I just picked one up. Can't wait till it gets here! Ok...maybe I'm out of control a bit, but I'm having fun!! ;D
-
Its a good set! You'll have some good fun!
-
what set is it? ???
-
Oddly Enough, my wife just got me this set for my birthday last tuesday!
I have also not had a chance to set it up yet.
I already have a large army of Blue Lion troops to go with it.
It is Set 3268, also know as the Large King's Castle.

oh that is a nice castle!
you know... that set is in toys stores here right now and it is sold for 1000 dollars! isn't that CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? MG!!!
:o :o :o :o :o :o
-
$1000!? :omg: That's crazy!!! You can definitely buy it here and have it shipped to you for cheaper than that.
-
That is crazy! :o

The 3268 castle is a nice castle even though it's system x construction. I thought 189.00 was high, wow 1000 for a 3268? That's insane!

Get the expansion sets for it - DS will still have them (as well as various online stores) that will make it more playable (and bigger!). They're not listed on the site anymore, but they will still stock them until they are sold.
I don't have the links or stock numbers to them, but I am sure if you look on this site (or someone else with more time can add them here).

You could do that and it would work out to be less money than what they are asking to buy them locally.
Is that really an equivalent of $1000 usa money?!?!
It just seems insane.

Thank you. I was holding the baby in one arm and could only one finger type my answers and it was a pain to try to research anything.
I was going to get the Empire castle (I think the blue colour with it is amazingly attractive) and I have been getting extra wall extensions and towers off ebay for a while now (a large plastic tub full) - but I am now wondering if I should and maybe I should just concentrate on Steck pieces. There are two castles nearby that I know the people want to unload (3666's) so to get the Empire castle. I don't know. Maybe if one appears cheap enough. It is hard to get used Playmobil here though, people hang on to it (which is a good thing - because it's valued and it must bring such good memories or it is gifted on to other children).

I think he means $1000 and $700 US.
-
Ya I want to know also if the Empire castle is $1000 and the princess castle is $700 in US dollars or is that a different currency . I know Gustavo has to pay like 2 months wages to get a small set 8}

I sometimes order sets and ds items through one of my local toyshops. I tried getting the tower expansion last fall and they were out of stock already. At least that's what my toyshop owner told me.
-
yes guys, all prices are in dollars, that's why is crazy! 8} 8} 8} 8}

I found it on Amazon.com from a vendor on there. I paid $139 for it...shipped.

Well, some people must have read this thread. They're now starting at $317 ...

So...I am sooo disappointed. I got the package today from Amazon of my Knights Empire Castle. In the box is an automotive part of some kind. No Castle. I assume they will resolve the issue by refunding my money, but I want the castle!! Now they are priced out of my range. I'm very, VERY bummed out.
:'(
-
An automotive part!? ??? That's really strange! How disappointing! :-\
-
Hopefully it was a mix up & the seller can get it all straightened out, sending you what you actually paid for! :crossed:

Nope, they're doing a refund, but making me pay to have the auto part shipped back. That's not fair. And, I was dying for a Playmobil Castle. Now I can't even find one reasonable on ebay. Bummed out. :'(
-

what's that? a car part? :-[
-
They made the mistake, they have to pay for the cost to ship the item back... they have no castle left to send you back?
-
what's that? a car part? :-[
Yup, a starter for a car. They said they're out of stock on the Castle now. So sad.
-
seems to you an honest mistake? :-[
Im so sorry, you were so happy you got it so cheap! :-\
-
I agree that they should at least pay the return shipping, especially considering your trouble and disappointment ???
-
No way you should have to pay to send it back! It was their mistake!
-
I would contest that. They should reimburse you for the entire transaction, & pay for the return shipping.
-

NO WAY!!!
You email them back and tell them you're not paying for return shipping. On top of that, because it is their fault, they are going to have have a courier come to your house to pick it up as you're not wasting your time and money to take it to the post office.
So you got a Playmobil castle box with a car starter inside of it?!
-
So they finally agreed to pay for the shipping. So, I've sent the box back and I'm done. What a pain! If anyone has an extra castle they want to get rid of, let me know. I've lost every auction I've found. Starting to get rather frustrated.
-
So sorry you went through so much frustration. Keep hanging in there, and you will get your castle eventually. When you finally do, you will realize how worth the wait it was. I have been waiting years for some things....
-
Yes, be patient, don't get in a hurry. Eventually one day you'll see a fantastic Buy it Now price and snatch it up! I can't tell you how many times I have overpaid for a set because I really wanted it, and since seen so many better deals and regretted not being more patient.
-

Try using e-snipe it works wonder with winning auctions and if you lose them it really is because your max bid was just to low!! It also makes you not need to be at the computer when the auction ends which is a blessing!
-
Thanks gang! You're all very encouraging. I'm just glad to be done with this mix up for now. 8}

You were right! I just grabbed a complete 3666 and a 3888 in one action! Hooray!
-
:woohoo: Congratulations :picsplz:
-
So, this story just got a lot better, instead of the Sys-X castle you get the mighty 3666 I say you were lucky you didnt get your 3268 otherwise you might not have been looking for this one :-)
Welcome to the slippery slope that is a Steck addiction :-)
-
Yes, this is the castle I really wanted. But it was just out of my range. So, like any addict, I upped my range.
Really, I paid 150 for this auction. Complete 3666 and 3888 together, so I think I got a deal.
-
Yes, that is a very good deal, especially if it came with accessories :high5:
-
I think you'll like the Steck one better. The walls are higher/taller, so it's really closer to scale for Playmobil figures. The sysX castle walls really are that much smaller (too small!).
Not to mention that, you can expand this much MUCH easier. You can also get the Steck house that DS has to go with/inside it and the bakery next year. Oh, and the barn.
As you can see, soon you have a medieval village started.
They really needed to have made a Steck Church (yes, you can build one and yes you can use the new/discontinued one) but it's not the same. LOL
Congrats!
-
Congratulations! That's a great deal!

Yeah the beauty is really that you can make big designs with Steck quite easy and the houses are compatible. With the Sys-x Castle you can't use your extra walls to extend or build another house. Also each 3666 comes with a house for your city :cloud9:
In regards to the church, the new church works great if you give it a paint job like Sir Wolf did :-)
