New Specials Plus line

[tahra]

I'm really excited about these! And, since we're getting in on the ground floor, it will be easy to collect them all, right from the start.

No no no no no no no!

That was a resolution: if they end the specials, I WILL NOT start buying all of these too!

Don't give me ideas!

I think the red knight is the closet we gonna get to something like an elite emperor guard as in star wars - for some reason the color of these weird knights reminds me of the guards of Emperor Palpatine, and it hat respect they can be very handy indeed .

Playmobil Special PLUS are called before of the very extra accesories they have right ? whats the point of arguing if they have accesories ? sounds a bit nonsense this argument, these are specials with extra accesories by definition and price

[playmofire]

I don't see LOTS of accessories here. Is it just me? I mean, if you look at the archer, there's only the target and the arrow holder thingy, and that's it? And how much will they cost more than the old specials?

Well, you certainly get more than with a Special, although it varies from one Special Plus to another.  As for how much more they will cost, they are an extra 60 euro cents.

That barbarian looks great, archer seems alright but I wonder if the hat is regular blue or dark blue. Those archery targets will be great for developing a training ground though.

Me too! This set with the completely new accessories and the other pizza chef in the Fi?ures range leads me to wonder if we might soon be getting a pizza parlour in the City Life theme...

I just spotted his rolled up/cuffed sleeves. Is that a new arm mold? I'm a bit out of touch on such things.

I wonder if we'll see a pizza delivery truck soon.

I wonder if we'll see a pizza delivery truck soon.

Or even a pedestrian vehicle with a removeable pizza sign on the roof.

Yes, yes ... it's true. But ... ( a big but for me), it's not necessarily extras I want or need In the old days I could buy 10 or 15 specials for army-building, because the price was reasonable, but now, at +60cents a pop, I don't think I'll do it.

But that plus 60 cents is only for the Special Plus; if "normal" Specials continue to be produced, you can still build your forces up with them.

It was said that the classic specials range would be discontinued.

I don't see what the problem is, here.

Boys love building armies ... it's what they do and what they've been doing for decades! Unfortunately there are no sets that make it easier to build armies, and I cannot understand why! If you take a look at the new redcoats, for example, you get most of the klickies in expensive sets ... and the single redcoat with the cannon is still too expensive for army building purposes. Obviously there is DS, but DS is known only to fans. People who pop into a shop rarely know about DS.

Is it so difficult to have a set - a normal, shop-sold set - containing for eg 5 red coats and their commander, like the old one from the early 90s? They would be a bit like Lego Star Wars battlepacks, even though with those, now, they have introduced the concept of 'conflict in a box', meaning that you dont get a set containing for eg 4 stormtroppers and another set containing 4 rebel soldiers, but one set containing 2 troopers and two rebels. The idea being that children wouldnt need to buy two sets to recreate a battle.

99% sure dark blue!
