I don't see a sheriff's office... You can make one... actually we talked about western buildings a few weeks ago : http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=7750.0

The above thread leads to a very interesting custom western building website: http://playmobiltuning.canalblog.com/archives/

Maybe that will give you soem ideas  ;)

Excellent collection you have Savvas! As Panos has stated, you may want to obtain a Sheriff's office & jail. I also saw an undertaker's coffin shop, & funeral wagon hearse, long ago that were custom's.

Interesting use of the forest house rifle rack and the stove from the forest house!

Beautiful Collection Savva. It is nice for us to see something that it is not medieval. I loved your custom western houses.

I was in love with the western theme in my childhood.Right now i 'am collecting my dream collection, the medieval theme, which was so expensive for me when i was kido.

I'm really enjoying how there has been a surge in activity towards the western theme! I hope geobra is watching and will bring it back in all its former glory. It's my first love when it comes to playmobil!

I've never been attracted to the western theme, just the modern ones. :)

Modern is my favorite now, but western is an extremely close second, and pirates a very close third. I grew up watching mostly old westerns, plus some pirate movies, so those themes always appeal to me.

1.Western, 2.Pirates, 3.Space. if i was rich i'd buy the medieval theme too. anycase pirate theme can be joined with medieval. not entirely, but as the time period is near each other. of today's themes, roman is attractive.

Even if you are not rich, you can manage to get the whole medieval theme slowly... no need to fall in the pit and strat looking for all the sets at once. you can slowly get one set each month, or so, and keeping it reasonable. Plan and organisation I say!

I agree . Its patience that wins the game. And its more fun doing so in a certain pace rather than try and buy everything at once. it has taken me a total of 30 years to have all the steck/ mediaval collection though i admit about 50% of it was bought in the last couple of years  :-[ :-[ .. nevertheless , i bought my last remaining steck house 3449 not long ago and the joy i go was massive, always works for me with Steck .

Therefore , the message i am trying to get across is to buy more steck !!! its good for you  ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D

i meant that i have to finish pirates and western first, then start medieval. i think i'll try to fit medieval in pirates.
i am trying to personalize a lot of stuff. so i have to buy more only to combine them among themselves. i bought five french soldiers (made part by part). its cost around 50 euros. only to have a pre-revolutionary french army, to add in my caribbean collection
