I've never seen that set before...it resembles some US-exclusives, it's like a kind of mix...

So is this a Greek exclusive??  :omg:

Oh, that is a fantastic set! Except that hideous sail. :hmm: Still, I want it! Panos, you managed to get a pic of the entire box except the set number. :lol:

:) hello panos,
 :thanks: thank you for the greek-fun-park-exclusive-pick.
 :o i have never seen such a set.
 :hmm: it resembles a little the ancient spanish famobil sets where 2 sets were kind of merged into 1.
 :love: i would love to have it, of course.

Ughh, those red boots on the soldiers are horrific.

I'm a few days late to this thread, but golly, you took the words out of my mouth.

Did any soldier in the history of warfare ever wear red boots?  ??? ::)

The red boots kill these sets for me, they look stupid, stupid, and btw, stupid. Got that, Playmobil designers?

They don't match the soldiers I already have, and by golly I'm not creating a special Red Bootee Brigade, so these sets go low on my priority list because that figure is now useless.

Martin,
Not sure I understand what you are saying here....is it that you really don't care for the red boots on soldiers???
Nicely stated! Do you think that anyone at PM is actually listening? That would be wonderful, wouldn't it!
Praying that they don't introduce any more red booted soldiers, not because I would ever buy any soldiers, but so that we don't have to listen to y'all complain!!!
Just kidding of course, Pgal!
After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!

Gosh, the red boots suck alright. I hope one day that Geobra listens to us about new figures/ authentic colours and more steck! I do like the carry along school very much, even if the maps are out!

I ordered the small ship, as I think it can be customized into something nice.  I didn't buy any of the soldiers, as I have enough with red trousers and BLACK boots.

To me, the torsos and hair on these new figures is wonderful, though. I would buy them and change out their legs for the old ones.

I agree with Bonnie, the torso is great... just get the set and change the boots if it troubles you that much...  ;) thats what I'd do!
