I know Playmobil goes by weight for pricing of items so I am sure that is how they help determine this value. 

Is that really the case? The Bronze Knights didn't weigh much more than specials, and they were overpriced comparatively. The Egyptian sets also seemed more expensive to me. :(

Well, DS orders.  I am sure they calculate box size as well into the factor to take into account shipping charges.  (I am still amazed at the COLOSSAL waste of the 3030 box compared to the contents!)

Ah, alright. And it does certainly seem strange how wasteful the boxes have been lately.

I think I saw a budget bin of playmobil recently with one wolf knight in it quite a lot, the one with a brown beard and an open helmet. He was 3 euros instead of 8.

Still didnt get the guy though, would be another faction and I already have plenty of factions. Same store also sold a superset of dragon knights for 6 euros. I am sad to say that even for that price I would not buy it since it comes with a hideous large rock formation in a useless shape.

Come to think of it, those wolf knights pretty much resemble the special plus idea. They have just as much content, aside from the guy with the catapult.

I don't know if I would buy it for that price either. I've not bought any of the Bronze Knights, and that one is one of the worst I think. :lol:

Unfortunately, that does seem like it could be true. I'd hate to see them be priced as highly as the Bronze Knights...
