"Baggy Sleeves" ... ???

Baggy sleeves = Samurai!

Hmmm ...  :hmm:

Do you suppose that Zirndorf has something up their sleeve, Jimmy ... ???

Let's see ... if the Egyptians come out in late August ... is it possible that Playmobil might also introduce a NEW Japanese theme in late October or early November ... ???

Nah ... That's too much to hope for ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

I simply must have ALL of it! :yup: :yup: :yup:

(Cost/lack of storage is no longer important. ::) ;))

I agree.  The only question I ask myself is, how many of each set to get? These are fantastic!!! Better than the Romans by far.

Wow!

That is a cubit or so wide and high!  Didn't think it would be that big.
Great stuff.

Best regards,
Jimbo

I can see a line next to the stairs on the left on the baseplate, so I'm guessing that'll be two pieces so it can fit in one of their current big boxes.

That is indeed huge, going to make a major centrepiece.

Remember the rickshaw in the Fairies theme? I will be surprised if there isn't some kind of Asian theme in the next 2 years

Rickshaws (from Japanese "Jin-rik-sha" : person-powered-car) are probably more emblematic of 19th century Shanghai or WWII Tokyo.

Medieval Japanese officials rode in covered palanquins.  Rikshas would only properly belong to an urban environment, used for shuttling locals and tourists (even medieval tourists) around town.

But that's OK.  I'm glad to see the Japanese fetish has shifted to subjects other than ninjas!!!

Brilliant observation, Jimbo!   :yup:
According to the info on playmobil.de the pyramid measures 53 x 53 x 35 cm (or approx 21" x 21" x 13.75") and, according to wikipedia, the ancient Egyptian Royal Cubit was 52.35 to 52.4 cm (though the standard today is one cubit = 18" or almost 46 cm.) 

Is this merely a lovely coincidence?   8-)

Thanks for the new pix Richard & Andi!

We should never underestimate Jimbo's wonderful wealth and breadth of knowledge ... ;)

I've always found that it's absolutely amazing what (and how much) those old flyboy sailors just intuitively seem to know ... :lol:

All the best,
Richard
