THANKS FOR THE PICTURES RICHARD!!!
 :o
The new sets look ASWOME!
I really like the new Knights, even if they are system X...
Lots of cool things from other sets.
The wooden fence in the Japanese Zoo could be used for us non peacful types... ;) (It would make a good wall.)
Thank you again Richard!

Thanks for the link to the new products, Richard  :wow:! The major change I noticed there, is the update concerning the bathing suit figures interior frame, & the traditional old Klicky skeleton frames  :o!

Our concern is that the new knights aren't even System X, WOT.

With the Spanish Lighthouse, Egyptian Pyramid and other sets Playmobil are using a clip system to hold their buildings together. It's very hard to get apart without risk of damage to the building, and almost entirely unmodifiable. The DragonLand fantasy castles, and these new Medieval Castles, look like they've now abandoned System X for this Clip system.

Thanks for the link Richard.  A mongol egg and a mongol special?  That is sweet and hopefully the precursor of a whole theme.  Love the zoo as well.  Something to look forward to.

The new castles do look good with lots of Play possibilities, it's just such a shame they couldn't make them with one of the modular building systems so we could incorporate new features in our existing castles.

I like the 4887 Fairy & St Nick blister, hope we get those in the US soon!

I never liked system X much and never bothered buying the system X castles though I admit they do look nice . It seems the new castles have a more simplified approach to sets, one could say the system X was an attempt to make the buildings more challenging and more complex , seems it failed and returned to a  simpler design... I dont like the idea of not being able to pull them apart easily and modify and add extras etc  and miss all the great bespoke desings people have created like Richard's Castle  :wow:  . I have mixed feelings whether i should buy the new dragon sets or buy more steck. though i admit these sets with the new dragons look very nice !!! Probably end up buying both i guess but steck is and wil be always my favourite and I need some more ....  :love: :love: :love: :love:

Hmmm, I don't much like the idea that you can't take them apart easily... :hmm:

WoT, I call this "clip system" faux Steck! It can be an interesting building system if the "male" connectors are filed a bit before assembly. Proper filing allows easy dis-assembly and also holds the parts together a lot like real Steck.
