4678 Musketeer En Garde!

[Gepetto]

Thank you Richard,

Sylvia did jog my memory and I got in fine.  I was just over at Ridge Road and they already have the Dinosaur sets in stock. Their release dates for some of the new figures are:

 March

4670 - Crusader
4672 - Archer


September

4675 - Fireman
4677 - Barbarian Chieftan
4678 - Musketeer
4679 - Santa
4680 - Child with Snowman


No mention of the Gauls and Richard is right, already I am having difficulty finding that Farmhouse (I need to become more familiar with set numbers). Why is it that the prices on some of these items seem too high until they are discontinued at which point we are grateful to get them at (almost) any price?

P.S.  Am I posting in the right place? I am not quite sure how to follow these threads.

Actually this is the 4th Musketeer (all without muskets)

Yeah, there seems to be a disconnect somewhere.

I think Valkyrie might be right with her theory that Playmobil does its research at Blockbuster Video.

Some book I read on the emergence of gunpowder in warfare devoted a few paragraphs to musketeers.  They were better paid than regular troops and tended to be big guys, because the musket in those days was heavy and hard to fire.

Hmmm ...

Thought I'd tease you with one more, Martin ...
(BTW all of Ralf's sets are made from original Playmobil parts, just as they come from the factory.)

I wish Ralf could get a job at Playmobil.
But, I get the weird feeling that they'd murder him Julius Caesar like.

Don't worry Gepetto, the threads often wander off-topic, just like a normal conversation.

If it goes too far off-topic, the moderators can split the thread and create a new one, to make things easier to follow.

Hello, Timmy und Martin ...

But, I get the weird feeling that they'd murder him Julius Caesar like.

Zirndorf is well aware of Ralf Gemein and knows his work quite well! Especially since some of his art adorns their walls. It is anyone's guess what will happen in the future. But, as you have suggested, Ralf's genius certainly has the possibility of threating some of the residents of Klicky Towers! ...

Timmy, I really love your sense of humour and your Deutsch ...

That's the truth, Martin! ...

The only problem that I ever have is finding the other half of a "split" thread ...

All the best,
Richard
