Awesome looking finds well done loving the palnts and the Druid feel of the firts Wizard. That tree's also interesting and I really like the little Gnome and the pattern on the adult Gnome his leaf cloack looks like a really good piece on the instructions  :)

Thank you everyone!!

Here's a couple more. Newly realeased sets.



I don't know why but I love the camping sets. This one has a couple of things that are new to me, like the child with sandals  :love: the electric cooler  :love: and the pins (is that the name for the thingies that hold the clothe in the hanger?)
Also, I don't remember seeing a clear bottle of that type before.  ??? but I love it of course.
The tent is great though the color in the box is a bit deceiving, the yellow is a lot more paler  >:( which I think is horrible.
All in all, I love the set.

AND.....




At first I hated the shopping mall theme... but I took a fancy of it. Most of all with the ladies and the dresses.
This is clearly a "girl's" set (yeah right, as if that was going to stop me!) but WHY ON EARTH did they have to make everything freaking pink?? A pink computer? REALLY? How am I suppose to use that desk for a police station?  >:(
If the pink things in this set were black or grey or blue, that wouldn't make the set less girly,  people!!!

Anyway, I love it and I find it very funny. The clerk looks too much like a soccer mom to be a stylist  ::). The client can't sit on the chair because of the dress. It's ok for when they wash her hair... but when they cut it and brush it she has to lay down too?? all stiff!  :lol: :lol:

And best of all is this: I was aware of the rule: Shoes must match belt (and purse), but....









... the panties?  :lol: :lol: :lol:
Is that just in case the shoes shine too much?  :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

Anyway I love the set and I will use it sooner than you expect  ;D

I'm glad to see these reached you with the crazy import controls in your country!

'Clothes pegs' for me,  but I think its 'clothespins' in US and CDN.

If you combine the two sets with the police station, the pink computer would be good for camp officers, perhaps? (look up alternative meaning for 'camp' if you don't get this!).

One of my daughters (age 10) has just bought a dress-up girl set (5611, Take Along in a PINK box, of course) which she loves (anything pink for her!). I can see she will want many more similar sets. The underwear and shoes don't co-ordinate in her set, though!
Its a shame the dresses restrict what the figures can do- I hadn't realised they were hard plastic. They can't even bend at the waist with the dress on. I thought the dresses would be rubbery, like 'Polly Pocket' clothes. And the eyes are 'ordinary' PM eyes, unlike the eyes in the artwork used to promote these sets!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I'm not sure if it's a US exclusive, but the Carrying Case Shop 5611 http://www.playmobil.us/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Product-Show?pid=5611  has the same sales desk but with a grey computer.

Thanks for all the pictures, I like both that camping set and the hair salon.
