Halvar over at Klickywelt has posted the first pictures of 2011 sets.
Themes are Hafen with new boats and beach sets including a ferry and a small fishing boat plus a beach side cafe.
Farm with new spotted pigs and it looks like new puppy molds plus some others
1-2-3 including a new forest set with 7 new animals
2 police and 2 Tuning sets for the limited release
the Easter Eggs - knight, fairy, baby animal veterinarian, go-cart
There is a very bad picture of the new specials, hard to tell really what's there.
Check out Klickywelt. I'm sure eventually someone will post the pictures here.

What's a Tuning set? ???
The Easter Eggs sound....dull. Just versions of what's gone before.
Sounds like it could be a cheap year for me, unless the Specials are something amazing, which is probably a good thing.
-
What's a Tuning set? ???
From looking at the pix at Klickywelt, I think it means an auto body/repair shop. ???
-
What's a Tuning set? ???
:hmm: Tuning a car? Pimp it up? Give better wheels, rear spoiler, maybe air brush,.... Is Tuning no english word?
-
Its some kind of remake of this set:
4321 - Car in Tuning Workshop (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4321)
-
Somebody wrote, you can change the car sides. And it look's like, there are also parts included, to change the engine bonnet and the bootlid. But I'm not sure. ::)

Ah, car tuning, thanks Indianna and shirona!
When I see the word tuning I'm think musical instruments, not cars. :-[

Hi
similar to tuning an instrument so it sounds right we tune a motor so it runs at optimum performance .
Tuning a cars body is not a common term here in the US yet.
here are some pics

Thanks for posting the pics, Rasputin! I saw them at KW but was too lazy to bring them over. :-[
-
Excellent !!! 4365 looks like a911 a bit apart from the headlights, shame they havent made yet a 911 lookalike !!!!! ;D
-
The café is my favorite set! I also love the ferry and waterpolice but I probably won't buy them because I don't collect boats!
The new farm gets an extreme meh from me. It looks the same a the previous except more childish .
Easter eggs and specials double meh.
123 looks awesome especially that rocket!
-
These are all very interesting sets. Every new one seems more radical than the previous sets. Like that grocery/farm house.
It s like the house in the forest...
Good to know we'll have another chance on this police van! I wanted one so badly but neverhad the chance to get it!
-
Thanks for the pics, the only cool egg would be the go kart......
I dont have the account so dont know how to ask for permission, the new specials are quite cool. But are we simply getting too many babies with mothers recently??
-
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Were they scanned from a catalogue? They aren't featured in the 2010-2011 catalogue.
-
Some cool sets there- I like the cafe and farmhouse, and the ferry is pretty neat as well.
-
Thanks for the pics, am liking the farmhouse and pig pen.

Hi Martin,

The second have a soundbox at the backseats you can see a Equalizer , i think so !
But price is 34 EUR !!! 8}

That's definately a Saab front if ever I've seen one :lens:

Great photos - thanks! I can't wait till folks have these in hand. I think the Harbour Police station will make a lovely Villa if you can leave off the signage.
-
Great foto's thanks a lot.
I like the farm stuff.
-
I love the shelter in the pig set! It will be great in my zoo! I love the solar panels on the barn. Isn't that the first time we've seen solar panels?
I really, really like the ferry! That's a great idea. And I was noticing that you could play Jaws and Jaws II :munch: with some of the new sets. 5131 looks like the boat from the first movie, and then 5130 is like the boats the kids went out in in the second movie, and 5129 would make a great set for that, too.
-
Hi
There were solar panels with battteries in the tree house set.
I like the 5124 calf shelter but those are usually used in our country as a young dairy cow pen so if we want to use these in a scene it would be nice to have a dairy operation with all the milking machines etc.... I just hope playmobil was not intending on these being used as veal pens :'(
I really like the 5121 large tractor with the large trailer. It looks great as it is but I will be using the loader for logging operations
The arched 5122 pig pen looks interesting but I would like to see it closer up
As far as the building go I like a lot of the accessories but why is it that Playmobil keeps downsizing the walls and roofs. It is starting to look more and more like a Hollywood scene and less like a real building.
The beach or water front buildings look so small but I do hope they are system X so we can at least make them as big as we want.
The baby blue police swat van is just not right, who picks these colors :hmm:
The race cars look great. I too think the white one resembles a Porsche and the other one does look like a convertible saab. I just hope we are putting on the decals so we can choose to leave them off if we want

Thanks for posting the photos...
I like the farm shop and the cafe best, but I also like the small fishing boat, ...and the calf pen ...and the pig sty .... oh I'm going to have to start collecting farm things now! 8}

Thanks for posting this info and the pics... it's great to see what's coming in the distant future! As for the sets - ho hum, nothing of much interest for me. I like the ferry boat though - it's a good theme for here considering that's the only way of getting off this island.

