This is a review of the new version ice cream cart. It has a few new features that are interesting. First the box pictures:

Instead of having an umbrella like the old cart does, this one has a giant sign that fits into the hole. Seems a bit less practical... it would be difficult to drive with the sign in place, unless it folds down somehow, and the shade of an umbrella would be nice on a hot summer day.

Here are the ice cream flavors. I believe the lime color is new in this form... there have been cups of ice cream in this color, but no tub that I know of. The dark raspberry is a lovely color, looks tasty!

I like this new feature... it's a pole that allows extra cones to be stacked on the cart.

Three extra cones that are included.

And here it is with stickers and people. The klickys are all repeats/reworks from other sets, no new parts. I love that the dark raspberry-colored ice cream comes in a cone also.
All in all a nice little set, for only $10. It feels the same quality as the old set, except for one issue... I can't get the lid over the ice cream to close all the way. I think there's a bit of plastic that needs to be filed down, so I'll see if that works. I'm happy with it, especially since I am going to customize it!

Thanks for reviewing! Looks like a lovely set :love:
-
Thanks for the refreshing review, Bonnie (we should have an ice cream smiley) ;D
-
no "horse" flavored ice cream this time :lol:
-
What, no chocolate? :D
They must be using too much of it for the new riding stables series.
-
A cute set... And a nice use for an antenna.
But.. no chocolate?! That should be FORBIDDEN.
-
The cart in my zoo will definitely be selling chocolate. ;D
-
Nice pics! Thanks for the review.

Good. Or it would be.... unnatural.
;D

Thanks for a very useful review, Bonnie. I have the DS ice cream cart and I'll add the antenna to it for extra cones, and maybe (when they are available), get some more flavoured ice cream. When you have a moment, if you would post the part number for the lime and the raspberry ice cream, I'd be grateful.)
The new sign certainly is a negative point; when I saw the first pictures in Barom Marshall's thread, I thought the sign was actually three balloons!
-
aaaawwww this is such a cute set!
I would have liked the cart in another color though... ;D
-
Yes, it is very pink! It's not really a Barbie pink, though... it's darker and to me doesn't look all that bad. It doesn't scream girly like some shades of pink.
Gordon, the lime ice cream is 30 23 5032 and the magenta is 30 23 5022. This set is inventoried on playmodb.

I like the colour-I think it's good to have two different colours if they are going in the same display.
I like the new cone stacking method too, but I'm not a fan of that huge sign. :hmm:
A detailed review that makes me really want to get this set. ;D
Thanks,
Verity

Thanks, Bonnie. I didn'tthink of looking on Heather's site with the set being so new.
-
I was very surprised to see it there, too! Heather's on top of things. Looks like the instructions are available on the playmobil website, which I would never have guessed.

without the umbrella those ice creams will melt more quickly
thanks for another review, Bonnie - i love all about this set, i'm glad the figures aren't repeats from other sets (right?)
-
Well, they are in a way. All the parts are repeats. THere was a man from the old modern house theme with that shirt, and the pants he's wearing have been used on a woman before.... can't seem to find her in the data base, though, and can't remember what she came with. And both the kids' torsos are ones I already have.
Here's the guy with the shirt: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-9890
