(Link's not working!)

... inside a Trojan Horse...

You may have to buy a Barbie horse and a saw!

Or even better, this:

Thanks for posting Tahra! Nothing gets past you, does it? Can I get bigger pictures without having to join Fakebook? It amazes me how much detail everyone sees (like how many eyes Cyclops has!) on catalogue pics like these.

I don't think the pictures are any better if you're a member, they're not great but presumably better ones will turn up soon

Bit unfortunate that Odysseus is duplicated (in Circe and in Cyclops). Also is that Hercules on the Argo? That would make him a duplicate too. I forget if he's in that story.

Hopefully it's just a test release in Greece with wider to come (why don't PM tell us this stuff), but I'd also be happy with different countries getting their own cultural themes.

Yes, let's hope so... It would help us plan if they actually bothered to answer, right?

It is a whole theme (7 sets), wouldn´t that be a bit too much for a Greek-market release only?

I guess so... but who knows?

(Oh, and can you imagine parents explaining what's going on with Circe and the pigs?  :lol:)

If they manage to explain the yearly peasants + rich merchant sets, I am sure they can explain anything. Or near.

Or even better, this:

:o

The superlarge Trojan Horse in the pics posted a few posts above, is it Play Big, or some other brand?
I have seen pics of it before, but I don´t remember where it came from.

It's not Mattel then?
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

He is! Atalanta, Hercules, Jason and Orpheus are included in the set.

Was it any better when the PCC was still up and running?

I have no idea actually, it looks to be some unnamed brand?

Kai Jal Inustries Ltd., according to the small print. A Hong Kong firm which has produced quite a few PM-lookalikes (search Google Images for Kai Jal).

(I was joking about Mattel- they make Barbies!)

In the present context I assume "Barbies" is short for Barbarians  8-)
