Thanks for this, Michael.   :wave:  There are some interesting items there, especially the refuse wagon.  Hopefully, I will be able to get some new stickers from DS for my old one.

This is such exciting news! (not that I collect victorian) :-[

I bet the price of old ones will go down, or people will sell the new one in the old packaging to make money >:D

great news, although I really wish they could re release the park fence in its original color rather than the yellow...still, it's nice to see that it has made a return.

Where is this available?  Normally the DS catalogue is out the end of May (here in Germany).  I've looked online, but haven't found anything new.  I'm anxious to see what else is making a comeback (and also what is being taken out).

I thought it was the original colour :lens: but I suppose it would make sense if it were different from the original in someway to differentiate the two ;)

Is it yellow? I can't tell on this monitor.

That was the first thing I wondered when I saw it. That would be a slight negative for me as I prefer the original beige, but if the railings are the same as the old one it will be helpful for people who were missing gate parts, latches, etc. to order replacements. :)

It looks like there is a possibility for more customizing now!  :D
I am definitely surprised at the reissue of this. I did not think it would happen.

Thanks Mac for sharing this.

I don't see anything in these pictures to suggest the new castles are SystemX, but I do see clip holes identical to those seen in the Lighthouse and Dragon Land castles. It's good that there will be add-on sections, and this does suggest that a certain amount of customisation will be possible.

it's like the new dollhouse 5301, to match that set, and the wedding pavillion (also yellow).

I like the North American animal set, mainly for the bald eagle.  He's not exactly easy to come by bieng only in a couple sets.  Oooh, and the trike with the hippy/biker couple.   ;D

Oh they usually do lots of similar things...its to give people who love the older sets the opportunity to get more and continue paying more...

Yes they do, and it is my fear that if and when a Playmobil Collector Club is started, this is what may happen.....it may not, but I do wonder.

This is rather sad, as I really find the yellow color of the house/pavillion and new park fence off putting.....they had made the older victorian sets well, with a touch of "realism", and these yellow buildings just make things more fisher price like. 

Arrrg!

Totally agree with you there playmomac...Plus the fact that the pavilion is sold seperate from the dollhouse itself....its a bit... ::) ::) ::)

You could be right about the clip system, Martin, but at least they look to be somewhat expandable and customizable.

... the sets from playmobil's new 2010 "ergänzungen & zubehör" catalogue are now online - http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=DS_ARTIKEL... finally a sharp look is possible at sets like the:
- 7518 roter korsarensegler (nothing really new, it's a bare hull);
- 7531 kapitän der piraten (slightly new, just like the one in the 5814 blister with an extra feather in his hat and a different swotd)
- 7482 grosses und kleines gespenst (a real noveltie with a new - i think - child ghost)...

... also the 7994 exotische vögel (i will want one - being so "piratical" in its ambience)
and the 7998 pottwal (a not new sperm whale - meaning cachalote in english - with the same anatomical errors like the lower jaw).
check it out, there is one almost for every taste.

Hello

Thank you Mac Gayver for the news, Heather for the list and Cachalote for the update. The old sets coming back are always a welcome sight even with the choices of tones and other such details. I for one have always wanted a few dozen fences for our western mansion layout. There was no way I was going to pay $200 for broken sets. The other sets are welcome as well and I do look forward to add on animals of any kind.

Hello

Thank you Cachalote & Mac Gayver it is nice to finally have my DSL up and humming. It looks like I missed some great news with the release of the classic park fence and other new classic sets. With all the talk/begging going on for years for Playmobil to bring the fence back it makes me wonder if they threw us a bone ??? I mean really how many kids are really interested in a fence  :hmm: I am very glad to see them and will surely be getting loads of them as to not be an idiot and miss the opportunity while it is there for $20-ish.

The ghost kid is a bit weird as it represents the spirit of the dead and in this case a dead kid  :'( I like it and will be getting some of course but it is still a little weird

The romans really must have sold poorly as playmobil broke down the sets and is selling them as add-ons  :eh?:

Just to stay on topic, I also plan to get some of the DS fences - Emma's use of "stone paint" (on her Nelson column) has given me an idea about those unfortunate yellow posts.  8-)

Hello  :wave:

The yellow tone does not bother me at all as a simple paint job is all it need to have it any color you want. It must have been made for the 3rd (aka 5302) Victorian house as the 2nd (aka 5301) one is discontinued. I have not seen the 5302 yet but it looks like the same color. I know how much we all like the dreary tan tone of the 5300 and how real it looks but this is a toy that need marketability.

Hi

The fence is such a small ticket item and is easy to absorb the finical loss if it does not sell. The investment Playmobil would have to make re-releasing the 5300 is considerably higher and would not be as easy to swallow if it did not sell. If they are throwing us a bone it will have to be small ones  :lol: but i sure would not complain if they threw us a large one with a little meat on it  ;)

I like the Motor-Trike as well and will be getting more of them as well. I have a few now but have never wanted to paint any due to its rarity. Oh here comes the saw and paints  :rainbow:
