Tierman, mine looks like the one on the box. What does yours look like?
I'm not much of a pony ranch person, but the rider doesn't clash with the Victorian sets (minus the fact that she should be wearing a skirt and riding side saddle, but klickies can't ride side saddle). The horse box looks cool too. I kind of want the 4th one in the series as well.

Pynedor, thanks! I don't know how long she'll stay, but I needed something besides one of the standard avatars.

Thoughts:

Rose Gardener
:) The gardening gloves are a nice touch, and he can still hold the shears while wearing them.
:( There are a lot of pegs for roses, but very few actual roses.

St. Nick and Angel
:) St. Nick as a bishop isn't a common toy to see in the USA, so I'm glad it was available.
The angel's wings are attached to a collar, so she doesn't have a hole in her back if you want to use the klicky for something else.
:( St. Nick's hat is kind of loose, and his beard/mustache is a touch low, so that his mouth sometimes peeps over the mustache. 
I prefer the old gold bracelets to these new bangles that rotate freely around the wrist.
I hate the plastic packaging. It's a pain to get open (definitely not kid friendly) and hard on box collectors.
??? St. Nick has women's shoes!

Guinea Pigs
:) Lots of guinea pigs!
:( Some have this weird indent on their heads from the molding process.

I was looking forward to finding that set eventually, but none of those seem to be very good things about it... :(

Well, it's definitely better now! ;)

Also, you could probably get the title changed on this thread if you want to make it a general purchase thread for you, since it's so long already! :lol: It's up to you though of course. :)

I like the set, but it could have been a touch more polished. Having a bishop klicky is awesome though  :)

Eh, the title is generic enough, so it's fine.
---------------------------------------------
Redcoat & Pirate
:) My 4577 guard now has stiff competition for favorite klicky. The redcoat from this duo is so pretty!  :love:
:( Again, the stupid plastic packaging.
I would rather have had a second redcoat than the pirate, but oh well!

Redcoat Leader
:) His mustache is better than the other redcoat's.
:( I didn't realize this when purchasing, but his ponytail is rat tail style, which isn't as appealing or realistic as some of the other long hair styles.
Since the ponytail is so long, you have to take his hair off to remove or put back his cape.

Horse, Rider and Stable
:) Overall, a beautiful set.
:( The horse box did have a few pieces that were hard to click in, but the major problem is one piece is damaged so I can't complete the box until I contact Playmobil.
The reins seem a bit weird to me.
 :prays: I would love to see more sets like this with riders with less modern clothing.

Family II
:) A good selection of accessories.
:( The image on the skateboard is scary. Not sure if the recipient will appreciate that.

Family III
:) They have a camera... of course.
:( Aside from the camera, the accessories are small and uninteresting. And there are no hats.

That is interesting. I wonder how many wrong horses they sent out.

I do hate the monster print on that skateboard! It's awful. :(

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
