Yes, thank you Richard for the review. I have been passing this up in favor of more 4444 sets but I could see using this as a gate to a rock fortress.

My local Target stores have reconfigured their toy departments for Christmas and the space allocated to Playmobil has been severely cut, the persons in charge of the departments said they will be carrying less Playmobil than in the past so I think I need to get while the getting is good or at least okay.

Thanks for the review, Richard.

Even though I am still not much interested in this particular tower; I am much inclined to buy the green knights tower that should be released as well.
Thanks to your review of this set.


mmm... perhaps I shouldn't thank you then  :-\ :lol: :love:

It is really quite easy to take apart .



How easy is it, Ras?

If you go look at my 4475 review i took it apart in a few seconds ...



Ras, would you please show us in detail (I'm a bit dim at times) exactly how you took it apart?


Quote from: Rasputin on September 06, 2008, 01:09:38

I think i also figured out how you got 2500 posts  :P



Hmmm ...  :hmm:

PS: thanks for a review of the set . I have been passing this one up a lot lately. I guess the figures were not that interesting to me but now that i see your point i may get it just for displays with the older fort walls .



You're very welcome, Ras.

IMO, this is one of those few sets that actually look better "out of the box" ...  :klickygrin:

All the best,
Richard

That's disturbing news, Gepetto ...  :sadklicky:

Let's hope that this is an isolated situation with only one (or two) Target stores.

All the best,

Unfortunately, Gepetto's observation holds true for Target stores in the Boston area, too.  In previous years, Playmobil shared one side of an aisle with Lego.  Now Lego fills that space completely and Playmobil has been moved to an area for younger kids' toys where it occupies less shelf space than before.   :'(


On the other hand, Toysrus has more Playmo on the shelves than they have had for a few years.   ???

Hmmm ...  ^-^  That's exactly what I've also noticed here at the Target stores in Fort Lauderdale, Anne ...  :sadklicky:

I'll have to check out TRU on Monday.

How is everything in the Boston area with Tropical Storm Hannah? Hopefully, you're not having any problems where you are, Anne.

All the best and stay dry,
Richard
