oh i missed this thread!

anyway thanks for the pics Panos! - it's great to see all the sides of these houses - they're more beautiful than i thought... :love:

i had never seen that window on a steck room (3442 Blacksmith) - is that piece unique?

playmobil seems to be the only toy brand to ever produce a line of medieval houses for kids (just like it happened with the victorian theme) - that was a very good taste of them - I bet not only kids liked them when they were available back in the day, no wonder nowadays they're so sought after.
Too bad they're long gone :-\

Yeah, too bad, its even worse they show up on ebay in infuriating prices... I bought a city guard house a long time ago, payed 120 euros and it was sooo used, the connection points so loose, and the pieces extrememly yellow... the pic was very misleading...

Luis, window are you refering to? the black bars window? thats very common in all steck houses.

Here are the signs:



Yep, that confirms it: these have the same meaning, just different languages (German & French).
If 2 such signs came with the "Rathaus", maybe the previous owner had a spare one and put the French sticker on it, or there was a 2nd sign added in the box by mistake in the factory.





That is historically correct: the "Rathaus"-sign upstairs, and the "Ratskeller"-sign or "Restaurant aux caves de l'hĂ´tel de ville") on the ground level (in reality basement/cellar-level, but I assume you're not gonna make a hole in your floor or table  ;D )

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

I could use some help with the body colours of the figures that originally came with the sets.   :wave:

It is hard to see on the box cover images for some (ie the 3443 Barn - what colour of torso does the farmer have?)

Okay, questions:

3443 - Torso colour farmer

3447 - torso of man sitting

3448 - leg colour lady hanging out of window (red torso, white arms)
        - torso colour of barkeep


Did colours of figures change for the various versions?
