Title: Brand-new take-along sets
Post by: sbblabotw on March 20, 2015, 18:55:05
A run of PDF snooping led me to these sweeties! No idea about their availability, or anything else, just got the instructions and added them into PlaymoDB.

PlaymoDB List - Take-Along Sets March 2015 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl?setlist=5637,5638,5639,5641;title=Take-Along%20Sets%20March%202015)

One word interests me greatly: ZOMBIE.  Go have a look.

Those are actually pretty cool. I like the Surf Shack one the best, but the knight one is totally useful with a nice forge in it and the Haunted House one is great as well.

Actually on closer inspection it looks like it's meant to be Frankenstein's workshop, although the doctor was not vampiric according to the original tale. No matter. Still looks great.

The surf-shop is something I can actually see in a beach setting  :)
Thanks for the info, Heather!

They look interesting will be good to see some proper photos of the sets I like the look of the surfing one with the new boards and figures and the Knights one could be useful, the Haunted House one could be good as well with Frankenstein although surely they could have used it as an opportunity to do one of the different monsters other than Dracula

The knight one looks good, like it could actually be used as part of an armory. Most take along sets seem useless for any kind of diorama set up.

Just hoping this will be available in Europe too and wont be yet another US exclusive.  :(  Its a bit weird theres more medieval exclusives released there than over here.

That's what I thought too. It doesn't look that bad.

Thank you Heather for bringing these up, they all seem like they have usefull parts. I am really glad to start finally seeing zombies and haunted house ideas making to production. A bat should be right around the corner now.

We will look for all of them in the shop.

Are there pictures for the figures for these sets, and are these going to be US sets?

Found it, thanks. But what is that thing hanging from the wall in the monster set? It looks like an oxygen mask.   I like the surfer set, but I think the female character should have more of a Gidget look to her.

That, and the electrical gadgety-type stuff on the side panels, brought me to the conclusion of "Frankenstein". IT'S ALIVE! MWAHAHAHA!

This fellow (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=k5284b) might have been a better choice than the vampire, though.

While the colors arent too great, its nice that the medieval set includes a civilian. A shame that the included two helmets are bot designs I dont like much though.

I'm anxious to see them in the stores.  The flower shop and surf shop are nice looking.

Good find, Heather!

The klickys are very nice  - well, the vampire is a repeat, or near enough, and the floral ones just the hair.. the others. :)

Let's hope we manage to get our hands on them :)

Aww come on Geobra you can't be serious. A Haunted House with a Vampire and the bats are only stickers on the wall?! What a shame...  :hmm:

Anyway, Heather thank you for the info...  ;)

Yes, he (and his cloak) are the same as the duo-pack vampire, 30 00 2273 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-2273). Although the duo-pack had no plans, the numbers were, at one point, on the spare-parts page at playmobil.fr. So if you missed him the first time round, here's another chance.

Oh, I didn't miss him (though the best part of that duo was the woman's neckpiece  :-[ )..

It's just RIDICULOUS. The use of repeat klickys, I mean. With their means... GAH. (guess NOTHING tops the brand new viking theme when it came out, right?)

I really don't understand the big interest in haunted stuff. Besides being mostly inappropriate for kids, imo (though not half as much as the religious ones).

That said... I do love the greenish klicky :)

Nice find Heather.
I think the knight's one is a perfect…for my daughter. She will love to have this blacksmith and his forge, and the size of the box is cool for short stories on the go!
I want that forge for myself too, so I guess I'm going to need two of those.
And of course, I'm ordering the green zombie from the DS. He will become an orc!!! ;D


***edit: Oh! And water in the bucket! Is that new? So cool! ***

I believe water in buckets appeared with the first fairy bags.

Thanks for the info, very interesting!
Maybe these sets are part of the yet to be announced releases for late this year, december?

Oh my gosh, these are amazing.  I haven't wanted a take along set until just now.  I must have that forge.  It comes with a forge and shelves.  I could use, like, 6 of those.

:'( lego has a forge in the pirates theme.
 :) an essential has-to-be-made-please-geobra-in-the-near-future set.
 :hmm: how can pirates and their enemies use heated shot - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_shot
 ;D even better than a forge would be a furnace.
