4279 new house
4280 passenger cars and equipment parking bay
4281 winter garden and sunning terrace
4282 sunny living room
4283 large living kitchen
4284 modern parents bedroom
4285 bath with a corner tub
4286 baby rooms 
4287 children's game rooms
4288 housekeeping area
4289 work rooms

Hmm, google translate puts it as:

4279 new residential building
4280 cars and appliances pitch
4281 winter garden and sun
4282 Sunny living room
4283 Large residential kitchen
4284 Modern parents bedroom
4285 bathroom with corner
4286 baby room
4287 children's play room
4288 home economics room
4289 Business Center

I'll take it that means the modern house (released 2000) has just gone thru a re-design; I know it's wild guesses but is there a typical/predictable re-design cycle period with Playmobil?   (this is speaking from mainly a knights/medieval collector, so I'm trying to guesstimate how long the current theme will be around till the next re-design  ;))

Thanks for the info, Andi.  There's some interesting stuff there, although only some of the house items might interest me.

But where are the new fire engines?  I was sure that the new firefighter Special would mean new fire engines this year (2009 for the UK).  Now it looks as if it will be 2009 for Germany and 2010 for the UK, unless there are other release still to come.  (That new Unimog construction vehicle would be an ideal basis for a fire engine.)

oooh, these sound exciting...i am intrigued by that police water plane!

Gordon, i too was sure they would release new fire sets this year, and a station with the rolling door from the carry along work yard.....but i guess we'll need to wait another year.

but at least we can be certain that geobra are definately listening to collectors wishes as we now have egyptians aswell as romans  :wow:

hi and thanks for the news andi. :)
i decided to take a look at the klickywelt.de site and i think there are 2 extra novelties anounced that you missed: ???
- 4635 Footballspieler
- 4642 Kapitän
for the first time i am not totally unhappy for the lack of new pirates (maybe the "kapitän" can actually be a pirate, i don´t know).
this way i can have some breeding space to buy the latest american and european sets i am still missing. :-[
the new egyptian sets should be very cool. i bet the roman fans should be very happy.
one of the guys in the german forum also talks about the possibility of the surprise set - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1805.30 - being napoleon in egypt.
this could bring the pirates/soldiers theme and the egyptian theme together.
let´s wait for some pictures to confirm 2008 as a great playmo year. :yup:

WOW - the egyptian theme sounds wonderfull. I wonder what eyes they will have  ???

And I must admit I was also thinking of the Micro-house  ;)
This sounds as if this could be a very expensive year. Perhaps we should try and get a extra job or two  ;D

Can't wait for the piccies to arrive!

PLAYMOBIL EGYPTIAN DESIGNS

While we all wait to see the first pictures of the NEW Playmobil Egyptians, the folks at GW thought that everyone might enjoy looking at Gordon Smuder (http://gardenwargaming.com/gallery/smuder/smuder.html)'s wonderful Playmobil Egyptian designs from the 1980's.

NOTE: Over the years Playmobil has used several of Gordon's designs to produce new figures and accessories.

does anybody have pics from a so called missisipiboat ?

or is it just a rumour ?
Title: Re: Novelties second half 2008 !!!!
Post by: CountBogro on January 05, 2008, 23:24:22
as far as I heard, and its existance is mentioned in one of the Playmobil guides, is that the Mississipe steamboat was ready to be produced when they decided not to. Too expensive.

I remember vaguely to have seen pics - but these can have been of a custom. But that's all I know...
I am quite sure though that someone had made a wonderfull custom of it anyway.

Pyramids??! :(o):
Pharaohs??!! :(o):
Sphinxes??!!!

I nearly fell off my chair in surprise when I saw this list! It has completely exceeded my expectations! :o

Although we haven't seen any pics yet, I'm sure these sets will be a dream come true for many adult collectors.

Thanks for relaying weinchylein's information, Andi! :love:
And a very big THANK YOU to the team in Zirndorf for listening to our pleas for more historical sets! :*)

I'm also looking forward to seeing the new modern house and room sets. It's going to be an amazing year! :D
