you'll be surprised to know that there is a fifth version of castle 3450 and a 3445 prison tower in 1992/93 produced (and probably sold) only in those years....

fourth version was also in stores until 1992/93 but produced in 1987/88. (there was also a 3446)

again the difference on the box can be seen in the cornered (1987/88) and round (1992/93) playmobil logo letters!!!

all the simple houses just reach version three produced in 1984/85 and sold until 1991/92...

i have a 3446 fourth version that i bought from a greek seller from ebay.
 are you sure it was produced in 1987 because it says 1991
 the difference can be seen not from the letters only but from the number the 3rd one is in white letters and the fourth or fifth perhaps in black letters and look the letters,  playmobil in the front are corned letters but in the side they are round

hmmm strange about the letters...now that i read the introduction to the third edition again, it says that the dates indicated in each verion is the production period.

so, the fourth version 3446 was produced from 1987 to 1993. and the set number on the box is in black.
