Hello, Bogro ...
I respectfully disagree with the idea that Playmobil is not a construction toy !
Playmobil IS a construction toy! It has always been a construction toy!
In 1974 Playmobil was introduced as a "KLICKY" ... Parts were "klicked" on the basic figure to change it from a Construction Worker to an Indian to a Knight. This is figure construction!
And, a mere two years later, buildings were introduced! This was the beginning of structure construction. These first Western buildings, to assemble, were later followed with the Steck System and then with SystemX.
Playmobil has ALWAYS been a construction "SYSTEM" ... The early boxes even "shouted" the word system all over them!
IMHO ... PLAYMOBIL IS A CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM!
(Even Playmobil stated in their 1974 flyer, "Das neu variable System für mobiles Spielen.")
All the best,
Richard

I bet Bogro now is looking up something to prove that System is not the same as Building

But am sorry Dear Richard , I have to stick with my ex-brother in law
Playmobil never came on the market as a construction toy like Lego meccano or fischer thechnic
they never promoted it that way eighter as far as I know
It is us , the crazy collectors who started buying several castles and trying to combine them
Lego adds in there construction plans several possibilities on wot to build with wot's inside the box
I dunnot recall Playmobil doing this
@ Anne , yes indeed this is a great discussion
