Hi Playmofriends,
im a big fan from stecksystem but at the beginning from systemx i thought ok new system i must like it , its playmobil.
But after a long time testing, i think that was not realy a great system like stecksystem.
- no realy stabel enough
- to many systemX connectors this cost many time to build a house........
I think this was a point for playmobil to make compact buildings.
Open the box and play fast, i think no parenst had enough time to build with there childs a complex systemX house and young childs had some problems to build alone a systemX building.
The lighthouse looks very nice and you can play great with it, but there some
drawbacks.
- you cant use 3 cannons useful a little small......
- it was very hard to fix the trapdoor after use.
- not systemX compatible
I thought playmobil brings a systemX lighthouse and later some new spanish conquistadors
with a fort to combinate............
But i think this time the playmobil themes are very short-lived only to look how can sell more.
Look at the Future the compact buildings coming.........

- 4243 Pharaotemple
- 4343 Animal Clinic
But i think to make new moulds for compact buildings cost many money, but its not cheaper to use some older systemX or Stecksystem buidlings ?
The other way are playmobil brings some new SystemX buildings , church , livinghouse , police station ...........
Very complex to understand this all........
But its great to see the STECKSYSTEM pavilion:

I dont understand the advert at playmobil.com about german/europe quality after the Mattel china disaster.
"98% of Playmobil Toys are manufactured at Europe"
Are the 4443 the rest 2% ?? I cant believe it !
Dont angry about my words, im a big playmobil lover (for the future) but i cant understand some facts from zirndorf !
world greets
