I keep thinking about adding a new steck tudor house but not in the traditional way. What if we were to create a custom house with all the rare parts that so many of us search for. The stairs, balcony, bell tower, glass windows, shutter windows, signs, etc.....If one DS item had many of the rare parts, we would want to avoid DS parts orders as you could get so much in a simple method. I bet many castle builders could come up with some great designs for the set, it could even be a sort of contest that we all vote on. We could do this with other themes as well, western steck house, system X maybe etc..........

That's a nice idea, Rasputin. :)

Here's some more ideas for DS sets:

-Recreation of the classic medieval furniture with silverware sets.
These seemed to be in stores back then and seem like good furniture sets.

-Blacksmith equipment.
A forge, an anvil, hammers, an apron and everything else a blacksmith might need. A nice little set.

-10 old glass windows.
Not beating around the bush here, just simply a batch of 10 glass windows.
Everyone wants them after all.

-Basic western house.
A western house in neutral colors that can be used for practically anything.

-War horses.
We see plenty of modern horse packs, but they dont fit in very well with historic themes. This pack contains several medieval horses with armor or horse barding.

-Scooter.
Another simple set. There was a green one years ago I believe, and a very nice red one with the ferry. Might be nice to be able to get that red one seperatly, or maybe have one in blue or another appealing color on DS.

What kind of glass windows? You mean steck ones?


The war horses are also a great idea, though I might add that they should also be able to wear existing caparisons.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

The war horses could be classic horses, I didnt mean they need to be a fancy model.  :) Just intended to be horses for knights.

And yep, the old classic steck glass windows.

Maybe the full victorian piano set including the rug, clicky and everything could be a great DS set too considering the rediculous price for it in the second hand market.

Soldier armor.
Plenty of knight armors and knights everywhere, but I'd prefer more soldiers!
What the set could contain:
8x soldier breastplate.
8x soldier helmets (two slightly different designs but somewhat similar.)
2x chainmail "hair."
6x neutral round shield. (like was used often in the 90's.)
1x horn.
4x spear.
2x sword.
2x bow with quiver and arrows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instruments.
A small set including about 10 different instruments of playmobil.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clicky accesoires.
There could be different variations of this for various themes, but the set could always include:
-An assortment of headwear.
-Various neckwear.
-Quite a lot of wristwear.
-several belts for either around the waist or over the shoulder.
-a few basic accesoires for in hands.

This could really provide some variation to spice up your clickies and change their style a bit without having to strip other clickies for it or aquiring more clickies just because of their items.

These retired Specials found their way to be re-released in various ways in the last few years. There are some such as the Karate Guy 4532 which was only reissued as a Pal, and that was many years ago. The Blues Musician 4508 made an appearance in the Train Station Interior 4303 but that set has been gone for years also.

Am I correct that the blister packs were eventually available worldwide?

4506 Vampire---reissued as 4772
4510 Boy & Go-Cart---reissued as Pal & 4917
4517 Dark Knight---reissued as Pal, 4917, and “Back By Popular Demand”
4529 Girl & Bunnies---reissued as Pal and 4911
4534 Temple Knight---reissued as 5824
4539 Mandarin Prince---reissued as 5849
4545 Sea King---reissued as 5823

We need more crusaders, haha! Some blister packs or specials would be great, or for the Add-ons, a set of three and a grandmaster!
