Hi guys :wave:

Yes these bricks are very good indeed - they fit together very strongly, and they can also be held by Klickies.

Here is a review by Customizer, showing details of the set and the bricks

This is the set I refer to as being a good addition to go with the 4322 builder's pickup truck.

I have that one too but it remains unopened. I thought son #3 (6) would appreciate it due to the lego-ness of the bricks. I am saving it for a gift or a rainy day. He is currently building the Titanic out of lego  :D

No, my son has an enormous bag of lego and he is making his own. He is currently obsessed with the Titanic. He is drawing it, making it out of cardboard, lego, you name it  :lol:.

I would love , love to see playmobil making some other dimesions of these bricks and use them to build castles etc . What a lovely thought .. Buy thousands of these bricks and built walls and fortifications, have many types of brick for square and round towers , aw,  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I bought this set the other day because it was 50% off because the store is making room for the new sets coming.  The bricks are nice.  They would make cool castles if they would have different styles like angles and curves.  They are abit thick so playmobil would have to make different door and window frames.  I guess we will have to wait and see if this is a new direction.

Hmmm...?
These bricks might be intresting as castle walls. :hmm:
Though I would love it even more if they just went back to Steck! ;D

Hi. I also have this set. I like it, but its playvalue is limited. You definitely need several of these sets or a big DS-Order before you can build any with it.
Furthermore, I dislike that it is not at all compatible with the older building systems. :)

This set is for sure no sign of upcoming new systems. Basically, you can build nothing out of it.
And I am sure, nobody here wants to build a castle out of these... ;)

best,
socrates

It will probably take ages to build as well... in a grand scale that is...

I had thought of using this to build walls between exhibits in my zoo, but I came to the same conclusion that there were not anywhere near enough of them in a set. It would take hundreds of them! I do wish they had something like this that's a little bigger. It would be nice for building really customized walls. But I guess it would seem like they were copying lego.

I wouldn't mind a small building component like this within Playmobil , it would really add to one's ability to build whatever you liked.

The points of being non combatible with existing sets and also the small size make these rather un useful. Imagine trying to buind a grand mediaval city with these one would need thousands of these !!!!

If someone wanted to build a castle with thousands of little building blocks, there's another toy for that!  :lol:

Well, not even that. The Lego-Castles come with huge wall chunks, obviously inspired by steck. ;)
