It has almost exactly SIX YEARS since this list was first posted on the web.
5 September 2002 to 11 September 2008

Look at the ones in RED. These are the ones that have been made during the past six years.

Which ones will be made in the next six years?


THE LONG LIST


This List was posted on another forum way back on the 5th of September 2002

5. Aladdin and the Lamp well, they did the lamp .... 8}


EGYPT and the DESERT:
1. Camel Caravan (bring it back) can't we count as a part of the Egyptian theme? ... ::)

It's a wonderful list, Richard.

The only thing in my list is that it is (as well as I) too much Western civ..

Here's a conversation between Knightmo & Tim, that brings something that I miss in my list. And in my hall of interests, too. Maybe if Playmobil produced something it'd change ...

Knightmo & Tim:
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2478.msg28440#msg28440

I like your "Geographical" list because it can reach the Pacific ... (Easter Island 8} ), Australia ... It'd be interesting to have giant turtles of the Galapagos. The American pre-Colombian civilizations. And India.
