What theme(s) or set(s) do you like the least?

[playmo1989]

I think I like all the themes!

What I dislike though is the more recent playmobil trend of making the themes (even classic ones) less realistic looking and more preschool-ish.

yes  i agree suddently all new sets all not realistic and silly especially this new ship is so fake

[playmo1989]

well, back on topic, lol, my least favourite theme actually is the latest farm theme.  I like the animals, but can't stand the preschool looking barns and fencing.  Though it's nothing a little spray paint can't remedy

the latest farms are terrible but the 1992 farm? and all  sets of this series are great !!!!

    they are just toys where do you see the sad expressions on animals the other themes with guns and swords  differ?

If you can understand what I wrote, I said I donot endorse any thing that has to do with circus themes. It is an opinion like some of yours! BTW Playmo's animals don't have smiles on their faces from what I've seen ! When are you going to show us pictures of your collection ?

yes? in athens circuses don't often come? the circuses i've seen were in xalkidiki and thessaloniki i havn't seen any animals 

Then you certainly have not been to circuses Alex. I've only been once at the age of 10 and did not like it one bit. Nor have you been watching the news. In May 2009 there was an incident involving an elephant abuse (I am terribly sorry Bonnie) in a greek circus. Arcturos, an environmentalist group that specialises in the preservation of wildlife and especially in the preservation and protection of bears --- http://www.arcturos.gr/en/default.asp --- shot a video of that abuse. It can be found in youtube but I will not post a link here as its inhuman and very sad.

I am sorry but by just looking at the playmobil theme incidents such as these come to mind, and thats the reason I am biased toward that theme...

Yes, i definitely do not approve of circuses. I haven't been to one since I was a small child. What I like are zoos. As a matter of fact they often house elephants that have been rescued from circuses, and try to make the rest of their lives more comfortable.

I like the circus theme because of the colour and variety of the sets.  I have never been to a circus that had animals, the ones here in the UK are mainly acrobats and the ones I have seen have been very impressive.  I'm not keen on zoos, but don't mind safari parks and I am hoping to create a wildlife park for our next exhibition.
I have the medieval 'dancing bear' sets, because they were a part of life in medieval times, but it doesn't mean I approve of what went on then.
As for least favourite themes, on the whole I like most themes.  I am not impressed with the new secret agent theme although there are possibilities with the building and I don't really like the mermaids and sea horses but in most of the themes there is something that I think is useful even if I don't like the theme as a whole. 
I did say I didn't like the bunnies until Gis sent me one and I changed my mind  so I could change my mind again with the themes I have said I am not keen on!

Good point. i think it's cool that the arena comes with lions and gladiators simply because it is historically accurate. It doesn't mean I approve of these fights or would have gone to see them if i had lived in that time. A lot of the things we play with aren't really pleasant, just realistic. All kinds of fighting armies, police and criminals, firefighters rescuing people from burning buildings. I guess the same might be said of the circus animal sets.

[Bill Blackhurst]

Still won't change my opinion about circuses !

[bonniebeth]

Me either. At least not the animal kind. Something like Cirque du Soleil maybe. Which would be a cool theme by the way.
