The box graphics look very 'Antex' :lol:  -especially the pony set!

I see what you mean about the dolphin pool :-\

Thanks for the news....they are indeed quite cheap comparing to those  "real" and "non-mass-market" ones. Probably to keep the price below USD20 at the expenses of giving less accessories to the kids. 8}

But they are good to open the kids to the world of playmobil~~!!!

Sometimes I think these exclusive sets are basically thrown together to use up a bunch of extra parts.  :P

Yes....they look sooooo empty

But somehow the last U.S. exclusive, like 5900, in the blister packs form, are quite good. I look forward to seeing some new thrown together blister sets!!

a new quad too
for some reason they have these listed in a different (probably wrong) category on their website
http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?categoryId=3263960&f=PAD%2FBrand+Name+Secondary%2FPlaymobil&fbc=1&fbn=Brand+Name+Secondary|Playmobil (http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?categoryId=3263960&f=PAD%2FBrand+Name+Secondary%2FPlaymobil&fbc=1&fbn=Brand+Name+Secondary|Playmobil)

they are listed in the usual category too http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?fbc=1&f=PAD%2FBrand+Name+Secondary%2FPlaymobil&categoryId=3252100&fbn=Brand+Name+Secondary|Playmobil&view=all (http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?fbc=1&f=PAD%2FBrand+Name+Secondary%2FPlaymobil&categoryId=3252100&fbn=Brand+Name+Secondary|Playmobil&view=all)

The Fairy Tale Playset - Princess and carriage seems very good value.

Yeah, they have this one at my local TRU, and so far, I have passed it up, because it is cheap compared to the other one. It doesn't have a seat in front for a driver, and there is no hoop skirt for the princess.

Post by: Luis on December 27, 2010, 22:53:01
I actually like all of them, :P except for the dragon sets (that theme is so non-playmo...yuck)

I think the box design for this kind of sets is fine...

Thanks everyone, and Bonnie for the info :)

One of my daughters saw the Princess buggy and really liked it.  I think it's pretty nice too.  Too bad it probably won't come to TRU Canada ...

interesting that tru has the asian zoo already, as i thought it was just new in germany last year.

Post by: bonniebeth on December 29, 2010, 01:52:20
Yeah for some reason, the whole new zoo theme and the freaky giant iguana theme both came to TRU long before being released on US DS. They have both full themes at my local TRU.
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: klicky32 on December 29, 2010, 08:06:24
yes this are some cool new items, I like the new Playmobil Camper, SO I have a problem I live in germany. Who can help me, would be nice. If one can help to order this Camper,

because they are TRU......but strangely....TRU in Hong Kong doesnt carry the easter eggs and target blisters... 
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: Tiermann on December 29, 2010, 19:03:38
I think releasing the zoo etc. at TRU first is a way of giving them an exclusive without having to produce any new sets.

Hello Playmofriends,

First of all they are beautiful sets! I was planing to get some but, look what happened!

Just yesterday I realized that now TRU US no longer have these sets! I couldn't find them any where! Do you all really think they sold out so fast? Or what do you all think happened with them?

Baden  :wave:
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: bonniebeth on January 02, 2011, 15:36:43
hmmm... I can't find them either.  :eh?: Very strange. And they only have 180 products listed now. They will probably come back later.
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: Tiermann on January 02, 2011, 19:20:53
My guess is that they jumped the gun and posted them before they had actually received any stock. It gives us a look ahead though.

Check the amount ToysRUs.ca has for playmobil.  Then all of you quit your whining! >:( >:( >:(

Except for the dolphin pool for some reason (so far).

Are you talking about the shed in the new color ? The other old one is set 7917
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: highlandcattle on February 05, 2011, 16:05:41
No, I'm talking about the support stands on the entry sign. It is a little different and a new colour
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: highlandcattle on February 05, 2011, 16:08:21
Can you spot the difference  ;D.

I love how the box says it says xx pieces
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!

I think it has a cross bar to allow the pole gate to be hung ? ?

Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: Tiermann on February 05, 2011, 18:44:51
Yes it's a different piece, may be System X though

Post by: Tiermann on February 06, 2011, 15:42:20
My last search doesn't work as well any more, you have to look at the whole category

Maybe that's because all Playmobil is 25% Off this week.

The dolphin-pool ist back!
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10946106 (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10946106)

...and a nice penguin-enclosure i haven't seen before:

Ooh, I like the penguin enclosure! It looks like the same mold as the caiman exhibit. I want it!  ;D
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: Tiermann on February 08, 2011, 21:50:51
While smaller the penguin one is much better with the clear sides. I would bet the clear part is a single piece the rocks fit over the top of. That could make it very useful, especially at that nice price compared to the caiman enclosure add on.
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: bonniebeth on February 08, 2011, 22:22:58
Yes, I was looking at that price too. It's really cheap! it probably is two pieces, just like the caiman exhibit.

Does anyone like the dolphin set?  :eh?: It looks like the sides are solid, not clear, in kind of a weird blue color.

i don't like the dolphin pool - i wish there was a sea world show looking one, with the seats around and stuff :)
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: bonniebeth on February 08, 2011, 23:25:12
Yeah, this one just looks like a cheap knock-off. It doesn't even look like playmobil.

Post by: ZooKeeper on February 09, 2011, 00:16:49
Three zoo-sets in short time that are released only in the US...DHL, VISA and myus.com will be very happy to get my money and i should think about a second job...  8}

@bonniebeth: You're right it looks quite awful...how should the people take a look at the dolphins with solid walls and without a stand? But i like the red flag with the dolphin on it :)
Title: Re: New sets at TRU US!
Post by: bonniebeth on February 09, 2011, 00:20:24
You're right, that is a nice flag. Actually I was just looking at this set, and I have an idea for it.... I'll have to see what I can do.
