Thanks for the better pics, highlandcattle!  I'm really looking forward to the Mongol.

Hi Highland 

   Yes thank you for the better pictures. I too am looking forward to the Mongol and I hope this is not the only one we will see. It is nice to see that the Mer-cats are an appropriate size. from some of the other pictures they seem to have been drinking radioactive juice and were way too big.

   I would like to see how they did the water in set 4851 ? it looks loose

   I am not a big fan of caged wild animals but there sure are some great parts to those sets . The giraffe feeder, the red arch, the round hut, the orangutan, some misc. building parts and of coarse all the new animals 

   Thanks again for the current pics

Thanks for the great pictures. The mongol fighter is a great hope for the future , could fit in very nicely with mediaval . The Ghost pirate i dont like personally,  i love the pirates themer but long are gone the days of the cannon galleon and the british frigate , todays ships with hteir strange cannons are not to my liking at all . the pirates of the carribean as i call them klickie sets i dont think are selling well so i doubt they will last anyting more that 24 months .

I agree with previous comment , anything with caged animals i disagree with..

Cool sets! Thanks for the pictures.

These are definitely an improvement on some of the previous years' Easter Egg collections.

The Mongolian is very interesting, but I also like the fairy with her floral throne.

Hi Sylvia 

   You just made me realize that these are eggs  The reason it matters is that the last round of large eggs was not supposed to make it to the US. Playmobil has recently been holding back sets for Europe only and I would hate to see us in the US not have easy access to them. I am already missing the 4 new Micro sets . I did not seem to find the easter bunny house 4460 that I wanted for robin hoods hide out. All the new soccer players never came .

   I too did not notice the unique chair made out of plants that I could use for robin hood sets .

I hope these eggs make it to the US.  I really want some of those Mongolians.  I also want the red knight from last years eggs, but I guess he won't be coming to the US.

I send my thanks, too, highlandcattle!  It's always interesting to see what the Playmo future holds.

To Sylvia, Rasputin, and others interested in the "fairy throne" - it may already be available through Direct Service because it is included in the new 4158 unicorn/fairy advent calendar.  I recently assembled this one as a gift for my niece so I recognized the throne right away - it does seem to have a lot of possibilities. 

Courtesy of Heather and Playmodb, here are the parts:

30 45 8120 - Throne base, leafy
30 45 8130 - Throne back, leafy
30 08 8300 - Ground with 1 hole for tree

Thanks, Anne!

It's also in set #4199 Fairy Garden, which I have. I had completely forgotten it existed already.
I think the addition of the small base rather than sticking it directly into a large landscape piece threw me.
