Thank you and Knusperkeks for the pics, Andi. The new theme is certainly impressive, although it's not one I'll collect. It looks as if it might be pricey, although oen can't be certain without knowing the size of the things like the buildings and the pyramids. Presumably the decoration will be printed on rather than in the form of stickers, although either I would have thought would, again, be expensive to produce.
I wonder, too, how popular the theme will be in Europe and America. Both areas see themselves as having direct links with the Romans, but ancient Egypt? Maybe Playmobil is looking at other markets though. I think they may be looking to areas such as North Africa and the Near East for new markets.
