tottaly insane. it must be under 200 dollars in playmobil usa.
im sure shipping it here and paying taxes would be cheaper that buying it form a toy store.

the magic castle is also in stores here for 700 dollars!  :lol: :lol:
I better get a plane tiket and buy them in Zirndorf!  :lol: :lol:

You could do that and it would work out to be less money than what they are asking to buy them locally.

Is that really an equivalent of $1000 usa money?!?!

It just seems insane.

Good thing I always have time for helping a playmofriend  ;D

here are the expansions

7836 - Wall Extension B for Kings Castle
7758 - Wall Extension for Knights` Empire Castle
7761 - Tower Extension for Knights' Empire Castle

 ;)

Thank you.  I was holding the baby in one arm and could only one finger type my answers and it was a pain to try to research anything.

I was going to get the Empire castle (I think the blue colour with it is amazingly attractive) and I have been getting extra wall extensions and towers off ebay for a while now (a large plastic tub full) - but I am now wondering if I should and maybe I should just concentrate on Steck pieces.  There are two castles nearby that I know the people want to unload (3666's) so to get the Empire castle.  I don't know.  Maybe if one appears cheap enough.  It is hard to get used Playmobil here though, people hang on to it (which is a good thing - because it's valued and it must bring such good memories or it is gifted on to other children).

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Ya I want to know also if the Empire castle is $1000 and the princess castle is $700 in US dollars or is that a different currency . I know Gustavo has to pay like 2 months wages to get a small set  8}
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Get the expansion sets for it - DS will still have them (as well as various online stores) that will make it more playable (and bigger!).  They're not listed on the site anymore, but they will still stock them until they are sold.

I don't have the links or stock numbers to them, but I am sure if you look on this site (or someone else with more time can add them here).

I sometimes order sets and ds items through one of my local toyshops.  I tried getting the tower expansion last fall and they were out of stock already.  At least that's what my toyshop owner told me.

Well, some people must have read this thread.  They're now starting at $317 ...

So...I am sooo disappointed.  I got the package today from Amazon of my Knights Empire Castle.  In the box is an automotive part of some kind.  No Castle.  I assume they will resolve the issue by refunding my money, but I want the castle!!  Now they are priced out of my range.  I'm very, VERY bummed out.
