Safari
« on: December 29, 2011, 18:26:04 »
It seems that I've gotten an urge to buy playmo animals. It started when I saw the old safari theme with the tent and the jeep with the guy on the roof, the bedouines etc.. I checked playmobil.nl and saw the new safari theme and decided to buy the hyena's!

Now I've ordered the complete theme and somewhere next week i think I will make a sort of diorama. I'll have to wait for the sets to arrive, because of the holidays  :( :( :( I did not count to that. I hope it will arrive somewhere next week.

For now I can show my other buy, it's a safariset made for the USA the 5922. (I assume it's for the US market, not sure) I bought it at a Dutch store were they mainly sell household stuff.




More will follow shortly and hopefully end-up in a nice diorama. (Will be my first one and will probably look more as an overview)

I got that 5922 not long ago, and I just LOVE it! I think it's awesome that it has the old kind of acacia tree in it. :love: Congrats on your purchase. The safari theme is such an exciting theme... buffalo and hyenas and ostriches, oh my!

When I was assembling the tree it felt quite odd, the leaves were different form the other acacia's (new ones). Ooh I just can't wait for the other sets to arrive. I made some room already and some custom klicky's as characters in the picture later on.

Same here. That was my first tree, I mean. I wasn't born in '84.

Honestly the new acacias are nicer, but I am sentimentally attached to this old style!

Yeah, that is the case with many of the parts... newer versions are actually better, but the old ones have a certain... charm.
