Is the Add Ons Stecks something new on the German site?
« on: May 02, 2008, 02:07:21 »
I was going through my monthly check up for what is going to be discontinued and came across some Stecks add ons ?
 7276
7144
7122
Were these allways here and i missed them or are they making their rounds again soon to come to the US once again ? Right now all we have is the SystemX add ons and i have yet to buy any X castle parts.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

7144 and 7122 are long-standing add-ons.  I'm not sure about the other one, that may be new (certainly newer than the other two).

So do you think they may make their way back to the US ?

I do.

If it appears on the German site, it usually appears on the UK and US sites sometime later. I haven't seen the 7267 set appear on the UK site, but I'm not looking specifically for Steck parts.

Hello, Rasputin ...  :wave:

All three of these "Add-Ons"" have been around for about eight years.
7122
7144
7167

If they're "popping up" again, then there's probably a good chance they'll make it across to the USA!

Were these always here and i missed them or are they making their rounds again soon to come to the US once again ? Right now all we have is the SystemX add ons and i have yet to buy any X castle parts.

I just checked the US Playmobil site and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of Steck sets that are stlll available.

All the best,

i mut confess i don't give the add-ons form other families besides the pirates the attention they deserve...  :-[
this thread made me take a closer look.  :o
i loved the 7267 "burgruine" tower - very scotish in its ambience - and the 7857 goldmine - a very easy set to convert into robinson crusoe's cave (i am reading the book for the 3rd time).  :love:
i just hope some customizer could make a robinson's diorama.  :yup:
of all the calssic stories ever written this is the one that couls "be put" into klickies with the least effort - shipwreck, palisade, guns, food, island, friday, etc. - are all available with no need to transform parts.  ;)

GREAT IDEA!

A Robinson Crusoe diorama would be a really cool thing to do!

About a half dozen years ago, Bart De Smet's Collectobil held their first (and only) customizing contest. The Playmobil community was still very new, and Bart thought a contest might help to bring together a few interested Playmobil fans.

Bart's suspicions were correct and the response to the customizing contest was overwhelming!

One of the contestants was a new Playmobil customizer by the name of David Hamer. One of David's entries was Robinson Crusoe and Friday.

I looked through my old files and found a photo!

All the best,
Richard

Dont forget the 7785 Red Framework house .

I was just wondering if these would make it back around or it was some sort of inventory liquidation that might only be available in Germany. If they are going to be in the US again are the molds still being used or is it just a lot of parts left over ?
I sure hope Playmobil intends on keeping the Steck castle parts flowing . :crossed:

Which leads to the next question:

Where are they now?

Breathes new life into the saying: Old collectors never die, they just fade away. 

On another forum, somebody was circulating a thread from 2003, and the line-up resembled a graveyard of vanished faces. 

Do people get bored, move on?  Do their kids grow up and they lose the passion / camouflage?  A new forum draws them off?  (There's only like six forums in the world, though, right?)

It's nice to know we have Richard to count on to never quit!
