This new theme is too James Bond for me... plus, the vehicles look a lot transformers/gi joe-like... I am sorry but this sereis has no appeal to me whatsoever! If I wanted action toys I'd buy a regular transformer or gi joe! But, something like this will work for a kid between 7 and 12 that are looking for action toys!!!!

Playmobil has dificulty keeping older children to maintain interest for the toy... its the digital age you see... thus this newer age target group 7-12...

I see your points guys. I was not interested in this them either. I just found it for a good price and thought it was good to give it a try. What is really silly to me is to put a top to the buyers age  :lol:
The box is kinda cute, and surely more apealling for older kids but I like classic boxes better. Even the pink ones!

All is odd about the set. The string that it brings was very messed up in the bag, around the clicky's neck, as if chocking him. They even had to put instructions for how to put the suit on. You don't need an MIT degree but as it makes not much sense.... you actually need instructions!!!

The best part about it is the intention to innovate. The creation of a new theme (even if it is the wrong one) is a good sign, that Playmobil keeps working to catch more public. The question now is.... how much is too much? Electronic devices for spies, transformers pick up trucks and aircrafts, flying planes?

Well, the agent theme, was made, to reach the older kids, which think that they are too old to play with PM. That was the idea from Geobra, by creating the agents. I read this somewhere.  ;)

Do you remember that when I bought the victorian classic car it came with the wrong clickie? And I was going to exchange clickies with the guy who sold it to me in order to have the right one? Well...it was easier to buy the whole set!  :lol:
So I did!
And It came with an extra dog and a briefcase.   ;D

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