-
I like the eggs with the fairy/unicorn and the animal handler/baby animals. They're cute. :D
The new pig pen has pigs with spots? Or should I get new glasses? :: cleaning glasses :: No, it still looks like they have spots.
I think I'm going to be tempted to buy a fishing boat, too. It's going to be a good year for Playmobil purchases when those sets come to the US.
-
thanks for posting these pics :love:
cars are my favourite so im very pleased to see so many of them (especially the tuning cars). the polizei van intrigues me as i can't decide if it is blue, white or silver to match the other polizei vehicles...i hope its silver.
im loving the ferry and harbour building and the other boats but just am not sure about the fishing boat. i cant help thinking it looks like the 123 version but with adult klickies. i hope to be proven wrong when i see a bigger picture.
i like the new farmhouse with farm shop but agree that playmo are making the buildings and especially the barn roof too basic...i know kids need to be able to access the inside for play value but we managed to play in the older buildings with proper roofs when we were kids! rant over...i bet i buy them all anyway!
claire :wave:
-
I also find the buildings looks like movie fakes, juct front wall, and nothing behind.
Most welcome news among all these new sets is the pixie egg !

Well, there is a milk ... silo? (is that the right word?) in the set with the barn. So I guess they intend it to be a dairy.
-
. . . The new pig pen has pigs with spots? Or should I get new glasses? :: cleaning glasses :: No, it still looks like they have spots. . .
It also looks like there is a new and interesting-looking "hobbit hole" type pig shelter in the background. :)

Yes!!! Now I can recreate in Playmobil the legendary milk crisis song.

I have taken a few days to review the sets. I can tell you that I love the custom car sets, specially the white car. It looks a lot like a Porsche. The new lesure sets are also pretty cool. I love the new little car. The farm isn't bad either. I will wait for better pictures of the special to comment on them...

Hi
There were solar panels with battteries in the tree house set.
Ok, I give up. What treehouse? I've been looking and looking and I can't figure out which one you mean.
In the process of looking, I came across set 4057 on playmodb, and I haven't seen this set before? Is it new, or did I just miss it somehow?
-
thanks for posting the pics :) personally i don't like them too childish for my taste :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no: :no:
-
I dont like the flat houses, but I very much like the pimped cars! :love:
Especially the light application on one of the cars is very cool! 8-)
And I love the fairy! :cheerlead:
But to be honest, the fisher boat is kind of not so exciting... ::)
Not too much of new knights and adventure sets though... ???
best,
socrates

Hi
Check set 4217 & 5746. I seem to vaguely remember the red one but now that I see it again I like it. IF you changed the floor color it would look a bit better in my opinion

You've made that complaint before, but you may recall that this is a toy aimed at an age range of 4-12.
If it's too childish for you, maybe you need a new hobby?

no i don't play with my playmo i only collect sets msib from 70's 80's and 90's and only for display because they are very nice to look , collect and decorate my house , there are different ways of enjoying your playmo not only playing ;) i would buy these for my kids if i had but no for me !! it's for kids true ,but now with the co/cl let's hope they'll make something more realistic for collectors like me ..

