Perhaps the medieval theme allows more options?

A peacefull scene, full out war, guards can chase common bandits, friendly jousting matches, colorfull celebrations, hunting, etc.
Personly I just love decorating medieval scenes.

And it does allow some mixing and matching with the pirate theme, for buildings, chests, barrels and other decorations. And some civilians too.

Most of the medieval sets were as you describe  and allowed creating vast creations of peaceful and very middle ages designs , shops , town and farm folk etc etc are just a few examples , this was their philoshophy from 1977 to 2000 ....  :).. back in the early 80s yuo only had nuremberg guards and not al these unshaved angry evil faces of medieval warriors with unrealistic armour and weapons. much much better back then and it seems that playmobil backthen referred to a higher standard/quality of clientele .......

Modern themes allow all the same, except for war. As someone pointed out, when you add the modern ones together, you get about 48 votes. ;D I think modern theme collectors are greatly overlooked, with medeival and victorian viewed to be the big collector themes. I hope geobra can be made to realize that in reality, modern themes are probably the most popular with collectors, so they can know their target audience with the pcc and all a little better.

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.

If the figures had the same versatility now as they did originally... IE non molded-on accessories as stickers instead of prints... then everyone could use all of them  :lol: :lol:  think bright red sneakers... how many people who don't play on a pro sports team have those  :hmm:
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

It's all nice in its own way, and I gues all of us have maybe a theme or two that we really dislike. Its just what we prefer that we mention in this thread.  :)

Personly I dislike dragonland and Agents. Both nice ideas, but taken to the extreme. It seems to allow little variety and few options.
With a solid police theme I just dont feel that Agents has anything to add to it.
