There are two differences in the 5799 to the one in the picture (there are always small differences ... :-[ ):

1. Union soldier (below) brings old fashioned scarf
and 2. confederate one has one striped canteen belt (couldn't find any picture).

When I was young, I always kept thinking where they might sell those rifles with the long tip, because, when I was a kid, I only got short rifles (attached, however small). This time, the rifle, at least, came right! :yup:, it's a long carabine!

In fact, Martin, specials 4628 + 4622 (below) would have been quite a blister!!! 8}
They didn't dare.

I agree, concerning the archer. I still don't have any Roman archer, for example. Even so, I imagine that it isn't that bad to sell one centurion + one legionaire, once people can buy the three legionaires set, and have one centurion with 4 legionaires ;D

I believe they'll still release some blister with an archer, in the future, maybe combined with Egyptians ... One can only hope :hmm:

I must have missed something  ??? I do not remember 5799 & 5800 blisters at all  :-[

They look great and I will be getting some as soon as i can find them . I do agree that they could have had some slight changes but none the less, I like them and will use them the way they are

Thanks Gus for the info

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:

We've been waiting for 5799 to appear for a while, just wish the Union soldier had been the 4628 special instead. That won't stop me buying a dozen for those rare Confederate sideburns.

The 5800 doesn't make any sense to me at all. A ratio of 1 Centurion to 1 Legionary is useless, so this pack doesn't work for army builders, and anyway both these figures are still available as accessories as well as in the 4276 ship. A better pack would have been the archer, only available in sets 4275 and 4276, and the cavalryman from set 4273.

I agree completely with Martin.  The Roman pack is useless, as both figures will be available as add-ons even after most of the Roman theme has been discontinued.  The archer and either the yellow cavalryman or the auxiliary soldier with sandals would have been much better choices.  And Playmobil really missed the boat by not including the original Union soldier Special.

Gustavo:  good eyes on the different scarf!

I totally disagree ...  :P

If and when the Roman blister appears at Target, for $2.99 USD, I'll buy every one I can lay my hands on.

Do the math. A set of 3 Romans from Playmobil USA DS "Add Ons" is $9.99 USD.  $2.99 multiplied by 3 is $8.97. If I throw away the centurions from 3 blisters, I've still saved $1.07! The three centurions are a FREE bonus, plus I've saved over a dollar!

Seems like a no brainer to me ... ;)

That is a very good point, I'd grab a bunch too. I picked up a dozen on so 5827 blisters @ $2 apiece because Fred Meyer were trying to clear their shelves, and I was happy to help them. I'd just hate having to throw away those centurions.  ;D

I'm not used to thinking Target prices yet, if these blisters came out in thwe UK they'd start at £4 or £4.50 each, no saving on a direct order.

Yes agree or disagree the question I have is where are these coming out ? Targets around here already have their new blisters ?

Well, I heard that Sunny Brinquedos is bringing playmo from Germany, from Spain, and from the US, so, it's impossible for me to say ... :-[

A while ago I received a package with all the sets from the new dragons theme. I haven't been in the mood to make pictures yet, but I'll try to make and post some soon. There are some really great parts.
