5823 & 5824 - two new Blisters for the US

[playmogirl]

No sooner seen than done! It looks like an exact combination of 4567 - Sir Polkadot and 4583 - Sentry, both of which have inventories, a bonus!  I'll borrow your pic for the site, Anne, at least for the meantime.

Sorry about the size, I didn't know how else to post a picture here. I wish I had gotten both of the sets the other day. Sorry the picture isn't very good! But glad you can use it for now

Indeed it is, Heather ...

I wonder how many of the old Special sets Playmobil plans on "recycling" in their blister packs?

Hopefully a lot of the ones from more popular themes. There are some I would love to get my hands on for a good price.

Hello, Tim ...

... There are some I would love to get my hands on for a good price.

Just out of curiousity ... which ones?

All the best,

Just out of curiousity ... which ones?

A monk blister? one black, one brown. 
A blister the arab warrior and the palace guard... 
A mandarin/ninja blister... 
A Royal Guard blister?

Do you want me to continue?   

best,
socrates

Thanks Anne!

That pic tells us what we wanted to know, and I'd like to get a few of those too - the Sentry figure is a rare one, and I think one of the better Heraldic designs they've done. Only today I was putting together a parts order, and a few of that figure are on there.

None at Target for me yesterday, so I went down the street to Toys R Us and found them!!! There was also a new knight set I hadn't seen before 5818.

Thanks for the tip Anne! I tried TRU today and found the mermaids, the gladiators, the knights - AND a new pirate blister 5819. Very cool! The only downside - TRU charges $3.99 for the blisters, and Target only $2.99. Typical TRU mark-up.

Here are images of the 5819 set as well as the front of the 5818 before it is opened.

well...
4521 Arab Warrior
4525 Trick Shooter
4527 Indian Bowman
4530 Evil Witch
I wouldn't mind having another 4550 Midnight Witch
4551 Musketeer
4555 King's Knight
4569 Wolf Tracker
and 4593 Chef (I had 2 and traded one away, and then traded away the other one having forgotten I'd traded the first one)

Not really all that many, and all from before I started collecting regularly.

Thanks for the new pictures Tim!

The pirates are interesting, but I now have enough different pirate figures  not to feel the need to seek these out, but of course if I see them over here I'll snap up a couple.

Cachalote might be interested - anyone heard from him recently? I haven't seen him posting.

There's mention over on Playmoboard of old specials/Pals being re-released in the US, such as the Karate man, can anyone confirm this?

I'm not sure if the poster is seeing new stock or just old stock back on the shelves.

I'm glad you were able to find them!  Yes I thought the price was too high, which is why I only bought one of the knight sets.  My TRU also had the pirate set but they didn't look like new pirates to me. And I didn't want to pay that much! I had to get 2 of the mermaid sets though, one for each of my girls
