The Alien
Special (#4590)
already gave us a hint of what was coming,
but still, the discovery of an alien race of Little Green
Klickies comes as a great surprise to many collectors and
fans. Especially because Hans Beck - the man who created
Playmobil® - has often stated that Aliens would not fit in
the scope of Playmobil®. However, some things are inevitable, and an Alien Invasion
theme is now being readied to take its place in the Playmobil®
product assortment.

Unlike some of the previously released space themed sets, none of the five new Alien Invasion sets
include a flashing light system. The "Alpha
Power Station" (3280)
would definitely benefit from an extra lighting module tough.
It has plenty of fluorescent crystals and laser canons waiting
to be enlightened.

The "Alien Spider" (3282)
is a great looking space craft. By lack of any bigger Alien
space ships this smaller vessel will have to do as the
cornerstone of the alien space defense.

Two evil troll-like aliens are included with the weird looking
set "Alien Toxiphant" (3283).
Any Alien that tries to steal the crystals will get trapped in
this extra-terrestrial take on meat eating vegetation.
