Maybe they are thinking of introducing a general theme on Ancient History.

Yes I've noticed... we have them merged in the greek 2010 catalogue as well. Maybe its saves paper and they are the only historical themes right now....

I also have a 2010/2011 german catalogue and the romans are not in it at all, while all the egyptians are present...

i would only think that if all the roman sets were there, which isn't the case because the roman theme was discontinued 1 or 2 years ago, no?
in my opinion they just trying to get rid of the stock leftovers by putting the roman sets left w/ a matching theme...While-stock-lasts strategy :)

I understand having looked at the website.  The section is just called Egyptians; I thought Gaston meant that there was a section called Egyptians/Romans.

I should have looked before replying!   :-[

Hi

This theory (not proven science :lol:) seems most logical as we have learned that Playmobil was left with too many unsold Romans. It would seem the Egyptians are not selling that great either as the add-ons in the US are on clearance
