Really, so if they made a re-released 7128 Klicky 12 pack with all the dated outfits and accessories you would be happy that we all spent countless time in our attempt to negotiate dialog with Geobra for such events to even take place?? Come on, you were there. Lets not be satisfied with mediocrity

That depends on what you call mediocrity.
Personnally - I really love the Museum, the baby-blue church. Both of them enough to want them, even though the church is definitly not my theme.
I've been trying to get my hands on the advertising column for ages (the one I have is split and is missing it's golden top). 
The Husars are nice too. Had my interests been there, I would have bought multiple sets of them.

As for the "dated outfits and accessories" - these do represent a awefull lot of happy childhood memories for this mediocre man. Perhaps "too old" man for you. I am still trying to get some of those sets back and complete again. Just for memory sake.

So, am I being mediocre, because I like these sets?
Let me be mediocre then.
But what makes that you then?
Who are you to tell me what's mediocre and what isn't?
I do find that remark rather insulting!

I didn't quite understand this, Rasputin, though I wasn't offended by it. I wonder if Geobra have shown any interest in issuing another set just of Klickies (like 7128), in response to the suggestions of enthusiasts like us? Mind you, I doubt there would be universal agreement on what the 12 should be....

No, a statement of the sort "I do not care what geobra makes" was what I was referring to.

 The sets are OK, the museum is the best one by far as it has so much to it. The column if you really need one are on auction sites for not much money. I think there are so many fighting knight and fighting pirates and fighting spy, space, the list goes on and on that we do not really need more soldiers. We as collectors have been complaining about not having enough civilians from any era but going out on a limb for geobra is risky. Who wants to get stuck with 100,000 unsellable peasant sets.

The school I too will get as I can just paint them  :-\. The recent house with less parts was around $20-ish so I sure will be watching to see if Geobra scalps us. I now wish I never painted any medieval houses as they made 4 colors eventually, would have helped had Geobra said something.

I was refering to the four mentioned sets.
But even if I wasn't ... that's me!

a lot of talk was about why geobra made this set with such easily obtainable elements. Geobra has pioneered in the development of sophisticated molding technology that why give us such dated parts that are everywhere. Why not make the same set with interesting rare parts. Such as the hair. how many jagged hairs does one need. Now lots of non-hat ones or modern legs. But all this was just to up-date the set not really use it for a submission for voting. I think more people wanted a religious pack of monks.

That museum looks awesome!

When these sets are offered, are their parts usually available through DS too? And does anyone know if the half-timber buildings are ever cheaper through DS orders than buying the sets? I really want of these Medieval houses!

Very nice selection, especially the western school house.  I've wanted that one for a long time.   :wave:

The parts are available from DS but it's more expensive to make one up that way than to buy the set. It's also difficult to get all the parts at any one time.

I am really glad the museum is coming, there are parts there that I really want and are very useful for castle builders. I'm wondering about the school set - it may not be in the blue but some other color.

I hope the school comes in a neutral natural color and it has the important accessories, bell, small bell w/gavel and I could use the base plates for a lot of the building we already have.

I sure want to find out about the klickes, wouldn't it be the first time in a classic edition?
