Fantastic review, once again! I haven't had a chance to see close up, in-depth photos of the 5300, it looks like a wonderful set! :)

I have been looking forward to your review ever since you mentioned doing it a few days ago!  Your pictures and commentary are perfect and do this wonderful set justice.  ;) Thank you so much. 
I will be anxious to see what you do to expand and customize your other 5300.  Let me know if you need any extra parts, I may be able to help you out on that score.   :)

I'm very impatient with new sets. I usually start opening them in the car on the way home from the shop :) )

Or before!  :P

Great review :)  (though we disagree on it being the best set ever!)


That last pic with the couple is... BRILLIANT!  :love:

congratulations on getting your first mint 5300. your review was great and a pleasure to read. Hopefully one day geobra realizes its sets like these that made the playmobil brand so popular. The design, building system, colors, everything about this set is simply toy genius. I keep my fingers crossed that Geobra re-releases this and all the complimentary sets one day, in classic normal colors.

Thank you for your detailed and excellent review. I agree with you this is the best set ever made.

I have a question...how can you tell that it is the "3rd version?" I know there was a difference in the family room wallpaper at some point. I have this same set. I'm assuming it's the 3rd version, since I purchased it shortly before it was discontinued. But I would be interested to know how you officially can tell between all three versions.

Thanks and congratulations on your magnificent new house!

Thanks for the review! I bought one secondhand a few weeks ago. I was going to complete it and re-sell it but I'm kind of attached to it.  :-[

I'm wondering that too. Mine is probably also the 3rd version because it was too expensive for a gift, so I saved for years to buy it.
