The only thing that I do not like is the price, it would seem the set is quite expensive compared to other sets of equal plastic weight

how much does that bakery cost?

Thankful, yes I am but do not try to take advantage of us the same way Geobra frowns down on auction sellers who do the same  ::)

I don't agree with you here Ras!

The coloured steck houses were 33 Euro, so for 5 extra we get the bakery which has a lot more asseceries and the signs and what not easily adding up to the difference.

The other prices (Barrel - 4 Euro, Car 14, windmill 15, Water Tower 20) are in my opinion below what they could have asked for.

I do feel like they priced them in such a way to see if there was really a demand for them at a good price. instead of having to go into the argument with the collectors when they don't sell well and we tell them it is the pricepoint.

The water tower at 20 sounds reasonable for the old set. Now why charge almost twice as much for the bakery, it only has a little more plastic and about the same amount of mold runs. The car is a average deal but not excessively overpriced

If Geobra is going to charge so much for some of these re-releases they should give free memberships to the club in return  :P

I would still tell Geobra their price points are off any day of the week, we are talking about molded plastic here, it is not a rare commodity

I think the company end of geobra sees a way of making a few bucks similar to any business. Here they have us pinned down through our addition. If they make the sets and we buy them at an inflated reasonable price then they win but we feel that we also won due to Geobras interest in doing the transaction again. If we do not buy them due to         then Geobra does not re-release items and we both loose

I hate additions  :hissyfit:

I wonder if Playmobil sets prices by the weight of the pieces for DS catalogue add-ons.

I do think these items are overpriced.

I never bought any of the medieval houses from DS as I realised for what they were, they were overpriced.  Just like the medieval house/barn. 

I bought my steck houses from Ridge Road Station for a deep discount. 

I'm just reasonable like that.  :)

Martin started a nice trend on weighing the sets and creating a weight to price comparison

You just weigh the set (with out boxes) and post it in a review along with the price

Over time we should be able to tell how things are valued

Regarding the high costs of the bakery:  As far as I know Geobra/Playmobil has to made a new mould for
one side wall. The old one was broken and a new mould costs a 6-digit amount of money (in this case Euros).......
