New Exclusive Set 4055 - Farm Mega-Set

[Martin Milner]

Is this the biggest and most expensive set Playmobil has ever offered?  I'm not a farm collector, but I'd like to see this big set start a trend and pave the way for a large Roman forum, Roman villa, Roman fort, and a Celtic village.  Yes, I've posted this wish before, but I've a one track mind! 

I feel the exact opposite, I'd rather see this set broken down into half a dozen much smaller, affordable sets that can be bought over a period of time. It'd still add up to the same in the end, but wouldn't feel like swallowing a whole watermelon in one gulp.

yeah.. and when u buy egypt stuff.. here its reduced allready:

anno-time.de but i still think its cheaper when u buy in uk as lots of germany shops still calculationg with an exhange rate from 1.5x even its only 1.2.. there is no reason to buy anything over germany or so... when u live in uk.. except u gt nice ebay offer!!!

I think it is a nice set for everyone interested in the farming topic...

...and as always, they place it for a mad price two weeks or so to reduce it to 130-100€.
Then you got a lot of stuff for your money...

In the USA, I think that huge farm set would retail at the same price as Castle 3268--around $179.

I'm not sure they're all farm parts, Tim.  Some look like they're from the System-X family house and others from the airport series.  A bit of creative re-assembly.

That's exactly what it is.  I love the mix of different system X parts, very inspirational.  I can't wait to see the parts list on this monster.  I would like to try to replicate the big open out building for the combine.  I have a lot of farm equipment that needs protection from the Playmo-weather.

Anybody notice that this poor farm family lives right underneath what appears to be a hay loft.   
I would think that would get kind of dusty.  *aaahhhh-chooooo!*

Oh wow, thanks for the link.  The pics are much closer and the back of the box photo is making me begin to really love this set.....durnit.

Why must I fall for the exclusives. 

There is nothing really new here....it's just so well executed.  I am quite drawn to the tan colored bench and the shed roof porches on the farmhouse, it's just lovely.

Thank you from me, too, Tomplay.  That larger picture is really useful for the extra detail.  How they've used System-X in the farmhouse is really clever, and the farmhouse I notice is modern yet traditional in it's layout, large breakfast kitchen and semi-open plan rooms.

The barn gives some idea for a fire station, if I had the space and money.
