I got another 3 x 3860 in Salem on the way home from seeing Gepetto and collecting my Ghost Pirates. Got a few other things there too, including the Egyptian ship. It's been quite a blue box day!

It's been a very blue box 2 months for me also , the bluest ever in fact  . i have bought 12 mediaval houses- blue, yellow and red, a total of 150 mediaval klickies - green dragons and black lions foot soldiers basically , a tailors green house complete, a smithie complete house set, 3 x 3667 castle, 1 x 3668 castle, 3 siege towers, 6 green dragons , 1 barons tower, 3 weapon stands , 1 vegetable stand, one museum red roof ( very rare !!!), additional roofs , loose steck walls ( lots) . And tomorrow I am getting over the last two boxes of mediaval stuff I  have ( 1978- today) from my storage facilities which are about 50 km away. Yeap i actually consider i invested in klickies the past 8 weeks !!!!! But i havent bought any apart from Romans 2 years ago and Vikings round the same time. I am starting to set them all up tomorrow actually ( got days off work till january)  and pictures will follow shortly, all the stuff before it is set !!!! i cant tell ou people how i feel last time i set up my mediaval collection which account for 70% of all my Klickies was in the late 90s.......

Hi Giorinetto 

   From the lists you are providing this is going to be quite an impressive set up. I love seeing the collections of people who have been at it for so long 

Hi Martin

   It also sounds like you are stocking up on a lot of classic Medieval sets and ones with the classic look. Now with more room I do hope you are able to set them all up for pictures as well, when you shipment arrives that is.

   There must be some medieval collection bug about as I too was able to pick up some nice deals on classic sets. I think in the last month I bought 3 used 3666 castles @ very reasonable prices.

That is indeed going to be a fantastic set up Georginetto! The style of the Black Lion knights is still my favourite, I count most of these klickies as men-at-arms, and only full helmets and visored helmets as true knights. 3668 is not a castle set btw, but a great jousting practise set, with a great mix of figures and accessories, which I'd buy a dozen of if I could get them right now. Did you mean 3666?

Ras, we have a little more space now, but as I don't have a dedicfated Plkaymobil room yet I'm still limiting my set ups. I hope to manage one big castle (probably 3667) for now, with attackers maybe arriving from a smaller watchtower. Not sure yet, we're still only settling in.

The crossbow ballista from 5860 is also used in the Dragon Knight towers 4836 and 4836. I spotted them in the mini-catalog that came with my Ghost Ship (via Gepetto).

Martin, thanks for your review!  I saw this set at Toys 'R Us but passed on it, but your review is making me reconsider it.

Giorinetto, that's quite a purchase!  I can't wait for your pictures!

Wow!  I recently purchased the last two Medieval House Add-On sets I could find online at a reasonable price, plus one blue house, one red house, and one yellow house, and I thought I went overboard!  Twenty plus Medieval houses is a HUGE village!
