Really amazing set!! I know that most of you have it already so I will not go into reviewing a lot!!! I am so happy to finally get it, that I just wanted to share the sentiment with you!!!

I was so happy to finally see the dark colour steck parts!!! I have the 5738 - Catapult Castle (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5738) but only its gate is dark coloured!!!

I recall Martin mentioning that ''colour makes a difference'' and yes it does!!!!
I also like the red and green colours of the gate and the shields!

But I was so dissaponted at the klickies.... :( :( :(

Why on earth did playmobil reuse these klickies?
30 00 6900 - Knight, red studded mail, Grey draped neckcloth, red arms (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-6900)
30 00 6930 - Man, black suit, red hands and feet (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-6930)
30 13 0280 - Baron, red and yellow clothes (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2013%200280)
30 00 9760 - Silver Knight (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2000%209760)
(http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/7/8/24/baldthar/f_grpn4rr3m_2a29807.jpg) (http://imagefra.me/)
They just have thes, marvelous in my opinion, green feathers but other wise they do not fit with the coat of arms....

The accessories are also satisfactory!! The green feathers, the different coat of arms (as opposed the plain red one I mean) the bid flag, the arm greaves that were used on the 4634 - Astronaut (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4634) --- did not know these were playmobil until I got the astronaut...so sadlly, a couple of pairs I threw away...should have asked you at ''shat is this''...
And of course, the so much sought after horse coat!!!!
Wish I had couple more f this set though...I would have rebuild the main gate to my castle... Oh well, les not get greedy...

Congratulations, it's a great set. The horse coat design is one of my favorites. It's too bad the dark steck parts are so hard to get

Good luck with your search!!

Thanks Tiermann!! Yes it is sad them being so hard to get...maybe DS has them in stock? (not that playmobil Hellas would accept the order...

If i might ask: how much did you pay for it? I saw one at the luxplaymodays for 50 euro but didn't get it. Was I mistaken?

Maybe you got confused with the dark coloured gate I have ;)!
Maybe you are right about the klickies...if its an exclusive, playmobil US cut the cost to minimum by using already produced klickies...

oh yeah probably ???

Great Castle Sir Wolf!!! ;D ;D ;D
The Klickies I think actually fit the heraldry ok.
In Medieval times they probably would not have been to exact in color.
So just having one color (red) and the device
Would probably have been period.
After all most people (peasants who formed the bulk of many medieval armies) were not rich enough
To go out and but the colors of their Lord.
They would probably only have had one tabard with their lords main color and device.

Still these guys will be incorporated to their knights groups!

Just one more would not hurt...but not right now...Just to make a great gate for the castle!!!
And a special/elite guard...

Great set. Already have two of them but sadly (?) only one set of figures. My absolute favourite parts in this set are the big flag and all the green feathers/ornaments for the helmets. The shields are cool too. For the second set I just replaced the horse man with a custom version of this one: (http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/playmodb/3000802-copie.gif).
And btw, the horse coat is available from DS (even in France!), and costs about 1,5 euros, plus the head coat of course.
Cheers.

I have combined those 2 heraldry in my Rutillian Army.
(Yes, my little country has a name: Rutillio (It is a combination of the Latin words for Red Lion))
I use both this Heraldry: Lion Knights (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-64-5500)
and This Heraldry: Red Lion Knights (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-62-3032)
For my "Red Lion" Nation. ;D
