Post by: playmovictorian on October 06, 2009, 19:20:45

It was called "Victorian", "Belle Epoque", "Nostalgie", "1900", or "Rosa Serie"...

These must have been some of the most difficult and expensive sets for Playmobil to produce when you look at all the fine detail and parts required.  Classic Playmobil in its own right.

and to think they call this a child's toy . They simply are so simply beautiful . The thing that interested me is after I went into a doll house shop and saw how expensive the house and accessories were (house $500-$2000, Table and chairs $200 and up, etc...)  I realized how affordable Playmobil Victorians can be .

Ah, those were the days! Thank you Karim for this little bit of nostalgia and what might have been.
