The Victorian Theme of course  ...

Couldn't agree with you more.

I really would love to see a sort of "lost city" - theme.
Without some sort of heroes and villains; but more like archeologists and natives style.
That would be really great.

hihi - and a on-line game ... sort of MMORPG - hihi
can't wait for that!

aztecs and spanish conquistadors in central/south america

it'd be kind of cruel though

You know what else would be cool? Clouds. Like maybe cloud/sky looking baseplates to play with a sky related theme. Airplanes, hot-air balloons. Maybe it sounds weird, but it might be fun for kids, and it would be good for making dioramas. Think fighter planes, Amelia earhart. It would be an easier way than having to hang each airplane from string and try to keep them from moving. Just a thought. maybe it's stupid; I don't know.   

This is AWESOME idea! ... I'd never think of that! That's why we need girls around!

BAT: dont have one
PARROT: too MANY!!!!!!  

anyone think we have too many parrots???

I have a lot of parrots! o/
(And remark that I don't have a big collection ... )

They should allow collectors to freely trade parrots for whatever other small thing ... I'd like to have many more rats, for example ... If I could change each parrot I don't need for two rats it'd be great! (Even one rat a parrot ...) Maybe we should take this idea to the Collectors' Club!

Maybe some other exotic birds?? I too do not have a huge collection and the number of parrots I have, however, is expanding super fast, as if the only bird in the pirate world is parrot. Rats or probably turtles would be better.

I like the idea of a "sky theme"-  I'm picturing Victorian Era steampunk aeronauts...   

Though, I think a country fair theme would be great- Animal exhibit, food and game stalls, ferris wheel-  But isn't this more of a US/Canadian thing?

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

Hey Luis,
The roller coaster in pm would be a great idea 
Can you post the link of youtube ? I can't find it ?

It probably is, but I would think the rest of the world would be familiar with it through hollywood. After all cowboys and indians are totally american!

I think the main reason why Playmobil hasn't released a carousel is b/c the figures can't bend/arch their arms to hold the horse poles
with the ferris wheel that would be no problem I guess (poles would be horizontal)

for you all to see that this set ACTUALLY exists

btw Mobison, I LOVE your avatar - I think PM should release a special edition figure as a tribute to the king of pop (r.i.p.)
