New USA Target-Sets 5827-5832, 5836, 5838, 5842, and...4775(!)

Hi all,
I just picked up the small sailboat, 4444, from Target today..
It is real cool! Does anyone know what kind of material the sail is made from?..I want to make a non-battle damaged one.
It looks like it may even sail..it may need a small keel for that though.

Best regards,
Jimbo

That's a great looking pirate set.  I've been wondering when it would come out.  How much did that one cost?

I've also wondered what type of material Playmobil fabric elements are made out of.  Almost seems like some sort of thick fabric that's been starched.

Just out of curiosity - does anyone know the prices of these sets?
I am very much interested in 5830, 5831, 5832 and 5836.

I am pretty sure that each of those sets is $9.99 at Target - I saw some of them there the other night.  I will be visiting another Target in the near future and this time I will bring a pen with me!

That's right.  All of the above-mentioned sets were $9.99.  My Target also had the new pirate dinghy for $16.99, the set with the new red dragon for $19.99 and the roman arena (5837) for $39.99.

I'm not sure if anyone had mentioned it yet but set 5831 seems to have a new cape piece (at least it's new to me).  There is a little knob piece on the back that a weapons clip can attach to, so you can hang axes or shields from it.  I'll try to get a picture of it up tonight. 

Oh and I still need to get those set instruction images for you Heather, sorry for the wait.

Hi Kelly!  Thanks for the confirmation on that and the additional info - my aging brain is not retaining all of the prices.

$16.99 is an excellent price for the 4444 set and I urge anyone with an interest in Pirates or boats to go get it immediately.

Thank you Martin, I am off to Target!

Regarding the horse/saddle mounted quiver etc. - They have introduced a new piece with this series I haven't seen before - its a small hook with a clip on it. Basically the hook fits over any of the small round pegs - such as the one on the bandolier that holds the quiver, or on belts that holds the sword scabbard piece. The clp part fits the shield handle and weapons - anything made to fit in a Klicky hand. The saddle part is the circus saddle with a new piece that clips on top of the saddle handle . The new piece has the small round pegs one on each side and one at the top. So it potentially can have 3 hook pieces holding any number of things. I hope to have some photo time tomorrow and I will take a few of the new parts and how they work. Lots of potential there I think.

The hook-clip isn't all that new, Tiermann. I've had several in Knights sets such as the 3319 Dragon knights, it's part number 30 24 7320 on Playmodb. The saddle with pegs is new though, and explains how the connections are made.
