Heh it might cost a lot of money for those individual pieces, unless one person would somehow happen to have all or most of those pieces. Otherwise the individual shipping costs could cause it to be very expensive.

Aquiring additional sets from that period is probably going to cost me quite a bit, although I would be willing to trade all of my modern day sets for medieval sets of about the same value, as long as they are from the same period as my own medieval sets.
Could be further compensated with payment in case the combined value is obviously less. Would still save me quite some money.

I'd prefer a trade in person for that though, so both sides would be able to inspect quality and to be sure nothing goes wrong with the sending and delivery process.

And as promised, here is the full collection of my brother and oldest sister.

Next week I hope to post the small collection of my other sister who is two and a half years older than me, we always played together in our childhood. I grew up on a cargoship with complete living compartment here in the netherlands, so was always there in weekends and in vacations, with no other children around and no way to play outside.
Which meant a lot of playing with playmobil but no space to keep it built up. Which explains the many broken and missing parts I gues, since we really where carefull with our toys and felt really bad whenever the smallest thing would break.

Anyways, here's the collection of my brother and oldest sister.

Complete overview:


The pirate ship:


The castle:


Note the housewife clicky my parents appearantly gave my sister.  :lol:

I agree, very nice to see these old klicky's and still looking good.  i also noticed the Nuremberg guards helmet is losing it's shine.
Must say I had the same problem with some of the silvery helmets.

Sadly I can't remember any of those armors and helmets being fully shiny. We didnt have the space to have it all build up all the time, it had to be stored away very often, so that does cause it to scratch against other parts.


And here are the spare parts from which I couldnt figure out what sets it might have been.


Lots of clicky holders which probably where part of some sets, but I am not really worried where they belonged.

It did make me a bit sad to put all this together.. Seeing how great it must have been when everything was still complete and not broken.
Worst part was finding out several things where broken that where not yet broken last time I saw it, I gues my nephews where too rough with it last time they played with it. That caravan was still intact, as was the seat in front of it.
There used to be a red stagecoach, but sadly my sister broke it by accident. And many things where appearantly already broken or missing before I was born since I dont recall there ever being a market stand or cannon balls with the pirate ship, and plenty of other stuff such as chairs. I do remember the sails of the pirate ship being there, but not functional anymore.

In an attempt to recapture some old glory, I customized a pirate crew again and really filled up the ship like I used to do during my childhood.
Here they are, ready to challenge any upstart fancy looking new pirates and soldiers!

Believe it or not, but I used to call the pirate in blue Jack. He was my favorite pirate, the slightly faded mouth gave him a bit more character, and made him easy to recognize.

 :o Due to the helmet and your're collection in general I thought for a moment I saw my own playmobil from when I was a kid.
These last pictures you showed at least. I sold it all when I was young.

Very nice to see your pics brings back a lot of happy memories!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Still remeber I got the pirateship when I became 7.

Again, great sets, Rhalius! The pirate ship is a great set - one that I still haven't got. :lol:
