WHAT'S NEW FROM PLAYMOBIL?

[Richard]

Hey Richard would you be so kind to collect few of the new target bubbbles for me?
Swap or paypal what ever you prefer if its not too much trouble of course
Unboxed in a bubble envelope to Greece will do fine for me even if i have to wait a month to get them.

Cheers
Panos

Hello, Panos ...

I have left the United States mainland and I'm now about a thousand miles away on the Island of St. Thomas where there are NO Playmobil at all ...

Since I will be in the Virgin Islands for the rest of the Winter, you might ask Cap'n Henry if he would check the Target stores near his home to see if there are any "bubbles" left.

Sorry, my friend ... I guess that I should have bought a bunch of them ...

All the best and good luck,
Richard

@ panos: The blister sets are sold in the zirndorf fun park, too. So maybe it is easier if you have contacts to the german board (while the us price still seems to be unbeatable. )

yes henry the price is unbeatable

@Richard thanks anyway

Cheers
Panos

can u give me an exchange rate pound to euro martin? When I see the prices I guess its cheaper to order a clicky at DS than to buy one in UK...In Germany its about 2,00  to 2,20 Euro a special which is to my mind a good price.

The exchange rate is about 1.47 € to the £, I generally use 1.5 for quick calculations, and it's about $2 to the £.

So yes, cheaper to buy direct from DS.

WINTER IS HERE - WHAT'S NEW?

The only new sets for Garden Wargaming that we have seen are a couple of Specials.

See attachments

[GaiusIulius]

I will have to look for a new catalogue then  . The babarian looks nice, but a musketeer without is musket is something I will never undersatnd 

[Justindo]

I like these two new specials a lot!  The Musketeer will nicely complement the other two Musketeers and the Barbarian should be another formidable opponent for the Romans.  His fur cape and horned headdress are very unique, although I might use the latter for my Indians and give him a more traditional helmet.

Thanks for the link, GaiusIulius ...

I just bought these four sets at Target this week for $2.99USD each.

While Plamo is doing these 2-klicky sets, I would like to see a set of one Blue Coat soldier (with white pants) and one Red Coat soldier.  Or maybe a Blue Coat and one of the new Conquestdores (Spanish soldier?) plus accessories.

We all would like to see a bit ore millitary Hugh, but playmobil is still somehow a toy

... but a musketeer without is musket is something I will never understand 

Maybe the geobra designers have the impression that the musketeers were a crack fencing unit dealing with secret missions and especially transports of jewelry from watching the films based on Dumas novel.

What i really do not understand is why they gave him boots in this color.

Yes, the recent Playmobil fashion for boots any colour other than black or brown is quite repellant.

yeah that have to be worked on, though I like the films very much 

[henry_martini]

It is not even that they have no better parts or color patterns.

I dared to try to copy the original (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musketeer).
