We should keep in mind set for expanding current buildings. They did a really good job with the most recent Shop add-on. I would like to see a set of stairs and another floor above to expand the possibilities.

I agree. A wall and office expansion for the western fort and a horizontal expansion for the hotel are in order :yup:.

I know that these will probably never be released, but...

1. Cape and Cloak Collection - a set of different coloured cloaks and capes, some full length, some mid-length, and some short capes.

2. Medieval Weapon Lot - a set with a large amount of weapons (maybe no armour being included will make this cost less), example: 10 ordinary swords, 5 longswords, 5 daggers, some pikes, some halberds, some battleaxes, some war axes, (some warhammers, if only they existed!), some flails, or any combination really.

3. Medieval Armour Lot - it'd be nice to buy armour and weapons separately, to spread out the cost; here should be some normal-sized plates and arm pieces, and also some blank silver shields, like those in the Knight's Market Stand.

4. Medieval Helm Lot - some great helms, salets, large helms, and basically any sort of playmobil helm that's offered; I think it'd be cool if there were a few different helm lots, some with older style Medieval helms and others with full-face helms, parade, tournament, or jousting helms.

5. Another Medieval Tournament Equipment Set - some lances, full helms, horse caparisons and armour, jousting shields, some fanciful plumes and helm feathers.

6. A Crusade Expansion Set - like the three figure sets, but with three Teutonic Knights, maybe with different arm and leg styles, and some era-specific helms, and maybe the "leader" could be a grand master sort of character.

7. A System-X Expansion Set - I’d like an expansion for the Eagle Castle, though I guess it’s too old now.

8. Medieval denizens - peasants, smiths, carpenters, maidens, squires, pages, labourers, hunters, craftsmen, masons, monks, Medieval-style nuns, farmers galore!

That’s all for now, but there are a lot more things I’d like to see!

Thank you! I fear that they may never be released though! It does seem that Playmobil's Medieval themes are moving toward fantasy themes, which is sort of cool and depressing at the same time. I wish that I had had a chance to get some of the Medieval denizen folks before they were discontinued.  :(

Okay, so now that the new DS/Add-ons catalog has been revealed let's move forward with our next round of ideas.  ;)

Sounds good to me!

So do we want to try and decide on categories this time? My suggestions would be something like this:

steck buildings
western
figures
animals
victorian
police/rescue
vehicles
accessory sets

We could suggest various categories we would like to pick something from, vote in a top five-ten categories, and then pick one thing from each category.

That sounds great to me! I'm still drooling over the new items. It's amazing how many old items are now available!

At this point, Playmobil doesn't include the original figures with exception of the reissue of the Hussar Guards 5580. This set was made up of mostly figures in the first place, so this must be why this set is the exception. They generally are going to issue the key component from the old sets we request.

I know how frustrating it must be for fans of rescue, animals, etc which haven't had a chance to see your  favorite requests come to life. I would also love to see the Gnus and Mountain Goats available once again. They would sell like hot cakes :D
