Just saw that there's a Star trek character pack coming out with Kirk, Spock, Bones and Uhura.

 :clap: Yay! I was going to buy the Spock keychain, but if they are releasing a Spock without either a hole in his head or a $500 ship, then I'll wait for that one. Uhura and Bones are kind of cool. I'm apathetic towards Kirk, but if it's a set, what can you do? 

Obviously excited for manatees. Do I need a painted camel?

I expect some of the new animals will be on my niece's wishlist. My wallet is concerned, but I don't know how much longer she will ask for plastic animals so I'll enjoy it while I can (thankfully she hasn't shown interest in Ayuma).

No, you need TWO. Obviously.

Get her glasses?   :P  There are AMAZING animals there...

Oh no!  :lol:

I expect she wants her animals to look more natural (unless they are dragons, sea monsters, etc.). She's a very precise child. She has glasses actually, but she's not nearly as blind as me.

We're still waiting in the US. The site says August.

Finally a classic old school bus
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Once again the US site's assininity has angered me. For the longest time I've wanted a faun figure, and when it finally arrives, IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON FILTERS. Were it not for the German forum I would've never seen it. And for some reason, they listed the newer Playmo Friends figures under City Life including the merchildren and snake woman. WHY???!!!!

Agree, some things are in silly places and hard to find. I've found searching by set number the fastest way to get to things I know should exist somewhere.

Your not the only one who has been quite frustrated with how the sets are organized

You’d think it would follow some type of logic but I have come to realize the staff in charge use a game of blindfolded darts when deciding where to put new sets

Which is fine for collectors, but presumably most people using the website won't know the set numbers and will be randomly browsing the site for sets their children might like

Yeah, the internal structure is maddening, but also there hasn't been enough effort to make sure sets are searchable for relevant keywords. Sometimes I don't have a specific set in mind and want to browse with a keyword. "Mythology" brings up nothing. "Victorian" only brings up sets with the word in the title, not corresponding sets like the Baby's Room (which doesn't come up for "nursery" either). The list goes on.
