Title: New tools in Plumber Special
Post by: Little Jo on February 07, 2006, 08:01:03
Ah  :D, what did my eyes see on this photo (found on the German board (http://www.playmo-portal.com/viewtopic.php?t=7775)): The special does not only include the new suction bell tool, but also a accu drill!!! Very cool  8-)
So Playmobil did read my accu drill customizing article (http://www.jr-x.de/playmobil/customizing/powertools.html#batterydrill)  ;D ... although they obviously have taken the competing tool company (Bosch) as model ... anyway, please, Playmobil, I want the other tools shown on my site too  ;)

It's very possible you have given them some inspiration through the customising pages on your site, Jochen. 8-)

I can just imagine how excited you were when you noticed this new accessory. ;)

Btw, have you seen the hairdryer in the beauty salon (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4413.htm) set? Maybe it could be used as the base for making something else too? (Reminds me a bit of a heat gun used for stripping paint.) The water spray can in that set is quite a nifty little piece too. :)

I think you've influenced things there, Jochen.   Who nows what else they may follow up with.

The hairdryer does, indeed, look like a hot-air paint stripper, meg.

The water spray bottle is also used in some of the garden sets.

Hm  :hmm:, actually I do have the hair dryer and spray bottle, but I never spend a thought on using these for some tool customization. Great idea, thank you Sylvia. They really look useful. (I still want to customize a drill or hammer drill ... well a more heavy duty one than the accu drill)

No problem, Gordon. I'm getting used to it. ;D
Out of all the members at PF, I probably couldn't ask for a nicer person to be mistaken for. ;)

I hadn't spotted that. They're making good use of the new mould then. ;) I wonder if the plunger (the item you called a suction bell tool, Jochen) will find its way to some other sets too. ;D

I've actually been ogling those Garden Nursery sets in the catalogue recently and thinking how nice they look, especially the greenhouse. 8-)

Ah, ok. Hopefully I can memorize this term. It's somehow difficult to find the correct english terms, and me dictionary isn't always very helpful  :( Nevertheless I try to find a most appropriate term. So please help me out, whenever you recognize a more suitable one.

Oh, indeed they are very lovely. Those days they came out here, I saw this set and must have it. (Well, I like [the] flowers, plants, animals ...  :))

I had meant to mail you about this Jo but had forgotten. :(

Those tools are also in light blue in the 5755 Holiday House
Part number 30 51 3750

When I first saw it I remember thinking about you and wondering if it was one that had been available before and I had just missed seeing it.

The tool set has the accu drill, a small handsaw a screwdriver, a mallet, a wrench, and a pliers.

The Holiday House also has a set of kitchen tools that I think are new?
They are in copper color and include a frying pan, a ladle, a spatula, a chopper? not sure there - it has a handle and four blades off it, and a knife. It was the knife that made me woder as it seems new. I would think I would have seen it before if it had been out there.

Part number is 30 51 1600 so it may be older I guess, anyone know?

5755?!?!  :o  :omg: Never seen this before ... I don't think that this is available here in Germany ... and a blue accu drill is even better ('cause my/the AEG Power Tools are also blue -- dark blue)

Yes, the kitchen tools 30 51 1600 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30+51+1600) are actually in another set available (3968 (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3968.htm))
