¿Is Steck Dead?

[Andy R]

I’ve been seeing conflicting information on the future of steck, so I’d like a clear answer. ¿Will there be new steck sets? I found a box of them in my fork’s storage, but if steck is actually dead, I’m considering off-loading the lot and converting to SystemX.

Apart from odd items which appear in the DS catalogue and occasional (very occasional?) appearances elsewhere, Steck is no longer produced.  If you want to get rid of your Steck, then you'll find it very easy.  (Indeed, I can send you my address and you can send it all to me!    )

Or me!
Just Kidding.
But yes, as far as we can see into the future, steck is dead.
But there may still be some hope to its return, thanks to the Paymo Collectors Club!

But Geobra has not as far as I know, confirmed anything.
I believe the hope that steck will return
Is really us hoping that we can win over Playmobil's good side and get them to reproduce it.

hey people why you say steck i dead nowone knows yet ,perhaps in 5 years new steck castles improved will come to production , andi if you want to buid castles with steck you can there are plenty cheap steck on ebay ,with systemx  what castles do you want to make because you refer to a replacement

Yeah, its like scientific theories. Except backwards,
You ca never disprove it, but can prove it!

  I think it could only be answered by Geobra. But couldn't that be something to do for the Club? Bring us back, the Steck!

 hmmm   i guess one day it will come back that's what they are doing isn't it reusing old moulds all the time , they are experementing with other systems now first they started with systemx after with this new clip system how it's called ,steck was to production for almost 30 years 27 if i'am correct  

[Tiermann]

That new clip system is like a halfway made Steck. For modularity steck really is the best thing they've come up with for buildings. I can't believe the system x wall pieces use less plastic or are easier to make than a steck wall section, so  i don't see any financial reason for hem to stick with them. I do see where larger pieces like the recent castles can make sense economically for them during production. In the long run though I think the lack of modularity hurts them. Once you get one of the new castles there isn't much else you can do with it. With steck you could add on additional sets, creating return sales.

oh i haden't thought about the economical reasons !  i don't think this is the problem here they are making so many new sets that for being made they have to spend money on the moulds ,and if it has more plasick it would be more expensive too ! these new castles are not that expensive are they ? what's the price of the big one?

What do you mean by dead? Among collectors it is very much alive.
