These are great sets!  :love:
I do have the first sub and I must say that I like that color combination and those clickies better than these.

They are cool don't get me wrong.... but in Buenos Aires taxicabs are black and yellow... so this combo does not appeal to me for it makes me think of taxis.  :-[ :-[
At first when I saw the box's pics I thought it was a dark green metalic color  8} 8}.. but seeing it is black changed things a little bit....

However.... I DO WANT THESE TOO!!!!  :hissyfit: :hissyfit:

They look great, I like that the clicky is not stuck with that diving suit and can have a life in playmoworld outside his hobby.  :)
Also nice that his outfit matches that of the submarine crew.

The question remains though: does the submarine work? can it go underwater without drowning the poor clickies within?

great pictures and review of these sets. I too have the first edition and found them to be well designed and lots of fun for our boys. If they do get to the US I will be getting them so we can have some distinction between them. I do prefer the first color combination as this is a bit to festive with its wild colors.

The little inflatable boat with a deep sea diver is a bit odd. Once in the water the klicky would never be able to re-board his boat and would be stuck in the sea. Playmobil used to be quite accurate in its depiction of reality and how it works but they seem to be loosing this to cheap marketing ideas.

Thanks for the info on this preciously unknown color of the sub

That is quite true. A deep sea diver and a raft don't go together. :hmm:

Bought a small aquarium today so some underwater pics will follow in some other thread shortly.

@rhalius: we will know the klicky's stau dry!

@cheng: do not understand what you mean by 'nose' ? ???

Make sure to keep a resque team handy in case the submarine does not seal off properly.  ;)

These are great sets and will no doubt end up in my collection...

...I have a question about the box for the dinghy. It looks like it has a folding flap and tape like the original boxes rather than the more recent style ones which are glued down. Is this true or is it just the camera angle?
