Title: New Blisters at TRU
Post by: bonniebeth on February 17, 2011, 20:00:18
Chris and I stopped by Toys R US today, and I was surprised to see these new blister packs. Has anyone seen these before?

I really like the outfits on these teenagers!

They also had a set with two divers in it, but I didn't buy that one, as I have plenty of divers. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me at the store!

I hadn't seen them. They are nice combinations, a little more play value than just plain figures.

Thanks for the news on the Blisters. I see TRU has some new sets that are not listed in the DB like the new Mad Max car (it looks like it is made from left overs).

The colors of the clothes and skateboards is very festive and exciting  :hmm: The yellow right below the torso makes it look as though they have the sagging pants trend that the  hip hoppers  do . I see the boy has a helmet but why doesn't the girl care about head injuries  :wall:

That's the same thing Chris said!

The yellow on the pants is the one thing I don't like about this set. I think it's supposed to look like the layered look, another shirt hanging down from under the other. But I don't like it, especially since the paint job isn't very good on this part, and you can see the darker color under it.  :no:

However I LOVE the color of the female's pants. they're sort of a cranberry color that is very nice. And her shirt is purple and gold -- LSU colors!  :love:

Very Nice indeed! My son would love the skaters and my daughter the pony. Here's hoping they make their was across the Antipodes eventually.

I haven't seen these before and I was in TRU earlier this week. Rats.


Nice sets, but not really my theme. Just as well or I'd have to hop in the car immediately.

Maybe she's just a better sk8r than he is and her mad skillz are just that much better than his.  Maybe he's a newb and she's teaching him to sk8?

Yes I am sure she is better and all. Didn't you know chicks are better at everything, just ask my wife  ;) But this being a toy and all it should set examples for the kids they are marketed at. It is like having a construction worker with out a hard hat  :builder: or the wood shop teacher with out safety glasses on 8-).

and by the way even if she is a better shredder she should be pushing her own abilities which leads to wipe outs  :0 She will not be so cute looking like this  :loco:

We just had a shooting war/party of 16 boys and safety was a big issue of mine. The only idiot was my nephew (well actually its my brothers fault for not teaching enough safety) who never shot anything before and had a bullet hit him in the nose right when he took off the protection.

I tired to find these sets on TRU's web site and they are not there. I wanted to see the divers as we could use more. Were they free divers or scuba divers?
Title: Re: New Blisters at TRU
Post by: bonniebeth on February 18, 2011, 03:59:59
Errr, I guess free divers would mean snorkels instead of oxygen tanks? Don't really know much about it, sorry.  :-[ I really don't remember; all I remember is one of them had a handheld...... propeller thing. Chris is about 90% sure they were free divers with snorkels.

Hello Klicky32!  The ToysRUs website is probably the best way to see what they sell.  Here is a link:   ToysRUs Playmobil for sale (http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?sr=1&kw=playmobil&kwCatId=&f=Taxonomy%2FTRUS%2F2254197&s=A-ProductAge&origkw=playmobil&view=all)

Post by: bonniebeth on February 22, 2011, 14:29:08
Yeah, I was thinking I may go back and buy them tomorrow, actually. They're really cheap, so I'll bring them home so I can take good pics, even though I don't particularly need them. Who knows? I may have use for them some time.

No it just causes lingering credit card debt. :P We need to create a new forum called playmoholics anonymous, where we all stop enabling each others' addiction! And we can encourage each other to turn to other things instead!  :lol:

Anyway, here it is:

Sorry they're a little blurry.  :-[

I'm so glad I went, because they had some new sets there that I wasn't expecting!  ;D I got the new vacation house, 4857, and the new swimming pool, 4858! (http://www.mazeguy.net/happy/jump.gif)

When you first said the diver had a underwater scooter I figured they would have to be scuba divers unless playmobil really messed up. This is a good mix and I will have to get a few of these
Title: Re: New Blisters at TRU

Yes, maybe they can be cleaning the sea lion exhibit.  :lol: Or I might have dolphins. Definitely no orcas in my zoo, though!  :no:
