this set you bought yes it is old i remember taking it as one of the last playmobil i had as a child in 2001. i've seen it on google now and the box is different it is made in usa perhaps as an exclusive set and it's wasn't in the katalogs it must be recently made because you bought it from jumbo which is a big store and the toys are not staying there for a long time. about these old playmobil specials available on big stores and existing on the katalogue today they can't be from stock they have been reprodused. they are available only in greece?

I think that yes, this is the case.
You can visit the playmobil home page www.playmobil.com and go throught the catalogues of various diffenet countries.
You will see that apart from exclusives, playmobil offers older sets to some of these countries.

The new Specials this year are not worldwide and some countries are getting re-issues of old ones.

Don't order from latoys.com as they don't have anything they claim to have.  I ordered a set from them a few years ago and they charged my card but sent no merchandise.  I had to get my CC company involved.

I really wish we were getting the Conquistador and Mongol Specials this year instead of re-releases of recent Specials.

I'm still so angry that we aren't getting the new specials here in the states...   >:(
All the specials being re-released are garbage I didn't buy the first time around-  they probably have a ton lying around because they are junk.
Not that I have an opinion.   ;D
I WANT MY BIKINI LADY!!!

I am thrilled we are getting the old customs back!
I really want more of 4659,
And 4517 looks like they could be useful additions to the knights theme,
I really want to get some of them.

I took some photos of the dragon prince...I have to say that i am not completely satisfied with him...the gold/purple armor does not look as impressive as the red and green ones in the dragonland series...

Bah!  Tradition, trasmition.  I hear what you're saying, but I'm all for Playmobil innovation.  I also love system X and the new horses.  Anyway, I don't HAVE the new specials, so I want them!   ;) >:(

System x is great!!! Love the western forts much more than the older ones...And true, the new horses are better!!!!
Moreover....I want the mongol warrior and the conquistador DESPERATELY!!!! Still, there are older sets that new ones cannot compete!!!

the mongol warrior  4926 in orange clothes is even  more impressive than this red one it's on the egg box!!!!
