¿Is Steck Dead?

[playmo1989]

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

 
not produced any more

Even if its not produced any more, there is so much steck on ebay to keep our hunger satisfied!!!

Ok, having reviewed all the replies to date, I have decided to keep my steck for the time being, and maybe use them for a smaller outpost or something…

wise decision!!!

I think Playmobil will continue to use Steck ocasionally for small ruins (such as in set 5861 currently on the shelves at TRU) as they have never produced anything effective to creat ruins in either System X or the new clip system.

For larger buildings and castles, unless they do an anniversary set, then Steck is sadly a thing of the past.

Mmmm...the Sheriff's Office add-on currently out there is a Steck building, just not the castle parts. It has some useful pieces for non-castle structures and does have the rock walls but with window openings

and dont forget the pirate dungeon ....

[Elric]

And the medieval barn.

I think steck will make a comeback with completely new sets , its the best design playmobil has ever created by far and its modularity and bespoke design capability makes it very commercial . I am confident the next sets of castles will go back to a steck based design , have you seen how difficult is to customise the latest castles

System x is horrible in terms of looks, too mnay holes and too many little connectors , annoying really

Steck will be ressurected , that is my prediction
