New 2010 sets, some details

[Richard]

Playmobil goes down market! (In ideas at least.)

It kinda looks that way, Gordon ...

Until now I haven't posted my findings because I wanted to wait until the 360° views of the castles would appear on the website. No they did so my findings of the new knights theme are: (see Ken's post)

Ken, thank you very much for your very thorough "pre-review" of the new castles. Hopefully, you will also do a full review later. Your insights and comments are great!

-I miss a stone stairs 
-I miss a real medieval house 
-I miss steck  and eventual new parts

Me too, Ken. Especially, the "eventual new Steck parts" that we will never see ...

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

There is also a new animated film to introduce the "Top Agents" theme followed by the calendar of new releases:

Very James Bondish!    I think the kids will enjoy it even if it doesn't do much for me.

Thanks, Anne ....

That's a really great marketing video for Playmobil!

With that kind of promotion, "Top Agent" should do very well.

Thanks again and all the best,

Is that child's rocking horse acually made of wood? (if not because it really wood like!)

[cachalote]

playmobil is really getting fast. 
surely they have read "our" theads and decided to go woody. 
we have to thank jimbo for his plywood triplane - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=3684.15 - and gepetto for coming with the beautiful "plymobil" concept. 
... and 2005huysmans for his sky crane - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4054.0. 
it is the future !

The new knights are a great improvement on the fantasy ones of recent years, and I like the villa theme.

I didn't buy any of the 2004 releases but was faacinated back then as I am now. Maybe I change my point of view when I see more pictures.

After seeing pictures of the big castle's interior it keeps growing on me more and more.
