Sure would be nice to see pictures, but I'm not going to spend $15 just to see them. Sorry, but these are toys for sale is all, as much as I like them.

My 'guess' now that we don't see advance copies of catalogs is that it will be in the early part of next year. It was an early item in Germany last year.  As a tip, I bought that and a lot of the other German releases when they came out from a seller in Amazon Germany.  Paid the regular price. Even with shipping it wasn't bad at all. I suspect I'll do that again this year.   Last year in the US the German direct order pieces were mostly available here in the US the 1st of January.

Jay, thanks for the tip about ordering from Amazon.de!!!  I would have never thought of trying to place an order there from the US.  They have some great sales going on right now.  :banana:  I had to try hard to show restraint and not go on a buying spree, as they had lots of stuff from several themes on sale right now.

I purchased the 5422 Lodge/Chalet/Hut/whatchamacallit; the 5426 Cable Car; the 5425 Cattle Drive; and the 5424 Hikers/Mountain Spring.  All for $157.03 shipped!

PLAYMOBIL 5424 - Hikers in mountain spring
Original Price: Eur 19.99
Sale Price: Eur 17.99 (10% off)
Final price after VAT removed: Eur 15.12 => $20.77

PLAYMOBIL 5425 - Cattle Drive
Original Price: Eur 19.99
Sale Price: Eur 14.99 (25% off)
Final price after VAT removed: Eur 12.60 => $17.30

PLAYMOBIL 5422 - hut
Original Price: Eur 54.99
Sale Price: Eur 36.90 (33% off)
Final price after VAT removed: Eur 31.01 => $42.59

PLAYMOBIL 5426 - cableway mountain station
Original Price: Eur 54.99
Sale Price: Eur 39.79 (28% off)
Final price after VAT removed: Eur 33.44 => $45.93

Shipping Charge: EUR 17.78 => $24.42

Even with shipping being fairly high, I think this is a great deal, and I assumed that I'd pay about $150 for just the cable car and alpine hut alone when they arrived in the US later this spring.

Glad that worked out. And at a good price. Once we common folk learn what's new for next year, I except to be making some purchases again. The only down side right now is that the dollar is down somewhat from the Euro.  Still, as you say, it's cheaper and quicker than waiting to get them here.    :house:  (I love these icons!!)

If you use the Google Chrome web browser, it will translate German to English for you.  I don't know about finding which sellers offer international shipping, but Amazon.de themselves do.  Just like on the US site, it says who is selling it, so I just stuck to Amazon and didn't bother with anyone else.  Additionally, most of the Amazon.de items have the "prime" logo on the thumbnail when browsing, so that made it even easier.  Then, in the checkout process, you can use your US account, which will already have your address and credit card info (if you opted to have them remember it), so it's just a matter of clicking through the steps....  It wasn't too hard at all.   ;D
