Title: Picked up some Playmo
Post by: Tiermann on May 30, 2011, 19:32:37
...while I was in Germany.
By getting rid of most of the boxes I was able to squeeze it all into my suitcase for the return trip

That's it for today. There will be reviews coming for some of the sets eventually. Lots of photos from the trip to sort through. I will post when the Playmo ones are online.
About the red Nessie - I managed to get one through the kind help of a new friend, but there weren't any available for purchase at the Funpark shop any more. I believe Amir still has one that may be up for grabs now that I have mine.

I should also say a big THANK YOU to Amir for placing my big parts order. I am now down to only needing 17 of the currently available animals to have one of each.  That's I believe just over 700 different animals in my collection now.

Oh nice job!! I can't wait for the review of that 1.2.3 set you have! It's this one isn't it? I have become quite obsessed with the 1.2.3 sets; my 2nd daughter is turning 1 in a couple days and I have a big stash for her. ;)

And this one too! And the egg!! I like everything you got...except maybe the dinosaurs. Although my 6 year old would probably like them!

I love the first picture! It reminds me of when my wife worked in Switzerland. She used to grab every new issues for me there before they were available in France. Nice haul! The red Nessie is awesome!
Cheers,
Arnaud

I really like the 123 forest set. I will put it on my review list. I am happy with just about everything. The only one that doesn't work too well for me is the new white laying cat. It has green eyes and looks wrong to me with eyes open like that, I prefer the older sleeping cat. The cloth piece for the basket is cool though. I really like the pigs and the new rabbits.

Ah?! You were in Germany, Tim... You should have dropped by in Little Belgium; from an American perspective that's "just around the corner"!  ;D ;)
Congrats on your purchases, I see you already got the DS-Western Mill and Oldtimer...
Did you see/buy any of the new DS-Redcoats as well?
Title: Re: Picked up some Playmo
Post by: Tiermann on May 31, 2011, 01:37:56
Redcoats weren't available, neither was the bakery that I really wanted.
The car is very nice. I will do a review on it when I can. Right now I am working on a big update for Animobil with the pics of all the new animals plus some other adjustments.

Looking forward to seeing a review of the car.
I love the little white monkeys - I hadn't seen those before, and the red nessie  :love: I'm so jealous of that!

Well I only got 2 of the 6 horse series when I was there, so I still need the other 4. I can wait until they come available here next spring since I know they are coming. Most of the rest are 123 animals.
123 chicken and horse on bases from 6766
123 Lioness from the ark 6765
I will try DS order for those 3
then I am going to order from Playmo USA once I know for sure they are giving away the koala game. I need 3 of the 4 color koalas from the game, the 123 dark rabbit, 123 tan dog with spots, and 123 dolphin so that's 6 of them with that order.
The others are all older 123 animals - dog black with spots, dog brown with spots, white cow with black spots, fish blue, fish yellow, fish green

So that's the 19. There are a couple of possible others. I've heard of an older shark variation but haven't seen it yet, and there may be cream colored kittens but I'm still trying to track down where they came from - the newest barn set maybe?

Announced but not yet released are the prehistoric mammoths (2), baby mammoth, cave bear, saber toothed cat, wolf and the 2 colors of Pegasus. I got photos of all of those but the wolf while I was in Germany that will take temporary spots until I actually get them.

This is as close as I've ever been to having all of them. I'm beginning to think about where I could do a set-up and put one out of each all together for a big photo. At the moment that would be 702 different ones.

The only egg they had on the shelf was the pink with the unicorn. Conveniently that was the only one I wanted. They will be out here next year I am sure.
Title: Re: Picked up some Playmo
Post by: Luis on May 31, 2011, 23:35:18
yeah, i just didn't want to wait 6 months more ;D

i like the pink one too, i'll get it when it becomes available here :love:

Post by: skypurr on May 31, 2011, 23:53:41
I could help you out with the koalas if you can't get them and I have a 123 fish but not sure if it would be classed as yellow or orange, (it's the one from set 6601) but you are welcome to it if it's what you want.

Have the oldtimer and the windmill.. I THINK. Guess I'll hold on to them for another decade. No water tower. I mean, just one ;)

Though... Green!? It should be BLACK!

That's exactly why I got an extra one... for painting it black!  :P

 :no: :no:   ;D

some of the very first automobiles in the united kingdom and probably in other countries were painted in dark green also known as 'racing green' i think its quite accurtae to have this colour for old cars, i just hope they bring out a single seater old racing car now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Have at least a couple of those... There was a white one, and later a red one, right?

Had no idea they used to make cars that color. We always intended  to paint one of the oldtimers black. The problem is we don't know how to.

Post by: tahra on June 01, 2011, 20:47:16
Think I have most the first victorian batch.. There were a couple of stores that sold all sorts of junk, one for 300$ (about 1.5 EUR), the other for 1000$ (5 EUR). Many of the sets appeared on the first one - from the piano to the kids and women with the brown dog... The mounted soldiers too, I think.. And the cars appeared in the 1000 one.

If it was today, I would have bought ALL of them. Alas, at the time.. my sis bought 2 oldtimer cars and one truck, since she figured that if it was one of each, we'd both want the car... Wise of her ;)
