Well you know me, i would gladly send you the klickies, keep what ever you do not want and we could split up the cost  ;)

Thanks for the offer Ras. Taking a really close look, the only thing I really want (about five of) is that round red wolf shield, which I think is a new part. The part number for that shield would be handy.

The wolf knight figures themselves are not different enough from those I already have, indeed one looks like they're reusing the legs from the Kiss knight.

Here is a comparison of Lego's older shield and Playmobil's new one

Personnally, I like the figures. Specially the wolfknights. IMHO they're one of the best Knights-family ever made by Geobra.
I am also quite taken by the ground - those cobblestones look lovely. Wonder if there's a way to use them for my castle  ???

I definitly would like a set ... for the right price though  ;)

Maybe a grassed area surrounded by cobbles, but the external shape is a problem.

well the rock is very easy to remove



The walls match stecks very well



it leaves you with an odd sized hole that is not quickly filled with steck square shapes . I am sure some modifying could be easily done



It does look nice thought and i think would be worth the effort

Thanks for the extra pictures, Ras.  I had thought that the cobbles were a separate piece and was imagining them in front of the castle or in a courtyard.  Certainly, though there are possibilities - maybe a tall watch tower?

Great review and photos Rasputin, I am glad to see the rocks come off so easily. It does look like it would make a nice watchtower or ruin, this is the beauty of reviews in that I had already written this set off but now I going to look at it again!

Dear Rasputin,

Many, many thanks for a fantastic review -- the pictures are great!

Like many others, I'm not so keen on the castle/shield itself, but the figures and accessories are terrific!

I already have a decent-sized body of Wolf Clan knights/soldiers, but more will be quite welcome. And the round shield is a nice new piece.

I'm most enthused about the 'other' knights and some of their accessories: the simple blue-and-yellow-quarters shields and bodies are very nice. I'm glad to see Playmobil using a new blazon that is closer to those actually used in the Middle Ages. Some of the dragon/Celtic blazons of the last few years are great for fantasy, but not so much for historical accuracy. But then, of course, Playmobil isn't designing to be historically accurate -- they're producing what they think will sell.

And is the blue pennant really a dark(-ish) blue, to match the colour of the Lion/King's knights? If so, this is something I've hoped for a while would appear: it will make creating banners for custom groups using that shade of blue much easier!

Anyway, thanks again for sharing all your great pictures.

Now I'll just have to wait for all the part numbers to appear on PlaymoDB... And then send in a parts order that will get me deeper into debt  :P !

Cheers,

AndrewL
