a new large imperial warship is coming

[Heronimus]

hello everyone!
I was collecting Lego before Playmobil too but that was before their newer napoleonic figures came out...here's my imperial warship and some others which have not been kept/given away 

Nice display~~~
One thing about Lego that I love is their size, so small and can fit in the cases really well. I used to build a lot of lego, and lost interest to both Lego and Playmobil in my teen. Playmobil has been doing fine with keeping up their quality (except the defective kids' eyes), and the plastic of Lego is getting weaker and weaker.

That's a nice Lego collection, Cheng.  I had some of those too.  I like the older, simpler Lego figures like yours better.

That was a great tease!! I go to bed and wake up to find this thread with 11 replies already...so I was thinking...damn...I'll be late for work!!! I share your sentiment cachalote!!! Give us a big flagship please!!!!

maybe a new thread is not needed warrioroftoys.

i bet we all want the same things:
- a nice color scheme (black and white would be my favourite but lord nelson's victory yellow and black could also be nice - http://www.hms-victory.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=111);
- as big as possible (and we accept to pay a huge ammont of money in exchange);
- as filled with extras as possible (guns, food, small boats, etc.);
- as filled with sailors as possible (looking just like the ones in 3740) and officers and a few marines;
- with real string rigging using plastic only for the shrouds (just like the 3550/3750);
- as deprived of "stupid-fischer-price-ian" as possible (no strange guns that become part of the deck, etc.).

... and, as i have no doubt playmobil has this ship already in production, all these things - apart from the size (3940? 4290?) - are still easily feasible.
a.s.a.p. please.

My only fear is that if we get anything even resembling a ship of the line, it will be prohibitively expensive.  Given that things like the 4404 Hospital sell for around $165, I'd place that as the upper limit for a large offering.

I’m not holding my breath.

That would be a VERY small price to pay for a set like this, but perhaps they should consider pre-orders…

I agree, but that seems to be near the upper price range for Playmobil offerings.  I can't see them releasing a $200+ set...the potential market would be tiny.

the lego 2 masts pirate ship costs 80 euros. 
the 3 masts imperial flagship costs 150 euros. 

the "big" playmobil 4290 costs 80/90 euros. 
maybe 120 euros would be a good markrting price for the new big flagship (i am sure playmobil is planning to show it at the end of 2011 / begining of 2012)

For a three mast ship with additional rows of cannons,
And maybe more room head-space...
120 euros sounds great! (Id buy it)

why not?  the castles cost this much and are of super large scale. if it costs more then so be it!  As long as they make it.  as it is, it would cost as much if not more to make a custom out of 2 or more 3286 ships. no matter what, if you want a ship of the line its gonna have to be bigger, and therefore more costly.  i want it!
