i like your new pirate sets.

I like your teepee (my local store still has a lot of original teepees brand new in package...no one seems to buy them over the years, so they're still there).

your medieval factions: does the archer really go with the swan kingdom?  I never realized that!  I have him with my lion kingdom as a tower archer.  But I think his colour does match the swan kingdom colours a bit closer.

great collection!

None of my other factions seem to be blue and yellow, and theres a bit of light blue on his chest so it seems to match well enough.
Using more light blue could be reserved for the nobility.  :)

Lion faction is a bit of an oddball with no clear color indication, I have three characters from them and they all use completely different colors. Two are from specials though, but I think the others used all kinds of colors as well.

I don't see anyhting really rare right off hand, but it's hard to define rare sometimes. Some of those sets are rather sought-after. I think I saw the western gold miners in there? I don't know how rare they are, but I remember wanting them as a kid, and would love to have them now. And that old cavalry set is nice.

The gold miners is actually a set I picked up when I was 11 or 12, it was an old set at the time and very cheap, probably about half the normal store price.

There really is a lot in this set so I would recommend it to anyone.
Clickies might be a bit basic but they are all quite different and show character, I don't think I would be able to come up with a better mix of gold seeking clickies myself.
Lots of equipment for them as well. Five daggers, five pistols, four gold bags, a pick, an axe, a shovel, five mugs and a pitcher, and I gues the rest of it can be seen clearly on the image.  :)

Seemed like a great set to expand my cowboys at the time, so far it's still the last cowboy set I purchased.

Nice collection! You have the Native American/Indian set that I really want! I love the whole set, but especially the baby in the papoose!  Too bad your siblings won't just let you keep their share of the Playmobil!  :lol:

Especially the tower knight is a bit sad, his only company seems to be a spoiled princess and a flamboyantly homosexual messenger.
Got to give praise for playmobil though for breaking boundaries like that.  :)
.


a nice start !!  8-) i'am sure if you start buying ,you won't be able to stop :lol: :lol: :lol:   
 

i love that messenger ,he's so nice from the few medieval figures instead knights ,very very nice  :camera: :camera: :camera: :camera: :camera: that's how they were dressed then . hmm.... how do you know? perhaps the knight is a homosexual and grew that beard to hide it !! ;D

Sadly there are quite a few things missing/broken from the indian set, I did receive it at an early age and it's been played with a lot.
 The papoose to hold the baby is broken and can't go on the back anymore, a shoe is missing, several armlets, the shield is missing, the chain and poles to hold up the cookpot are broken and missing too, both rugs that came with it are missing and the tent doesnt look that great anymore either.  :(

Heh and I do like the tower messenger, we always played him as being rather overly enthusiastic about his duties.
If he where to deliver a message on behalf of the tower knight regarding just meeting up with someone, the messenger would invite them for tea and cookies, to give an example. He also liked to recite poetry and song written by his master despite it not being meant for the public but still crediting his master with the work.
He pretty much tried to make his master appear much nicer and friendlier than intended.  :)

And if I ever get the 3666 castle and jousting tournament, he will have lots more tower nobility to embarass.  ;)

You should look for various old lots on eBay to get those missing pieces. They are veritable gold mines!
