:o wow...
:hmm: wait.
these are the same sets that were shown in kliclywelt and playclicks 2 weeks ago.
:'( not really a wow then.

:) meanwhile could someone please unlock the threads that were send to mod school - whatever is taught there?
thanks.

;) by the way, i hope geobra can offer this site's moderators a very good gift for being the only ones to defend this important confidentiality.
what?
they couldn't care less?
they didn't took notice of it?
come on, such a big effort and nothing is gained in return...
i bet the "red" danish wouldn't be so unpolite...


Even after all the secrecy, I didn't see anything to  be excited about.

Well I like the playmofriends warrior, he's a nice difference from the usual knights. Kind of reminds me of an adventurer in a fantasy setting.

That ice sculpture dragon is pretty cool too, will go great with an ice wizard.

Other than that the roman chariot is pretty neat but nothing else of that set seems that interesting. The three clickies are all repeats which is such a shame. With such a beautifull bull themed chariot you'd think they would add a bull themed gladiator to it instead of a repeat medieval figure with a wolf cowl.
I just hope this is a taste of things to come, paving the way for more romans getting released in 2016.

Yeah he's like those knights in the green "fantasy" theme (does that even have an official name?) but with a different coloration. I always thought there was a lot of potential in that theme.

Well that's a two edged sword. What if they come out with a Roman mini theme, but it's all crap retreads?

You have to admit that little wall is pretty cool though. I can't wait to have a closer look at the "bas reliefs" on it.

Ya, geobra named an entire line in honor or the upstanding behavior ......Playmofriends...now if they would do avatars

Kid bought a new computer game and its using all the bandwidth so I can not even get the catalog to load.

the beekeeper is my favourite set.  :love:
it is beautiful.  :)
... i don't even care that it came 2 years after the sylvanian beekeeper set.
... and that 2 years seems to be the time it takes geobra to make a new set.
it is beautiful anyway.  :)

little to get excited about. the pirate sets are poor, and there are too many modern and city sets nowadays. thank god for the ds reissues.

Generally they do seem to put little effort in historic themes yes.

Last cowboy theme did have some nice sets but the soldiers looked awfull, the upcomeing pirate batch seems to be the worst so far, I'd say even the ghost pirates where a better batch. And medieval.. well its doing its thing but not so focused on war and playing it safe.

The innovation seems to mostly appear in modern themes.

perhaps its more interesting and challenging for us Rhalius....gathering useable parts and making our own historical themes like we have been doing in those years when no new historical themes came out.

Partially yes, though I guest its mostly good for my wallet.

Now it's pretty much just the DS rereleases that I buy alongside the occasional second hand lot and a few small new sets.
