Greek Gods worked because it's not really licensed.

Let this be a lesson to other countries: trademark your pagan mythologies!  :2c: :crossed: :irish:

Saw this on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=360682822496668

=> The first promotional video with all the sets!

Now the question rises: are they really going to promote something already for a release in June 2022?! I would assume they decided to release the sets earlier in 2022?

Those buildings are must haves . I could use at least a dozen of each. The table probably only a few of. Looks great but it’s so big for dioramas. Such great looking sets and colors.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Geobra is not going to release these state side . I don’t think there is enough of an Asterix following here. Similar to us being jipped on the Heidi sets.

I’ll have to source them from abroad , all I need is the exchange rate to balance out

Thank you for posting the video , the sets look better than I thought
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

 :(o):

I haven't read a lot of Asterix. But being a medieval buff these sets are a must have :loco:

(Technically not medieval of course, but maybe this will be an occassion to start collecting the Roman Theme too)

The quality of the video I have seen on Instagram is low, my guess is it's leaked and not intended to be out yet. The Spaniards seem to have really good connections somewhere, or have hacked their way into company systems at the Spanish plant.

I wonder if the Romans have reversible heads? After they have been beaten up, with black eyes, etc.

I know absolutely nothing about Asterix, but I love these sets - especially The Village Feast.

I'm glad to hear, though, that it's not out until June.  I imagine it will be rather expensive, and I'll need that time to save up!

The tree house would make an excellent cottage without the tree. You could create a small settlement with them. So many great new pieces coming.

Though in the good system WHY way, you will need to either cut the connector tabs or set it on something... or disguise the connector holes, I would guess...

But beautiful parts all around.. I REALLY hope those are normal klickys... I got some Ayuma, and... well.. I can't get over it.  :'(
