Is this a special set ? Or, is it the newest farm set to be available for a while  :crossed:? I hope it's proof that shows a future of new steck sets to be reintroduced :cham:! STECK is the bomb!

Hi,

Like many others, I'd love for this to represent a return to Steck. Unfortunately, I suspect, like many on Klickywelt, that this is simply Playmobil clearing stock, or possibly simply doing, effectively, a limited edition set from the old moulds.

Of course, I'd love to be proved wrong  :klickygrin:

Cheers,

AndrewL

The rereleased the sheriff set and the prison towers, seems to me steck is making a small comeback. These may not be new molds, but it sure is nice to see newly made parts. I'm certainly going to buy it!

No, but I can see the part that's missing, HC!

Farm Set 3716 had two wonderful supports that could be used to build balconies for Steck castles and buildings. Those parts are, unfortunately, missing from this new set (see attachments).

However, I'm very happy to see that Steck is not completely dead!

HC, thanks for the pictures and the post,
Richard

I was just uploading the picture to mention the same thing about the roof being only 2 long and not the old 3

I am still very happy that the parts that are in there may soon be available in the US  :crossed:

I may have to paint them though  :hmm:

Ras, it seems that they may be cutting back on some pieces for the new sets. Perhaps this is to keep the prices down?

I, too, am looking forward to this set making it to the US, Ras.

All the best,
Richard
