5249 question
« on: March 01, 2012, 06:12:35 »
I was looking at the picture and wanted to know about the blanket roll. on it it looks like there is a stick or gun. the old ones do not have a clip on top but a clip on teh bottom that held it onto the special saddle. Does anybody know if this one is the same as the old one.

Is this set available yet? I would really like to see it with out all that blue rigging on the horses. I think it would look so much better with brown.

I really hope that Geobra does not forget to provide the new 9 sets with a confederrate army.

I really want all the new western sets. There are some neat klickies in there.

It looks like its a piece of cloth, like the ones used in the modern house theme sets for towels. Definately not the same with the known western bedroll for saddles...

Western wont be available until August I think.  The horse tack seems heavy. There's a cloth sleeping bag in the Dinos series so I wouldn't be surprised if they've used a functional cloth one instead of the plastic.

they marked 1886 on a bunch of stuff so i doubt that they are planning on confederates... but I am certainly hoping that there is a western train in the works (though it would be RC) to go with the soon to be current again tracks

I bet that if this western batch is doing well, there will be more to follow up on it.

It probably will be selling good considering the absence of the theme for so many years, and the sets do look nice. Still not too happy about the soldiers using two shades of blue, and the swimsuit indians look a bit odd, but furthermore the theme looks very good.

I agree there are a lot of oddities with these sets. To me it looks like the design teem was going for a very "toy-ish" look. The yellow wheels, the bright blue harnesses, the multi colored uniforms  8} it would have been better if they were tattered, worn out looking rather than so fresh and clean, war is messy .

Some good looking new rifles it seems, but I'm not so sure I like the use of the cloth bedrolls. ???
