New Blister Rumour - Confederate & Union Soldier Specials

[Amd]

i like the blisters, i guess we may get those in a couple months... i like the western, the idea of use those makes me thin we may have a french and British soldier, and why not  a special real British guard...

i like the Romans, but is a shame to use the centurion, i was expecting a auxialia and a legionnaire, or an archer and a calvary man, but what the heck, i can wait... the pirates are good too, and actually usable, not those one leg and remade of all the other blisters pack

even the Knight's is not ugly as usuall, the true is that I'm getting so sick of golden pieces... but this ones are not bad, and are really good for different types of soldiers and civilizations...

On the whole, the historical blisters are very disappointing.

The legionary is potentially useful, but is currently available in an Add-On 3-pack, and I have too many centurions as it is.  No thanks.  (Just imagine if Playmobil had released a Roman blister pack consisting of the sandaled auxiliary infantrymen with the correct Gallic helmet paired with the Hamian archer!  Collectors would buy tons of these!  With their current choice, you may see a parent buy one for their son's birthday.)

As for the Civil War pack, as I wrote before, the Confederate soldier is useful, but if I wanted the Union soldier Playmobil decided on, I'd just buy the 3-pack that's currently available.  The people at Playmobil should really try thinking before choosing.

The knight and pirate blister packs are okay, but I'd only buy one of each.

Interesting!  I like the little horse in the vet pack...will be on the look out for these.  Thanks for sharing!

These are great. The 5799 and the 5800 will be most welcome. Thanks for the pics Amd.

Did 5799 ever get produced. I am hearing conflicting reports as to if this was just a trial and never actually got put into production for resale.

Cheers,

It was never produced.Too bad really.

[The_Mad_Hadder]

That is what I was thinking, I mean I would have seen one come up by now. And the artwork people showed of it, it had the XX for piece count which is incorrect.

Well one item to take of this list since it never was.

Thank you for the input

Sincerely,

I can't find any trace of this set on ebay.de or ebay.es. Pictures at PlaymoDB and Klickypedia seem to be the same as the one on page 528 of Collector 3rd Edition, listed as a US exclusive. Some sort of mock-up for catalogues but never released. And since Collector 3rd edition was released in 2009, inclusion there has not been corrected.

Sets 5800, 5802, 5820 and 5822 are also shown on p528 of Collector, all with the 'XXpc' caption (number of parts to be decided), but only 5800 (Roman Officers Duo-pack) seems, like 5799, not to have been released.

So, two more 'phantom' sets!

I removed the set from my to collect, I think it should be pulled from playmodb as well. It never came out in the US from talking to some of my other sources, but I have no confirmation from Playmobil US, my contact at Playmobil Canada says it does not show as a set on their system.
