Thanks for the picture and links andi.  So far, the only item which interests me is the hood on the jeep.  The jeep seems to be a reissue so hopefully the hood will fit the earlier versions and so I can weatherproof the ones I have.

i can see only one set that i like - the new pirate special - although he is really not that fantastic.

 8}
what i am really interested is in knowing what the pirate ship picture form daniela really is - an old custom, an old prototype?
i can't understand a word of german.
please andi, hel me.

 8}
and also, what is the other picture of a ship in the playmo-portal (same thread, on the next page).
is it a new future release?
again, i need help andi.
please.
 :)

YES!!!! New Pirates!

I have been waiting for this for a while - fortunately I have an extra year here in the US to save my money for when these sets become available.

I think the new ship looks interesting, but I think my favorite of all is the new lighthouse. I also like the new kraken and the new pirate crew - with a lady pirate and a bald pirate as well...

2007 is definitely looking up!

Wow!

Look Tim, a lot of new animals (sets)!!!  :yippee: :inlove:  ... is this a baby gorilla in the pet shop?

Has anyone noticed the new style cannonball - a ball on a stick.  Presumably this is for safety reasons as it may be more difficult for a child to swallow.
Title: Re: Novelties 2007 - second half ! (New Pirateship, Circus, Car-Wash...............)
Post by: cachalote on January 27, 2007, 13:35:40
the new cannonballs seem to be the same as in the 4136 set.
customizer showed them in another thread - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1248.15.
mine is on the way.
i think we all have to thank the playclicks guys for all these pictures.
as far as i know they were the first to get them.
 :wow:

The pirate sets are great!  Love the lighthouse.. no noticable recycled parts.  Plus new hair on the front most pirate in 4292 Treasure set.  Secondly, there is a kid in that set... is he bald? or what is going on with him?.. It looks like he has a bandanna type hat with gold hoops attached and a bald head poking out.

A  little dissapointed in some of the other sets because of the abundance of recycled figures (mostly children).  Love all the new animals though!  Very cute elephant set in the circus sets.  Second appearance of the tutu this year.

Very happy at all the new content and at the same time also very worried. 8}


How will Playmobil ever surpass or equal this amazing selection of new sets next time? They have a tough job ahead of them to keep us satisfied. :o

And how will I ever be able to afford everything that I want. It's just not fair!!! :hissyfit:  ;)

That big top is fantastic! I told myself a while ago that I already had enough Circus sets, but I'm becoming increasingly doubtful.... :P

 ???
the lighthouse and the small boat are puzzling me.
(again the pictures come form playclicks).
they seem to historically incompatible with both pirates and medieval knights themes.
they have a maritime connection with the pirates.
they have a formal connection with the knights.
they are 1 / 1,5 century disconnected form both times.
should i consider buying them? i can't make up my mind...

Post by: cachalote on January 28, 2007, 02:22:53
 :)
the lighthouse is really beautiful.
 :wow:
the spanish playcliks guys are very happy with these new sets, considering the "conquistadores" look they seem to have.
one of them was desperate to find an actual spanish flag.
 ???
i wonder if this is the beggining of a new playmobil family?
 ???
maybe they will produce one special vasco da gama, the portuguese sailor who first found the maritime passage from europe to india.
or a special bartomeu dias, another portuguese sailor, the first one to go around the cape of good hope, or pedro álvares cabral, who discoverd brazil.
this way i wouldn't have any doubts buying them...

Or they are going to introduce an Aztec theme (re-issueing some jungle ruin castings ...)  ???

Finally, some cool new sets  ;D Better start saving money in order to buy all those new pirates...

The lighthouse is amazing!! Very versatile use for a lot of themes (if you are not trying to be historically correct). A lot of great animals and cool stuff for CityLife!

But there are at least two setbacks: the new pirate ship has a terrible Fisher-Price-like colour scheme and this stupid cannonball-on-a-stick and there is nothing new for the Romans especially civilian add-ons.
Title: Re: Novelties 2007 - second half ! (New Pirateship, Circus, Car-Wash...............)
Post by: cachalote on January 29, 2007, 00:47:33
i agree with you bogol - the cannonballs in a stick don't seem that nice.
 :(
after a closer look, the pirate ship's colors don't excite me much either.
 :hmm:
there seems to be a contradiction in the evolution of playmobil pirate design - the figures keep getting more sophisticated and "realistic" (moving away from the simple black, yellow, red, green and blue schemes) and the ships seem to go on the opposite direction (moving away from the brown shades of the 3550 and 3750, and loosing even their canvas sails).
 :'(
but there are always positive things - new women pirates in some of the sets...
 :)

Did someone notice that the elephants have changed from African to Asian??
Title: Re: Novelties 2007 - second half ! (New Pirateship, Circus, Car-Wash...............)
Post by: cachalote on January 29, 2007, 15:59:36
the last update - fortunately playclicks (we have to thank them for all these :wow:) have a lot of inside information and spanish is kind of my second language.
the new pirate boat has some ingenious features - cannons that can be disguised and a prow figurehead that conceals a skull.
some of the spanish fans had the oppinion that this could turn a pirate ship into a cargo ship.

Post by: cachalote on January 29, 2007, 16:01:05
... finally, there seems to be a new mould for the arms of one of the pirates in the new ship.

Yes it does look like a new head and ear mold on the baby elephant. More evidence towards an Asian theme in 2008?

All the new sets are on www.playmobil.de now.  The pictures are obviously much better so you can see all the details.  Plus if you click on the pictures it shows all the extra stuff in each set.. like the circus tent is set up with LED lights so it lights up.. plus a trap door in the lighthouse.. etc.

And look here, there seems also a new type of leg mold. The horse is nicely printed with a blanket and has some accessories for the legs.

In the large horse barn there is a new cat mold too - a black walking cat. The pony mold is a new one also.
