If you like WWII stuff and it fits with Playmobil, I think I would get it. (If I had the money. ::) )
However, I see no comparison pictures to make sure we know how big it is exactly.
So I do not know if it would fit with Playmobil. ???

I say if you are really interested in having something like this you could make one out of System X. I am more a purist and do not like mixing different brands. For the asking price you could buy all the parts out of playmobil you needed

It goes to show that Playmobil could produce a much larger pirate ship when you see this monster! I can just picture it now,..........4 masts, 4 feet long, & water worthy,..... :cloud9:

YOOOO JOOOOE!!!!!

Sorry to say mate, the GI Joe USS Flagg can't be used at all for playmobil... it does not fit the specifications... What would you place on it?  ??? medieval, egyptian, romans?

nonono... being a huge GI JOE fun, the only guys who can use this set up are the ones in the attachments  ;D

@warrior: you can see how big it is from the Admiral Keel Haul action figure... its actually massive!!!! It can host 4 to 5 Conquest X-30 ... http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/86/conquest/ and boy, they are big!!!!

Wolf Knight that link showed it only cost $90 back in 85. I never remember seeing this anywhere in stores in our area. That is quite a bargain even back then for such a huge ship

I think it is way too expensive.   The only usable part for Playmobil would be the
flight deck.  The conning tower, "island" is a bit out of Playmobil scale I think.

For those big bucks, you could build a mighty fine 8 foot carrier in Plamo scale ;D

These GIJ's figures are impressive Sir Wolf. I have seen this ship , there was one toy store in athens only , just one back in the early 90s in a very good area where expensive imported toys were available, i bought from there my original advanced  dungeons and dragons fortress of fangs which cost a fortune back then , very expensive , that carrier was there also and was the biggest boxed toy they had , it was a crazy price i dont remember exactly how much but i did a calc and its equivalent to about 900euros today. I remember seeing it and drooling ... impressive super toy of the era.. respect !!! i think it will look awesome with modern klickies ,something quite spectacular and dont get me wrongo Ras i share your views on original playmos , after all i am a hardcore steck and old style playmos to the core BUT rules are there to be broken and this carrier is getting more and more interesting ..... :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I know it is large, I saw a chair in the back. :o
But I am concerned about how big it is compared to Playmobil.
Would a Playmobil be too big to fit in there?
Or would it seem much to small compared to all the equipment?
Can you show us the difference in size between one of your GI Joe figures, and a Playmobil?
