A problem in Playmobil Medieval production?

[Gustavo]

Oh, and Gustavo; you're wrong about MacGayver when you said you were kidding. Macgayver is a big kid; I only wish I was more like him

I wasn't exactly wrong ... I was only being -- or trying to be -- "polite" . I know you guys for too little time to say things straight[forward] like this ...

& He seems to agree with you completely that my joke was about the truth about him ... I'm happy about it, too. Actually, you, him and Socrates make quite a team! ...

I would say the Playmobil Romans are VERY ACCURATE. 

Except for tha fact that human beings' heads aren't completely round ...
And they miss a nose! It's horrible! Roman legionaires WITHOUT A NOSE!!!


I believe I don't have to say that I'm completely joking here, but, once this board is read by guests ...

I guess many people are very happy with whatever Playmobil produce in the Knights theme, as long as it carries a shield, wears something recognisable as armour, and wields a big weapon!

However, I agree with you, Martin, that sometimes there's little complaint about things that we might wish different.

&, well, I'm bitter too, about having missed the '90s medieval collection
& more than that, the late '70s steck houses (specially Tailor's House & the Jagerhoff Inn!!!)

But I'll have to live with it ...

& move along.

But I'd like to have more real dialogue with geobra Brandstätter. REAL dialogue, not the "I hope they're hearing me" ...
Maybe I'll try to go into Klickywelt forum, although I can't say a line in German ...

It's a bit of a delusional wish, but I'd like to say: "please, REcontinue '70s medieval steck houses, '90s civil medieval guys, Victorian & Vikings, pleeeeease!!!" ...

 
 

 

Cheers Bogro,
& cheers all!

I have to agree with Rasputin that the early figures were just too simplistic for my tastes. When I look back and wonder why I was not hooked before it is easy when I see these early figures, that is one of the reasons I was drawn to Warhammer was the quality of there sculpting and detail. However, I am happy to say that I am pleased with the current state of evolution and detail.

I think there's a good case to be made for Playmobil bringing back som eof the older structures - the tailors house, bakery, inn and blacksmith for instance. There must be some market since they came out with the blue house after the red one. If those sell decently at all then it would make sense to continue with other older sets as part of a Classics series. They do it with the vehicles after all. The other house styles would probably sell better than the colored houses actually, since they have unique features that make them playable as a toy.

...and dont forget the yellow one which came after the blue one...
 
next to this I completely agree with you, Tim, it would be a good time to restart the good old houses...

I too vote to return to the medieval 'Old House' theme. the problem with the new houses is that they are empty.  I reccommend seperate sets with towns people and furniture to make the new houses sellable no matter what their color is.  Also by adding towns people for the house sets, Castle sets sold are given a reason to exist.  I would to have a village or two filled with the different medieval buildings and towns people.  And many of the accessories to give a Castle and village that 'lived in' look.  I would also like to see Playmobil re-release the market stands with 1 for fish, meat and poultary, one with vegetables, and one with bakery goods. And as I saw in a diorama with the big barrel and towns men sitting at a table and benches drinking beer.  I would love to build these villages.

I am sure there were reasons why PM stopped making these sets, but now there is a couple of new generations who want these towns and villages.
