really love to get one of these too, as it's very useful for customs.  I wonder if parts of the horse barding are actually painted gold or if it's a photoshop job that is not accurate?  If so, I think it would be the first painting of this part.

The Dutch have a gift giving opportunity in December different from Christmas (we have that too). It's the celebration of St Nicholas' birthday on the 5th of December

Does this mean you get presents on both day - twice as many blue boxes?  :gift:  :(o): :gift:

I really love this and the other sets that are being introduced for Christmas - they all have lots of play value!