Thanks, Ras! I see it now. I was looking at that set earlier and just not seeing it. They sure don't make it very obvious!
-
also thanks to :) halvar :wow: from :) klickywelt :love: we have some pictures of some new specials and new 123 sets for 2011.
-
Now, those 123 sets look really great! (never thought I'd be so excited) :lol:
The specials look quite good too :lens:
Thanks, Halvar and Cachalote! :)
Damo :)
-
thanx Cachalote and haval :wave:
there is not a close picture of the specials ? :lens:
-
Yeah, what's going on in the special front right? Lawn jockey? :lol: :hmm: :o
-
The front bottom row looks like girl at beach with toys, mom with baby and stroller, veterinarian with baby gorilla
-
The 1-2-3 sets do look good and look more like simplified Playmobil, especially the coach and the refuse wagon. One way to catch the customers (and their parents) early on.
-
thanks again every one for the pictures, very interesting.
I agree with the earlier post what's up with the roof? Nothing much to interest me on the whole but some nice parts. I did like the new pig sty but the main thing is the silo WOW give that a repaint and I'll have a water tower for my western train ;)
-
It is nice to see the tractor in Claas colours, I suppose the old one could have been a MF, and the blue one and green billy Ford's and Fendt's
I can't understand why the silo has a pic of a cow on it ??? Milk isn't stored in silos, and the pic tackens it up a bit :-\
Damo :)
-
Damo, milk is kept in silos. Large dairy farms have silos for storage of the milk before the truck comes to take it to the creamery. Dairy silos are typically narrower with a round top, where grain silos these days are wider often with a pointed top.
-
WoW! Like everything else in life, not everyone can be pleased. I would like to say that these new sets look GREAT :)9.
a few notes:
- Im glad to see Playmobil making newer and more creative buildings / structures, although may not be the best for modeling purposes they alow for excellent play value for children.
-I feel that Playmobil continues to get more realistic and detailed every year with the majority of their "city life" sets.
-Sometimes you just have to look outside the box and use your imagination......when I see the barn building I actually vision it completely gutted of "farm stuff" and turned into a shipyard style warehouse where anything could be maufactured and even appears that the front door is even tall enough to have a rail car enter. And like someone else mentioned about the dockside police station.....just remove the signage and you can turn it into anything, afterall, how many police stations do we need?
- Yes, milk here in the US is stored on site while waiting to be delivered in elevated and non elevated silos. This particular silo does resemble more of a feed silo though but could go both ways.
-And yes, here in the US it is common for the younger generation to refer to "sport compact cars" as "tuned" cars or "tuners" or "tuning" as a verb for customizing your car.
-Best of all, Well done on the ferry! :**:
-
I haven't seen anything in this thread of the horses and motorbikes that are going to be released in January? Six different horses with driver and stables and 6 different bikes with drivers. If this hasn't been posted yet, I could scan a picture from the catalogue. :)
-

That's what I thought :-\
Ones here in the UK are just big silver tanks that stand on the ground. This particular one looks like one for grain, which does appear on the front, but also with the cow ???
Damo :)
-
Thank you for the pictures. I like how functional the farm is. I don't think we will be adding it to our collection, but I enjoy seeing it.

Here (Western Canada), only silage is kept in silos.

well tanotrooper in hadoque's thread "New sets late 2010 / early 2011 (Europe)" - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=5191.0 - you can see your horses and motorbikes (that is, if you consider "american" motorbikes - there are 2 of them - as real motorbikes :P).

You can now look them up on the German website (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=Special).
-
I just got the 2010/2011 german catalogue and there is no skater special.... and by viking you mean the knight with the double axe?
-
sorry guys, I was talking about the specials to be released in the second half of 2011, including the skater, could-be viking, pirate captain and other fillers, which I saw in the klickywelt. I have no account there so cant ask for permission
-
where are the new equestrian/horse competition sets?
-
What do you mean? You mean the ones on the german website?

I was thinking the other day about these new horses. They are beautiful but I love the first playmo horse..... it is a ruff design but it has something..... I like them. Maybe the simplicity of them... I don't know...
-
I like the new ones better. A akid I always wondered why they couldn't make the horses better, more realistic. All the other animals were really good; why did the horse look like a cave drawing? ???
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I would have said a wooden horse!
-
I like those new horses as much as the oldest/first ones
I think the ones that were around in the 2000's were the worst playmobil animal design ever :P
glad they'll be gone ;D
I just wish the new horses had movable legs :hmm:
-
Yes, I've always thought they should have movable legs, but maybe that would make them look awkward. Picture them looking like the zebras. :no:
-
I think the ones that were around in the 2000's were the worst playmobil animal design ever :P
glad they'll be gone ;D
which ones do you mean?
-
I think he means the current horse design? I like it better than the old design myself. But I don't know if it will be gone because of these new ones coming out. I think they are just special horses.
-
Wow Playmobil buying is going to get expensive in the next few years :)
-
Thanks for sharing the pics! I really love the house! :thanks:

yes

What's really cool about the old horse is that it's very nicely playable ... You could galop well, and even put the horse standing on the back legs (and tail). That is simply genious!
The new horses are only pretty, but not all that playable ... I miss my old ones.
-
That is true... I always loved that about the originals that you could make the buck. Your imagination always kind of covered the rest.
-
I love the old horses, even though they're kind of weird looking
current horses = (hmm I need a face throwing up here)
bonnie, I think you're right about the new horses, they may be just ad addition and not a susbstitution
