I went through a stage of searching ebay for these (we had bought a lot of pirate sets for christmas and I had visions of battles ala 'Pirate of the Caribbean"). Am looking forward to seeing the pics!

No strange at all Alex!! I am a fan of naval history, and of course service in the navy drives you to become fanatic....I really love that period of history...and the uniforms (appart from the seabattles) especially!!!
I think that if i contacted playmobil hellas and asked them for a 100 of these they might have freaked out...and besides...its more fun to chase them around....

Usually a private buyer can't buy more than 9 of any individual Special figure direct from Playmobil in a single order, they seem to think if you buy 10 or more you plan to sell them on. Phoning them and explaining you want them all for yourself may get round this difficulty.

I see nothing strange in buying multiples of any uniformed figure, that's how we build armies, and of course navies.

True Martin... I did it with other itmes i am collecting...If you explain to them they are more keen to send them... Glad my suspicion was true and confirmed!!!! ;)

Same here, and I have got a few tucked away somewhere, but not more than a dozen I think. They go in with my Pirate theme, and as their uniform is fancier than most, they will probably act as a personal honor guard to a bigwig Govenor or General, or as a Palace Guard.

I really like these figures, and wish Playmobil would use the Specials series to produce more unusual figures like this, rather than an endless series of variations on knights and pirates (of which I have plenty thank you).
