Did not buy all 6 sets from the stoneage theme at once, but this one did came along with the sabre toothed cats.
Had to see how the mammoth-bone hut is looking like in real life.
Here goes: front and back site

I did not want you to miss one of the pictures on the side of the box, even back in "the lithics" you had to chill
from time to time. :)

The inside of the box containing its contents. :)

The contents of one of the bags contaning the wolf/dog and the skeleton of the mammoth and his tusks.
As can be seen from the picture, the tusks are bright white while the rest of the skeleton is more grey. I had hoped the
skeleton would be white. It is however possible that the grey skeleton resembles weathering.

The remaining contents, with the three neaderthaler klicky's , base and the mammoth skin. The base is a click system where you can attach the rocks to the sand. The skin is slightly bendable, but not much. Beneath the skin (not shown) are the pins to mount the skin to the base.

Here you can see the base with the rocks attached. There's lots of room for our stoneage klicky's.

The mammoth bones making the skeleton with one klicky underneath to show you the scale. Yeah, the tusks are big it's not just the photo. 8-)
I did not take a picture of how the skelton is mounted into the skin, I still can if one asks ofcourse. But as I mentioned earlier the skin is mounted to the base. The skeleton is just snapped into the skin and does not touch the base.

At last a kodak moment. At the right the klicky is domesticating the wolf/dog with a bone. :camera:

It's a nice set with a spear, axe, bone and a campfire as accessories. The fire has a gradient from orange to yellow in real life it looks kinda shabby but it works very well on a picture. It really looks like fire compared to the orange flames from pm so far if you ask me.
As a drawback of this set I must say that it could have contained more accessories (some stone tools and a drinking cup like a skull cap ;D) and an animal (dog/wolf or some mice :D ) extra.
Have fun with the pictures. :wave:
-
Thanks for sharing! This is a great looking theme! I like the new fire.
-
Thanks for the review.. :love:
I can't wait to have my hands on them!! I really love that theme. Just hope we get an add-on set with a family or something, or else it's a bit hard to expand the tribes...

The surprise figures have a cavewoman!

Thanks for the review, conniefrere! :thanks:
This and the Smilodon set are a great stepping stone to build your Stone Age collection... ;)
-
Thanks so much for the review! These are just great. :love: Can't wait to get them!!!!
-
Loved the mammoth skeleton!
I agree it should be whiter then gray. But maybe Geobra wanted to make a contrast between the bones and the tusks.
-
Thanks for the review. It looks like a great set. The skeleton will be very popular for people doing the big orc/undead battle scenes.
-
Yeah, it's actually more accurate to have the bones be a dingy color, and the tusks (made of ivory, not bone) to look different. Bones are not really white, it takes a lot of bleaching, either from many years of sunlight, or artificial processes, to turn them white.

Exactly, and hopefully they make more sets of this theme and specials and superspecials and supersets etc. etc. etc.
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Great looking set! Thanks for posting.
-
Thanks for the review!! Great looking set! I like that the cave can be turned into a skeleton!!! Looks like a lot of fun!!
-
The surprise figures have a cavewoman!
Yep, see the PROCESS - we are keeping all of them! :love:
-
omg i'm loving it more and more :love:
thanks for the review! :)
-
This is really an amazing theme! :wow:
PM knew what they were doing, and exactly what they wanted the theme to look like. :)9
And these skits... So many customizing potentials... :love:
-
Thanks so much for this review and the smilodon one! I really like the color of the dog/wolf in this set. The klickies are awesome as well.
I hope this theme is a january 2012 release in the US :crossed: and I'm going to have to redouble my efforts to find the cavewoman fi?gure! :)

In a toyshop here in the area, the store opened all figures bags to check its contents. The put a number on it so you can exactly see which one you buy. It spoils the surprise but very conveneint though :)
-
Convenience sounds better than the surprise at this point! (I've got 26 of the fi?ures! :toot:Fortunately there are 3 of us in the house who want them, so duplicates are no problem). If my local independent toy store ever gets them in, I'll suggest they take the guesswork out as well, at least for some of the figures! Maybe they could charge a little more for the ones that were out of the bag.
-
Thanks for the review.....sadly I cant see the pictures again :'(
I like the helmet of the prehistoric theme.....
-
I hope this theme is a january 2012 release in the US :crossed:
if i'm not mistaken, the release dates in the export markets (USA included) are the same as those in Germany - hence these sets wouldn't be released in the US until Septermber 2012
-
Yep, that's how I've always understood it. Unless of course TRU gets them early. ;D That sure would be nice!
-
oh good point - that's always likely! :)
-
Thanks for the info about the potential release date. I have so much to learn! ;D
-
This is one theme i aint gonna miss !!!! :love: :love: :love:
-
I'm too claustrophobic for getting into a cave-theme, but there are some very nice new parts in it. 8-) Some cool new wigs too!
-
..have to wait for another year or so to come down here !!! :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:
-
Oh what a great set. I just love how you can build a dead animal hut out of that skeleton and skin.
Thanks for the reviews :**:
