Santa's Workshop carry case 5987 (had not seen this before)
The number gaps indicate that there may be more TRU exclusive sets soon
-
I like the fire station very much. I wonder if they'll appear over hear in TRU?
-
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brick walls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had never seen that!!!
:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
I haven't see the special forces truck or helicopter before :)
and Santa's workshop looks lovely!! :love:
-
Oooooh, well-spotted! The armored car has stickers for lights. :hmm: But other than that everything looks great! LOVE the firestation, with the brick walls, and the colors of that staircase are really nice. And the santa's workshop has so many great parts in it! Thanks for pointing this out!
-
:love: :love:
These tactical units sets are awesome ! I see now playmobil has a handheld machine gun and a turret machine gun under the chopper belly .. Hank Beck would have been furious if he ever saw all this !!! :lol:
Still look awesome and very very tempting for a modern era army ....
-
The 4x4 tactical vehicle has appeared elsewhere on PF recently.
-
Thanks for the info, and they are in stock for shipping :banana:
-
:o I LOVE the tactical unit truck and helicopter! And brick walls too?! Awesome!!! :yippee:
-
That Santa's Workshop set looks cool. Thanks for the information, Baron Marshall!
-
just bought the tactical truck will do review soon. but i like it...... not made in china box says Germany and it feels like it to. nice to see a higher quality US exclusive on the market
-
I really like the looks of the fire station, assuming the brick is molded and not painted on.
The Santa Workshop is new and has I think a new piece. There is a little stand to hold the doll upright. I'm not sure if the pen and brush set is entirely new also or just clever use of the test tube holder. It's a nice selection for the price.
-
The stand for the doll is not new. One came with the school set, as part of the art room to hold up the doll as a model. http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-20-1232
-
I love that Santa figure! He looks just like the one from #3974 but with a new hat.
-
Chris and I went to take a closer look at these items at TRU this evening. We were happy to see that the US exclusives, including the police helicopter, armored car, and fire station, are all made in Germany. No cheap chinese junk!!! The fire station looks really good. The bricks are definitely a real texture, not painted on. The bad news is that it looks a bit modular. Hard to tell how much, but it seems each wall is its own piece, but two stories high. The good news is, it seems to have all the proper system x holes, so that other pieces could be attached. The slide pole that comes with it appears easy to attach to regular system x pieces, unlike the previous one. It looks like a great set, which we will probably buy soon, and when we do we can properly review it if it hasn't been done yet. Also a few new knight sets there that I think are exclusives.
Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the entire princess castle theme is now available there, as well as the new pony ranch theme, which wasn't due to be released in the US for another year. :yippee: Chris surprised me yesterday with this set: http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=5226&cgid=Reiterhof :love: :love: :love:

Do you have pictures of these new sets Bonnie?
George.
-
No, I didn't take any pics, and I shoul have. But not to worry, I'll be going back. ;D
-
They have the pony ranch? And here I was doing so good at controlling my budget. sigh
It will have to wait until fall. Hopefully they will have some good 20% or more off sales this fall/winter.
-
Yep! :love: The only things I didn't see were a couple of smaller things like the pony wagon, and the lady doing a handstand on a horse. But they may have them at other TRUs. I was pretty thrilled to see them!!!
-
WOW!!!! Thos tactical sets are really great!!! Wish I could get my hands in a couple of each...

If you're willing to pay shipping to over there, I can help you get it. It is a big box, though, I'm afraid.

That'd be awesome, thanks! :)

Ok, here we go. This is the one I think is really new, set 5978. It's similar to 4869 - Falcon Knight's Battering Ram (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4869), but with different heraldry.

