3053 pirate ship & 4121 Western cattle wagon - gorgeous box art

[Macruran]

The box photos on that pirate ship are off the chain. The ship to ship battle...

But, why is the monkey wearing diapers? I mean, I know why, but it looks silly.

Oh wow. Love your purchases. Those pirates ships where every boys dream in my class. Some of them where lucky like my friends brother. When he was not at home we loved to play with it. Memories...

The cattle wagon is gorgeous but please don't send your cows and horses to the butcher 

[Birdie]

She is from New Orleans .

   Right!

And the set? She looks custom made, but there were several when I picked her out.

the pole things are "pushers" for the cannons. To load them or something..

Otherwise he throws his faeces at people, it's not pretty.

   Can you believe I hadn't even thought about it like that?

I think Butcher is the name of the man who owns the wagon. The wagon is used for the safe transportation of cows to areas where there is more opportunity for pasturing.

ahh you bought that waggon too? other than that, pretty restrained yourself this time 
nice buys ;-)

[Tiermann]

Great buys. I love the box art on those, and the cattle wagon is always useful for moving your zebras to summer pasture land, or south in the winter.

Nice I remember all the photos in those old catalogues were really beautiful much better than the ones nowadays probably part of the reason why I have such a desire to collect Playmobil particularly 1990's sets. Those 2 figures are great the man's got some nice detail and the woman is beautiful in that dress.

I know I'm biased but, I agree with you love that Pirate Ship  as I've mentioned before I had that ship and the Pirate Island as a kid two of my favourite sets now looking at all the accessories and all the box photos brings back some good memories and makes me want to find one even more, love the design and the sails and much more realistic colours than the one I've bought. I love the seeming realism of the Klickies demonstrating the accessories and the sails and appearing happy concentrating on their work, plus of course the idea of the battle scene and semi underwater photo. 

I really like the 1990's Pirates the Captain's got some nice detail and I like the other crew members I've got the guy with the red jacket with a slightly different bandanna, and I really like the chimps I can remember trying to separate the little boy in his cap from the set when my Mum decided to sell my ship because I really liked him but, clearly it can't have worked    . Did you get the posters with the ship as well? I've still got mine now they are something else truly beautiful settup snad very dramatic background plus the jelly seas

welcome to the playmo-pirate world birdie.
you'll get hooked (a little joke).
if you don´t mind a suggestion to enhance even further the joy of having a 3750/3053 - try to get the crew from the other version (see picture).

  you will then have the only official playmobil set with 2 crews - a total of 10 pirates no less.
they are not that difficult to get on ebay.
great buy.
congratulations.

does it look like the sails are literally "burned" on the image?
