Judging by the new special plus, there could plausibly be wave 2 or hopefully 3 of the Surprise figures!!!
What figures do you like to see?? Do you want designs that are similar to the discontinued specials, or something new and more innovative?
It seems that the Witch from 5204 is the most popular one. I hope Geobra can keep this up and bring us more great klickies!!!

I also hope that more Fi?ures are in the works. It would be nice to see some medieval civallians or some fantasy creatures like aliens :love:. From all the excitement here, it seems like these Fi?ures must be pretty popular!

Newly-released sets always generate a lot of excitement among fans. It takes a while for people to start complaining. Just look at the current knights sets to see what I mean (there's a recent review in the other subforum too).
I wouldn't mind another couple of waves of these f!gures. Forking out money without knowing what I'm buying is what I don't like. I think it's a very cynical marketing ploy on Geobra's part. As the Maltese proverb goes, nobody likes to buy fish in the sea.

I must be the only one not complaining about the new knights :P
As for what figs I would like to see... hmmm... let me think about it...

I definitly think they will keep the bags - certainly hope so. There's something about them that I like.
And I am not the only one, all the shops that I'd visited in the region and that have them displayed on a got spot (on the counter or near it) are nearly sold out. And it has only been available here for a few weeks!
What would I like to see ... mmm ...
I would defnitly like to see medieval folk. Farmers, sheppards, monks - things like that!
But goblins, dwarves would be cool too!

I'm not being a trouble maker, but are these new bags recyclable? :P
All of Playmobil's previous packaging is recyclable (apart from the sticker sheets I think :-\) I haven't seen any of these new bags but they look foily.
To get me interested, I would like to see some more modern Klickies, fro police, fire/rescue, construction ets :P
Damo :)

I think bags sorted by theme would be cool....like we can get the middle ages guys...whilst Flatcat can get the modern folks.......
-
I like both suggestions CountBogro and flatcat. Medieval folks would be most welcome!!!
Damo those bags are recyclable, yes. I had some figures bought form ebay...
-
I would be really interested to know which of the current series have been the most popular. How do you know the witch has been the most favoured so far?
What would I like to see? hmm...
Definately more medieval figures, perhaps a few more Victorian, a beach goer perhaps? I will have to have a longer think :)

There are some sellers on ebay selling the f!gures, at the same BIN price regardless of which figure it is. And the witch goes out of stock the quickest and they are as well sold at higher price for auctions.

I would love to see another wave of f?gures, but I'm not very happy with the current line. Victorian and city life f?gures would be most welcome.

Geobra is testing the waters. If the idea flies in terms of sales, you can be certain we will see more figures in the future - exactly like Lego does. I particularly don't really like the concept of "mystery bag", but unfortunately not knowing what you are buying does boost sales, but if that what it takes to periodically have a new wave of special customizable klickies hitting the stores, so be it.
So if Geobra does invest in the concept, you can bet they will put out all sorts of oddball klickies. But for the big themes (fire/rescue, victorian, etc) I bet there won't be many. That's what the specials are for, one klickie in one box that you know what you are buying. Unless, of course, they axed the special concept, which I think is unlikely :hmm:.
