Title: New High Performance Sports Theme!
Post by: reimagination on January 11, 2012, 03:59:05
So okay okay okay. Bah! I'm so excited! So I went to the playmo website, and I'm sure this is all old news to you guys, but I saw the new High Performance Sports theme, and I'm not a big sports fan at all so I don't know why, but I'm totally excited about these. And I have to wait 'til May? boo! How is that fair?!

I NEED NEED NEED

5195 Fencers
5196 Swimmer

and I'm also very interested in 5199 weightlifter and 5188 beach volleyball

Why/ I don't know. It's weird, hunh? BUT I'm super excited.

Is anyone else super excited, or am I lone weirdo? (Don't answer the second part)

You're not alone! I'm really excited about these too! I'm hoping that they will be sold at the olympics, as it would be great marketing for playmobil.

The gymnastics sets are my favorites, but I want the whole theme! Oh, and I LOVE the fencers. What's really cool, is the individuals are 3.49, the sets with two are 4.99, so it's really affordable. There's no big sets, so to buy the whole theme will only cost around $65. :)

I love the designs of the new sports theme characters! Lots of really cool features. Hope that they reach us soon!  :wave:

I only spotted these sets a couple of days ago on the official website.
Think they are fantastic - my favourite is the beach volleyball. 8-)

I'm curious about them... A very poor choice for the Figures line, but quite interesting as a theme... Will want them all, a few in duplicates.. (no sense)

Great idea for a fencing school! How about an Olympic training center! Gotta get those jocks primed for London summer Olympics! :love:

Not weird at all. I am very excited for this theme, and would love the swimmer too. We have to wait till June in Canada to get them in toy stores! :'(

This is a very exciting theme,my hope is that kids will see them and question parents to explain the details of the sport. :P

More parent involvement, less couch potato kids  :D

I'm totally no sportsfan, so this theme doesn't do it for me. Still will buy some, but not a lot. Saves some money ;)

I thought it was a cool theme, I like the execution but will probably not buy any; just not my theme.  Maybe I will get the competitive shooter and judo set once they show up in stores.

I do really like the new yellow lion knights and the medieval bakery. I might get some of those in the future.

These are very tempting to collect! Just some more things to add to my want list now! ;D

That list just grows and grows, doesn't it? At least these are fairly inexpensive.

Must say the hammer from the 5200 and the javelin from the 5201 look potentially interesting.

Those are both on my "must buy" list!! The hammer thrower is especially brilliant. Can hardly wait until May. :lol:
