Looks gorgeous...

I suppose  the houses will be system WHY, but probably their best system WHY houses yet? :love:

The pics are smallish.. 

So, are those normal klickys?  (besides Obelix) 

Asterix is a kid?

The woman a speedo or spirit?

Is the palisade compatible with existing ones? (there better be an add on for it - this is kinda ridiculous :P .. as usual, my stupid wallet disagrees)

So many questions.

Looks like the Romans are wearing skirts? Not very familiar with the newer bodyparts, but it does look like a short skirt, doesn’t it?

It looks like they chickened out of the big noses. :(

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

The guys on the set with the troop (top right) look to me to have common roman legs.. but.. can't really tell..

AGH! We need to get these wonderful people a wonderful scanner and/or camera!  >:D
(hopefully they are better at it than me  :-[ )

I really hope it's a spirit one with a normal klicky head! Would be great to FINALLY be able to customize those spirit's as normal klicky teenagers...

And last but not least: that must be the greatest rendition of a licensed theme so far! Wow, great job Playmobil!

Well..  not me. I hate the spirit bodies - females all look like they are about to croak from starvation.. and the misprinted heads make them look like morons on top... males, if standing, not bad - though I doubt anyone apart from us can't tell the difference. And they equally useless for customs. And ugly as Tartarus if sitting :(

End rant.

The sets do look beautiful...

Wow, thanks for the pictures!

It's a much bigger launch than I expected TBH - if I ever expected the Chief or Bard's houses, I thought they would come later in a second wave.

Some great pieces, and I think they have captured the feeling while keeping it feeling like Playmobil.

Is the feast and Asterix's house etc all one set. Jikes that will be pricey  :o

As best I can make out those are normal Roman legs, looks like recolored regular legionaries. Nice!  :)9  Also can't wait to get a look at that new Roman commander's tent!  :cloud9:

It's very nice that they're doing a big village feast. I only see one boar though?  ???
