 . . . What I found more surprising though.. is that a new System X tool?! :o

Looks like it is designed to remove System X connectors as well as to install them - and they say Playmobil isn't a building system!  ;)

The old tool removed them just fine. I found that I used to break the old one right where the metal tip ended inside the plastic but that was usually due to age. The new tool seems to have no metal anymore. Perhaps geobra wanted a less expensive option. I even think customizes will try to incorporate this new tool as a part.

This might be old news but I noticed other new items on the Playmobil US site, such as the red pickup truck $19.99, jet plane for just $29.99, and I think there was a least one more. I know pics of these sets were leaked a few months ago but the only place I've seen them for sale is on eBay before now.

How disappointing that the small shopping center is rather evidently directed at the girls, while the police car is also plainly intended for boys. I would purchase the shopping center if it wasn't plastered with pastel colours. I feel that Playmobil has lost a wide demographic appeal that they enjoyed with sets such as the Post Office and Supermarket, because both of which used a neutral colour palette and can be incorporated into a realistic city that can be enjoyed by both girls and boys.

A shame they gave both cops painted on sunglasses and they excluded a girl cop.  :(

I really do not like that they are turning the police theme into a full boy theme with all the swat teams, rifles and bringing down the number of girl figures.. not a single girl swat member either.

Very much agree with this point as well.
