Plasticville U.S.A. / O/S Plasticville anything new soon?
February 27, 2014, 09:31:33 PM
I just looked at the 2014 Catalog for Plasticville and there appears to be nothing new and none of the missing older pieces have returned.  I know tooling can be expensive but does Bachman ever plan on growing this or increasing interest in Plasticville.  I think we keep seeing the same items for the last 5 years.  There are a lot of people who grew up with Plasticville and still holds a special place for us.  If you can't afford to do new tooling, can't you at least bring back some of the older items that you have not made for decades?  For some of those items you only need to retool a single wall to make the piece.  Come on Bachmann it's about time.

I have not seen the sheds with the Turntable yet.  I know it says it has a crankable turntable.  Is it like the Atlas Turntables where you could buy a seperate motor to replace the manual crank?

I keep looking for Bachmann to announce some of the older Plasticville items from the 50's that they have not remade in quite a while such as the Hardware store.  I would think they would still have most of that tooling but maybe it has degraded. 

Bach Man can you share with us if there is a possibility that we can get these older items back in the line again?

Doing a quick scan I see we are missing:
Hardware & Pharmacy Store
Corner Store
Add a floor
Bungalow
5 and 10 cent store
Gas Station
Multiple Churches
Super Market
New England Ranch
Post Office
TV Station
Colonial Home

I am sure there are some I left off the list but I would like to see many of these return to the line.  So the big question Mr. Bach Man is....

Does the tooling still exist and if so when can we get some of these back with some exciting colors.
