Anyone see new Schleich playsets?

Both sets are great, Schleich did indeed a good job with them!
I hope the other sets will be just as good as these two, especially the one with the two gerbils.

You are completely right, I can think of a couple of reasons...

1) It makes them look cuter ( Schleich, you know )
2) Otherwise they can not both sit on the leaf
3) They don't break their toes so easily with the toes held together there

About paws or feet. I think paws are what dogs and cats and such have, but perhaps some native English-speaking person can help ?

I think they are well trained frogs and can do commando 'sit'

Ohhh!  OF COURSE

I got this message from Minizoo :

* There's a lot of enquiry about the timing of the Schleich new product releases. Here's what we know from our supplier.
 October - Horse, Bayala & K.nights Playsets PLUS 2015 Advent Calendars
 Late Nov - Wildlife Accessories, Bayala Accessories
 Early Dec - Wildlife Playsets

so, - a long wait yet for the waterhole

I think Schleich has been too busy with all the "Exclusives", and lost their long-gained reputation for reliability in release-dates

Thanks Susanne--a long wait indeed.

Haha i really understand it know about the frogs sitting weirdly
Maybe they can not jump like this so they have to be sitting there for ever

It should be here in early December....

MiniZoo is in Australia. Maybe Europe will release early!

It never harms to hope

Hello everyone, I need someones opinion! Should I get the watering hole when it comes out (here in NZ its meant to $300! ) or should I wait for the cheaper waterfall (2016) set to release next year? If the waterfall is too expensive there is always the smaller river which would be good enough to just add some water to my African diorama. Also I prefer the waterfall over the watering hole just because of the height and it looks amazing too me! (however I suppose there would still be a good year to wait) But what do you guys/girls think?

Uhh, it is hard to tell others what to choose.

We often see that when new models are shown here, some love it and some hate it. We focus on different details and have different backgrounds and expectations...that is part of the fun

Also it is a question of how much room you have and of course how much you can or will pay.

And I have not seen them yet. I hope somebody is going to show a lot of pictures

Oh, that´s very expensive!
Since this week some more "Sets 2015" are now available here in Munich in the toy shops:

Set water whole costs 69,99 Euro.
Schleich Playset 42256 Cave - 19,99 Euro
Schleich Set bones 42249 - 3,99 Euro

Yes it is very expensive, the animal nursery (its now retired but my shop still has one left) is $375! Everything is so expensive...
