Thanks for the report, Tim ...

Most of had heard the rumours ... But, this is GREAT NEWS!

And a photo! WOW!

Here's the translation ...

Playmobil - the Romans are coming! ...  :wave:

There are more than 90 new novelties promised by Playmobil in 2006! ...  ;D

For newcomers to Playmobil and faithful fans as well, August offers a special introduction to a new Playmobil theme: the Romans are coming with nine novelty sets! ...  ;D

The highlight of the ancient series is the arena with a diameter of 84 centimeters. The inside of the sturdy circular building is a place for Gladiator contests and races with the chariot. There is a Roman emperor watching the contests from his special viewing box. In this new Roman theme there is also a Roman camp with tent, a Centurion with Legionaires and a Tribune mounted on his horse.  There's also a mobile siege tower, a fire catapult and a floating Roman Galley ship with crew. ... 8}


This is indeed very exciting news, Tim!

Thanks again for bringing it us ... :wow:

All the best,
Richard

Thank you for sharing this wonderful news with us, Tim! :D

It sounds like the fans of the Roman Specials are finally going to get the full range of sets which they have been dreaming about for a long time! The arena certainly looks very impressive. 8-)

Can't wait to see more detailed photos of the sets!  It's all VERY exciting! :yup:

Oh this looks exciting.  Unfortunately.. I would love to see more civilian type sets involved with the Roman theme.. unfortunately it looks like another theme of warriors.  This first set appears lovely.  I can't wait to see everything.

Yes! Civilian sets would really round this off nicely. Let's keep our fingers crossed that they are planned as future updates to the theme. Much of this probably depends on how successful this first series is, so let's hope the kids like it as much as the adult collectors! :)