A close-up of the heraldry:

Now, this other one is actually listed and inventoried on playmodb, but with no pictures. I don't recall ever seeing pics of it before, but it may be known:

Thanks for the pictures bb, I want to go check them out now. It stinks moving as now TRU is 15 miles away. It used to be 1. I now want to find other excuses to go to "the big city"
ps: was the castle $29 or $39
-
Chris thinks it was 59 or 69. I can't remember, don't think I ever looked at the price. :-[ I should have thought of that. :doh:
-
I bought both of those sets today. Rasputin, the castle was 50 bucks. Luckily I had a 20% off coupon. The battering ram set is exactly the same as the falcon knight set. This blue double axe heraldry has become my favorite. I'm in the process of creating a new army of these. Right now I'm up to 32 blue and 45 yellow double axe knights. I will post pics when I'm done.
On a side note, the black helmet on the leader on the battering ram set looks like a new color. Also the helmets in the castle set are silver. I have only seen the bucket and flared helmet in black. The double axe shield has a dark border. The double axe fig in the knights carrying case has a silver border.

Wow, $49.99 for it, I now remeber why I loved when target got all of these, they kept the prices lower. TRU's above SRP is annoying to say the least.
I too want a full army of these guys, I bet they will look so good all lined up in battle formation.
-
I also like the blueish klickys... but have no need for a battering ram...
Thanks for the pics Bonnie! ;)
-
All these new sets look pretty nice. I particularly like the gray brick fire station. :fireman:
-
Thanks for the extra pics. I will have to get that blue knights set as well. I think the castle had been released in Greece(?) previously
-
The castle is a nice little set. The front of the tower is all one piece though. Its not a big castle but I'm gonna use mine as a small outpost or something.
-
Many thanks for the pictures of the new knights sets Bonnie. :wow:
I saw the castle here in Greece too.
From the other set I like very much the figures but we don't have it here yet. :'(
George.

Is the castle dark grey?
-
Is the castle dark grey?
Yes its dark grey similar to the rock castle 3269.
-
Thanks for the pictures, bonniebeth! I knew that the silver axe heraldry would be making an appearance as a featured heraldry! :) And I have to get that battering ram set, if only just for the dark metal great helm! It seems they've taken from some Crusade customs I've seen for the plume/crest.
I need to find those sets now though... 8}
-
Thanks for the piccies, bb! :)
I've copied them and posted them on KW with the reference that the pics come from you, I assume you're okay with that?

This set from the wildlife-theme appears at german TRU this week. Price is 29,99 Euro
(http://img5.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/2012081118393427016vjtlm.jpg)
I think its quite boring... :zz:
Anyway thanks to kw-user snox for info and picture.
-
what? I got it at TRU (USA) last year for $9 :o

That was because my TRU was having a store-closing clearance and things were marked down reeeally cheap. There's a bunch of these now at the new TRU, for 29.99 USD, I believe.

ooh you are right, now I remember!
Got another bargain for $8.... the one with the killer whale I think :love:
ok back to topic! ;)
-
that wildlife set doesnt look that boring.
The clicky looks perfectly happy as hes rowing around in the water, ready to shoot the big deer with his rifle when he gets bored. Somehow a fishing rod might have been a better option with this set than the rifle. ;)

Yes I remember this set, the guy rowing his boat all wrong, its a canoe not a rowboat. They changed the box art with the "WILD LIFE" but those idiots forgot to change the paddles.
I like this set and have a few of them.
-
I see a moose in that Wild Life set, but I can't indentify that big red animal... ???
And a canoe with rowboat-paddles is ideed rather stupid.
-
I popped into TRU yesterday and saw some new Pirate sets, anyone reported those yet? New style boxes, so they're easy enough to spot, but I didn't have a camera with me unfortunately.
I was going to get them but ended up putting them back on the shelf because really I have hundreds of pirates and really these would just be more of the same. Maybe when there's a sale on.
-
I haven't seen those yet, Martin! Please take pics next time you're there. ;D
-
The new pirates have been at my TRU since last year. The only sets of the new pirates I have not seen so far are the little Blue ship with the union jack flag and the individual redcoat with cannon. I've seen the island. The big ship, the cast away island, the red coat bastion, and the little set with the pirates and treasure.
-
Oh, do you mean this new pirate theme, Martin? http://store.playmobilusa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Search-Show?cgid=Piraten Yes, my TRU has had them for quite a while now, too.

By the way did you guys notice a few western theme sets in toys r us???
