Mmm. I have mixed feelings about the new leg design. It's a bit too detailed for my liking!

I think these look great-  Love the heraldry.  Of course I'm pretty accepting of modern playmobil-  I have never been disappointed since 1987 (when I got back into the toy) with the new catalogue...  And since discovering Playmo on the internet in 2001, I look forward to the autumn so's I can know what to save my $$$ for in two years time...

The big castle is selling on the internet for *gulps* 150 euro. It's going to take a lot of grovelling to get anyone to buy that for me!  ;D ;D ;D

No - it was cheaper than that, around 200 or lower if I remember correctly. But hey don't complain: you can buy a Rolex for 2/3 of the European price, from Hong Kong!

 :P :P :P

I love watches.....do you work in the watchmaking industry?? I wanna be part of it.......

They may be priced cheaper here in Hong Kong, but the assortment is quite different....some of the cooler design and models are absent here :'(

Viewing the pics once again. Initially I dont like the new leg piece of these yellow knights, but I am now OK with them, and they just look way better than those from the dragonland. I think their printing is not too complicated, and resemble the root of the traditional playmobil knights. Will get them through DS later........

Is it just me? Probably my understanding to the middle age history is second to zero, so I dont like those knights without crest on their helmet.  >:D

No - I just love watches, too. Next time I visit, I'll buy a couple: the amount you save is amazing. I love HK!

The problem with these legs, other than being too detailed for my liking, is that from a distance (i've yet to see them in real life, so i'm basing this on the pictures) they make the knight's legs appear too skinny. But i'll probably like it eventually. About the scabbard, I still have some reservations however.

Hi all!The new Knights theme has just arrived at my favorite toystore,and I must say it looks AWESOME!!!Really old school "Playmobil-ish",but with just enough great new details on the figures and fantastic new gear,like those great helmets and shields.Oh,and I really wouldn't be too hasty to write off the new castles as "cheap looking chinese stuff",when you see them "hands on" in reality they look and feel really great!
Could you please dont lable Chinese that way? I understand some of the stuffs from sweatshop are exported from Mainland China, but this is also the responsibility of the producers, and China is not the only country executing the cheap stuffs manufacturing. And, thanks for the pics btw~~~ :wave:
