I really like the looks of the 4611 Guard on the Spanish site!

Hi  :wave:

   That is a nice not so old special I do not remember in the stores or I was not collecting at the time . The bible showed it as an 03-05 . Any members in the UK need anything in the US, I could use a dozen of these  ?

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I already picked up a bunch of those off eBay (GRRR), but it's a really useful figure for customising uniforms, and I'd certainly grab more if they came to hand.

The guy's hair is an odd dark gray that I don't recall seeing anywhere else.

Hey, Ras:  he's also available (or will be in February) from Playmobil Canada: attractive older gentleman soldier  ;)  - that's a bit closer to home.

Interesting note:  the url for the Playmobil Canada website starts with "playmobilusa"    :hmm:

Hi Indianna  :wave:

  Thanks for the tip. I did not look at the Canadian site. It is a bit closer and probably be cheaper shipping as well. Do we have any Canadians in here who need any thing from the US ?

   As far as the Playmobil-USA not being able to get these new Specials in this is not a new problem. Last year they did not import many new sets and they even advertised their release dates in the catalogs. I would now not be surprised if some of items that are new with future release dates never show up. I would of course have to call with my oh so friendly comments to the appropriate department.

Martin did a great review of 4611 back in September 2007.

It's well worth taking a look HERE.

So I got the new US catalog with a DS order (red house, 5 dwarves, and magician's lab!  :love:) and the specials are all boring repeats.   :'(
