Title: Pictures from Ritterhude (march 19th 2006)
Post by: matchboxluc on March 19, 2006, 19:19:57
Hi,

I've been to the Playmo-fair at Ritterhude and I've been taking some pictures. I start with what I bought there:  the large castle 3666 new in box (one heavy monster of about 7 kg) and an old refuse truck set MIB...

Thanks mbl for showing us these pics, especially the Roman camp scene.  There is some great attention to detail there. I shold think Playmobil must be well on the way to recovering their investment in the Roman moulds already. :)

I like the Roman camp. There`s a lot going on there in not a lot of space.

And the SHOPPING.......*sigh*

On the "Impressions #2" pix there is one frame showing a whole shelf of Skeletons. Just above, in the middle, is a set I don`t recognise. It looks a recent release from the packaging but the uprights on the house remind me of the very old Western houses.

So what is it? Some new release I`ve missed?

Hi Val!

You have a good eye for the important details, it seems...  ;)
This is one of a few new Antex releases. They released a new bank as well.
To bad, you never can be  sure you get the outside in the inside...

@matchboxluc: thanks for the nice impressions... It was so much fun
once again. Actually I spent there time from saturday afternoon up
to sunday afternoon and it have been intensive 24 hours full of
playmobil and playmobil-fanatics. And I finally got very very close to
a sealed 3740...  :o
I feel sorry that we didn't manage to have a longer chat, but there
were quite a few boxes around there I didn't had my fingers in...  :-[
But, as always, it has been a pleasure to meeting you.  :)

best regards,
socrates

How was the prices of the playmobiles for sale?
Well, I didn't ask for all the prices, but my overall impression was that the majority was quite reasonably priced (considering the age of the sets among other things). But when one is from outside Germany, playmobil at this place was quickly well priced ;D . I bought the 3666 for €110 (it was still sealed) and the old refuse set 3470 was €40...

I found it nice to be there too and to see some familiar faces; I 've made a few people happy with the fantasyland sets that I brought with me. It was hard to decide what I should get for myself, mainly because I collect the old sets. At least I found something; the refuse set fits into my collection and the large castle has always intrigued me because of its size :D.

Wow! So much stuff! 8-)

The displays look really interesting (though a little macabre, in places :o), and I can just
imagine how much fun it would be to rummage through those boxes of mixed loose pieces. :cloud9:

Thanks for the pics, Jean-Luc!
Glad you had such a nice time and that you found some bargains that fit with your collection. :)

Hi MBL,
It sure looks like you (or any Playmo Fan) would have had a great time.
I am envious of all the merchandies that is sold there.

There are some old, hard to find klickies that I have been looking for, and I wonder if they could have been found given the amount of sellers.  C'est la vie.

The castle is a great set.
Its the last one that is a steck system.
For castles, at least, I still think Steck is better than System X

I am glad you shared the photos with us,
Meg

Thanks for posting the photos. There are some interesting things there.
Those poor animals!  It is clever though to combine the tiger halloween costume with a bear rug for a tiger rug.
