Title: The Bits I Dream About ~ Someday Playmobil will hear my dreams
Post by: Gustavo on September 24, 2010, 15:58:36
This is the usual (kind of) periodic topic (these things always appear, now & again), where we share what we'd like to see made by Playmobil.

Here's a place for sharing what small & tiny parts we'd like :love: we'd love :inlove: we feel we need :prays: to see made by them, and launched, and in what kind of set/theme (*) we'd like to see it.

So, I'll start with my own dreams, in a following message

(*) Now that we have thematic smilies, I'd like to encourage you to use it, when you mention the theme :)

My wish #3 is Roman coins! for Romans, of course :roman: :egypt:

To give a better idea of what it might look like:

it could be with Roman numerals for 1, 2 and 5 (to be in accordance with the playmobil traditional coins model), so I, II and V

with drawings like I/owl ; II/Roman she-wolf & V/Emperor's face (with laurī)

(These are only general ideas of how it'd look great, but it could be different, of course. As long as properly Roman :) )

I would really like... WWI and WWII figures.
Though they are easy to make, (with Imagination... ;) )
It would be fun to see how Playmobil does it.

I would also like to see more Napoleonic figures produced (like blue 7675 (http://store.playmobilusa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Product-Show?pid=7675&cgid=Piraten) figures)
Or Colonial figures. (More of the new 4127 (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=4127&cgid=Ideen-Ecke)

Well, there are coins in copper, exactly that colour of your wish  ;D
here is the picture!

But what I REALLY want are nice System-X roofs and gables to use in pirate or medieval context! WOW  :love: :love: :love:

There is a new astronaut coming out this year.

IMHO playmobil has made very good spacemen and aliens and space figures. I yet have to see a good space vehicle. Sorry, but the ones they made sofar suck. I'd like to see a good cool spaceship. One that looks awesome.

Other things I miss: there is dayly life stuff in the modern themes, but not in the historical themes. That is a pity. Where is the arabic/middle eastern pottery salesman? Where is the wonder drug snake oil salesman in the western theme? Things like that.

Well, i have to strongly disagree. When the playmospace theme came out was an instant success and subsequenty the theme was expanded and indeed last for quite  a few year. The fact that the playmospace spacesuits are based on 2001 : A Space Odyssey and the spacecraft designs are based loosely on designs seen on late 70s/ early 80s sci fi movies and especially tv series , ( like battlestar galactica) made them exceptionally popular back then and everyone wanted to have one

I am soory too but have to say choose your words more wisely. I dont know if you were around when playmospace space vehicles came out but back then for example  the flying saucer playmospace space station was one of the coolest toys to have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see the release of a new Victorian theme!  :)
But this one should feature a few small houses or shops, rereleases of the vehicles (black cabriolet?) and the Victorian mansion in a new colour. (Something more pink/red like the pavilion in the wedding theme.) Simple expansion packs of Victorian soldiers would be great. If they'd want, they could use WWI troops...  :D

... They won't do that.  ;D But I'd love to see the Pickelhaube in a different colour, aswell as the return of the bearskin hats (or the complete Royal guard specials for that matter!) and the husar shakos. Also, a figure wearing a monocle should be included in this theme, both with and without a moustache!  :gent:

I'd also like to see a Napoleonesque theme, which bases on bluecoat vs. redcoat action instead of pirates. The husar shako or a new shako could be produced aswell as backpacks. Castles and fortifications still existed and were used during this era, so these could make some great buildings aswell. The tudor houses from DS could be used in small civilian life sets from this period. And not to mention the large vessels Playmobil could create!

And of course the rerelease of certain rare and wanted specials such as the British Royal Guard etc.

It looks great tonguello!  ;D This is indeed what I'd like to see Playmobil do.  :gent:
As for the colour, I think gold looks better. I have a real silvercoloured monocle myself, but I think goldcoloured would look better.  :)

 ??? ??? ??? Customized? Belive me, they are not customized, they are "real"! At least in Germany they are coins in copper ! ..or did you just mean "you have none of them"?
...mmmh, that would be a different question, right! ...anyway...

I can confirm Sir Pleamo's picture. These copper coins came in a "Nordsee"-Exclusive plastic bag in 2008.

BUT I agree with Gustavo that you could never actually buy them in a Set nor as an add-on nor via DS.

If you desperately need some, Gustavo, I could start looking for some for you.

Phew! ... I was beginning to question myself if I had lost something :P

If they've done already, they'll do it again, I hope, no need to worry, but :thanks: Playmofool :)

(Of course, if you find some, eventually ::) Problem is, they're probably rare, and I am out of resources for the moment :-[ so, don't give yourself to trouble in doing it: I can't afford, and it's okay 8-) )

I hope they put them in pirate sets too. It isn't a difficult thing, neither to think, nor to do ...

You're going to hear from me. *promise :yup:*

Interesting to know about these copper coins. I bought lots and lots of gold coins many years ago from Playmolibl UK DS , enough to fill about 10  treasure boxes fully  :-[ :-[ :-[

I had all the flying spacecraft from the 80's myself. The winged one looked cool, but the landing gear was far too bulky and spoiled the looks big time. I used to take the landing gear off, because I thought the looked very bad.

And even as a child I thought the swiveling thruster were a bid strange.

The big station was okee, but this had a these weird little jets. Again as a child I thought these were inadequate for propulsion and steering. I still do.

I played with them a lot, but I always thought it was a real pity, these shortcomings (in my opinion).
