In my own childhood I had myself a Playmobil pirate ship (Playmobil 3750), is still on display in the Playmobil Product Archive. This is now a good 15 to 20 years old version is superior to the current Playmobil pirate booty ship far!
1) The current pirate ship under the keel 5135 has only 2 (!) Wheels under the fuselage at the rear
are attached. The ordinary and accustomed nosewheel drops here simply gone! Instead, there is a factory grinding point!
I could have stayed at least the usual nosewheel expected as it already had the pirate ship 3750 many years ago! It would be better
finally been even a 360 degree rotatable nose wheel, which would have been definitely even an improvement!
So drags the bug in a tour of the ground, the wheels have become significantly smaller under the rear, as usual. On
a looped carpet so that the entire body, more or less, above the ground.
2) Formerly was a bleaching weight with built (3750), which was supplied from the factory in the fuselage. Now you can buy the Sinker EXTRA
to do so because otherwise the ship will not float! The product description is simply wrong here! Yes, the ship floats but ONLY if
you nor the extra dead weight TO BUY. The factory did not swim (!), It capsizes simple! Here the young, a sad
Experience surprise, the first bathing fun with the pirate ship 5135. The lead weight is now outside, under the fuselage
attached ... if the parents no longer find the weight for a swim, it was also the first with the Playmobil bathing.
3) Previously, components such as the anchor, the hook for the crane load, etc. of metal. Today, it's ultra-lightweight plastic! Bravo,
a great idea. An ultra-light plastic anchor can indeed be much better down, as an anchor made of metal, with matching
Own Weight.
On the lack of weight suffers also the duty crane. This has a plastic hook, which was previously made of metal. It
depends not always something on the hook, special is perhaps even next to the ship (?) to where then taken to be? The
To allow duty crane down only with the plastic hook, is hardly possible. Oh yes, the lift crane is always too short, as can be next
the ship hardly record something, because the duty crane simply does not protrude over the side beyond.
4) The guns ... roll on the deck back and forth lost. There were already 20 years ago indentations on deck for the wheels of
Guns ... no longer. Also any other fixture as Playmobil at the Red Korsarensegler 3900 yet
still knows how or were already present in the pirate ship 3750, there is not!
5) fixing the sail ... these are fixed at the top of the bomb, no question. And below? Because the sailing and links
Right easily connected through a single opening with the lower bracket for the sail. Schlicht "impaled" ... Sounds
simple holds, simple ... and is super easy playing repeatedly from! I have from leftover parts of the upper
Sail attachment fashioned parts to fixtures sail well below enstprechend can and permanently and if necessary
nevertheless removable yet again.
6) That the "Dreicksssegel") is foremost sail (below, to the back trunk, no longer attached to rigging, but by a relatively
rigid plastic hook ... which is "hooked" in a round holder. Lasts but unfortunately meager and comes already from when you
the ship moves excessively. The rigging was restricted to the most necessary of all. It looks moderately, quite a few zumahl
no longer used "lost" mounting options on the trunk and on the masts, etc. are available.
7) There was a small factory part that but eh no longer would function because the rigging is only scantily available eh ...
8) Oh by the way there used (Playmobil 3750) times to large pirate ships also again a rowboat with this order can row the boat to the island after the creation of an island sometimes ... no longer exists, must you buy it. From the factory, the pirates must persevere on the pirate ship and starving ...
The Playmobil Pirate Ship 5135 impresses with its beauty at first sight and disappointed at second glance, when the assembly is complete and the game fun to begin.
The Playmobil ships 15 to 20 years ago there were better! I'm honestly very enntäuscht, as an old fan of the brand Playmobil.
The assembly of the ship turns out the rest quite good and relatively quickly. After the assembly instructions are to be used yet ...
The deficiencies listed can be obtained by exchange with other substitute products of Playmobil partly eliminate the plastic parts that are supposed to be made of metal, to buy separately, if need be in the "bay". So I will for example: installing a suitable lead weight in the hull, the rigging extend etc.
