5499 Small Shopping Center 5614 Policecar
« on: July 23, 2014, 22:04:59 »
A smaller version of the shopping center, or maybe just a large shop. It was mentioned over at Klickywelt with this link to the instructions at Playmobil.de http://playmobil.scene7.com/is/content/Playmobil/5499pdf.pdf?locale=de_DE
From that it looks nice, if the price point is good it would be more tempting to me as it's a bit more compact but has the interesting features. Might be useful as a gift shop or restaurant. Assumption is that it's for the US market but I don't think any have been seen yet.

There is also a new police car out. It's 5614 at Playmobilusa http://www.playmobil.us/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Product-Show?pid=5614 It's a more US muscle car prototype look than I've seen before. It looks pretty good.

Thanks Tim, the shop does look like it would be useful.  I like your idea of a restaurant.

Repainted it would make a nice city hall as well.
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

Thanks so much for the news and the pictures!
I was really hoping that the smaller shop would have more neutral colours (like they did with the inn), but no such luck.

I really like that police car. And I see some uses for that small shopping center
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Thanks Tim for the links. I like the smaller shops for single stores it's just that the base seems like it will only be build-able one way. I agree the color does narrow down the uses.

The police car looks fun for high speed chases. It may even look good as a civilian car with a repaint
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

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.

Thanks Tiermann...

A shame it has to be pink..

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

You may find that a little strange, but I do think of a Stars Observatory Lab' when I see this  ;)

Yes Tahra, it's a new tool, we found it in our other new sets in the US. If its in the US the tool should be old news to Europeans
