An excellent review and pics, thanks! Sorry to see that it's snap-together construction. But I may use it my zoo anyway. I agree the new window is a great size and shape. I hope we see more of those, perhaps on a system x building. It's on my list, especially at such a good price!

An interesting addition but apparently following a new route of simpler construction.  Playmobil seem to have gone from one extreme (the fiddly System-X) to the other (this one) and forgot that there is a good halfway house in Steck.

i couldn't agree more! :)

and great review, thank you for sharing highlandcattle!

I agree with you here, Gordon. I mean steck isn't really a building system, it is more of a modular system. It is not like you can change a house into a spaceship with steck. It is not meant to do that and it would look like nothing. You can do this with LEGO and System X. But the trouble is that system X buildings and other constructions are always very ugly unless you have an awefull lot of decoration parts to finish of your building.

I agree about System X being too plain. It takes a trainload of furniture, people and plants to make it look habitable.
It would be great if the walls came in different colors and they gave us more options for window inserts as to shapes and color. And some trim to cover the connector piece holes would be lovely. I am thinking of something based on Frank Lloyd Wright or Motawi tile designs that would dress up that trim or floor edge piece at the top of every wall. 
And it is so difficult to find 4x6 baseplates to finish any System X building of a decent size. Our dining table is covered by an unfinished set of boutique shops because I can't find large floor baseplates to finish the upstairs. Ugh.
Cut I still like System X and especially the lovely wedding church. Cheers, Pgal :wave:
