You have been a very, very good boy, Cachalote ... ;)

You only have one more week to wait for mid-May ...  8}

Hopefully, Playmobil will NOT disappoint you ... :prays:

But, if they do ... I promise that I will go out and buy a Lego set in protest ...  :hehe:

LOL! I've been on holiday in Wales and Dorset much of the last 3 weeks, so I've been visiting Toymaster toyshops and seen a few Lego sets that look remarkably like Playmobil sets, even the composition of the box photograph. e.g. the Policeman on a motorbike. I've got a pic somewhere when I have time to post it.
 
I've also noticed that some Lego sets boast quicker assembly to allow quicker play with the finished article. Seems to me if you're only going to assemble it once and then keep it for play, Playmobil is the better choice of product.

Ain't that the truth !!!

However, Martin ... if they disappoint Cachalote ...
There are 31 days in this month. So, if there's no announcement from Playmobil by Friday (16th) ...
I'm going to follow through with my promise and buy a Lego set this coming weekend! ... :(

Now doens't that look a lot like the Playmobil Police bike?

With apologies for the focus, I only got one shot and it looked fine when I took it.

I know there is a lot of toy rivalry but you might be looking for a long shot here . The Playmobil is not some sort of creative genius . Did they not just look at a real Police Motorcycle and duplicate it ? Then Lego did the same . Both toys look to the real world and imitate it in toy version .

Unless Cachalote releases you from your promise ... Y' know: if you owe your life to a man, and he releases you, you are no longer obliged to serve him as a slave. 8}

 ;)
 ;D

:no: longer, no


Another thing you might do would be to offer this sacrifice to someone who may come to like it: send the box by mail to Rasputin! :yup:

A "promise" is a promise, Gus ... :yup:

And, if Playmobil does NOT come through with their promise for Cachalote, then I will not inflict my protest on Rasputin or anyone else. I will buy a Lego set and keep looking at it as a reminder that Playmobil failed Cachalote ...  :'(

I keep my promises , let's see if Playmobil keeps their promise. (Only 2 i/2 days to mid month) ...  :hmm:

All the best,
Richard the Promise Keeper

Too late i already buy plenty of Legos , and my kids love the San Diego lego land  :love: I guess i got sick of my middle child ripping apart the playmobil so we got him a mountain of legos to create with .

Although i do not have that set , I will probably get the motorcycles from the Indiana Jones set . :P

It is now "mid-May" ...  :)

Has anyone seen anything "new" from Playmobil?

I wonder if I'll have to buy that Lego set this weekend?

All the best,
Richard the Promise Keeper
