The bat idea I like but some of the others are maybe too narrow in their market such as Bonnie's cassowary.  The fun park/fairground sounds good.

My late father had a little nonsense rhyme about the cassowary.

If I were a cassowary on the plains of Timbuktoo,
If I met a missionary, I'd eat him,
And his hymn book too,
“Today well-lived makes every yesterday a day of happiness to remember and every tomorrow a vision of hope.”

I can't wait for a rollercoaster!!   Can u imagine if it's expandable just like steck or even system x, where it comes with a motorized crank (to get to the top) and you can design your own track layout as big as you want?  And klickies can really fit in the roller coaster!

And a ferris wheel!

And carosel!

And bumper cars!

And sky trolley!

Pony rides (ponies harnessed to a carosel-type frame)

and Elephant rides!  (I did that as a kid......scary actually....feels like the box on his back that we ride in is gonna fall off!)

And vendor booths with cotton candy and toys and games!

And a bearded lady! (oh wait, that's circus)

But I really want that ROLLER COASTER!!!
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!

More vehicles!!! :D

What I really want is a wider variety of construction vehicles. Especially a road paver! (believe me I've tried to make one but it's just too hard) :D

Damo :)

 :lol: my feelings exactly!

I was lying awake last night thinking about the sky theme. you could have a set that comes with a small biplane, a set that comes with a hot air balloon, one could come with a couple of hang gliders or parasailers. And then you could have one that was more like the night sky, with glittering stars, and it could have little holes in the baseplate, but instead of plants, you could put sparkling things that look like exploding firecrackers.  ;D

 :lol: This topic is very enlightening, but trying to get PM to see our views & wants is a different matter all together :(! There are some great ideas like the rollercoaster that could be named the County Fair theme complete with domestic farm animal petting zoo, for bb!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

I would love to see a county fair or carnival theme! That would a perfect fit to the Playmobil world, I think.

Yes! Way too many parrots!  :lol: I have at least a dozen, and I didn't but any of them on purpose.

playmobil released a roller coaster in Japan many years ago
it's an ultra rare set

the only time i've seen it on ebay it went over $1,000 USD
there's a video of it on youtube, nothing really exceptional, but it's a must-have (and impossible-to-get) set for collectors who like rides and stuff
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:

Yes, and I would love to get my hands on it. But I would really like to see a new one, plus other rides.
