Thanks for posting.

I wish there were more such events in Belgium, in places reachable in a decent way with public transport. (I never learned to drive a car  :-[ )
France & Spain these days certainly seem to have become "The Holy Land" concering big playmo-expositions.

As a big fan of the Renaissance-era, it is great to see Michael and Lydia (Macgayver & Rapunzel) are still touring around with their superb "Versailles" diorama. I think it is the only (or one of the few) big diorama´s that has been on display across Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands since 5 years now. I saw it live in Templeuve (France) in 2012.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Simply amazing. I would love to see this exhibition in person.

Great to see a Gallic war scene, I assume it's the battle of Alesia. Playmobil really need to have a dedicated line of Gauls instead of the barbarian/viking knockoffs they called Gauls.

What's the building by the Princess castle that looks like a tower under construction?

They did a Gaul chieftain and a three klicky Gaul soldier set in the original Roman theme. They looked like Asterix knockoffs to me (I still like them, the Gaul chieftain is one of my all time favorite klickies).

Why oh why do European news sites never have large high resolution pictures? It just kills me to see tiny fuzzy images of such glorious stuff.  :wall:

Some great customisation going on - I think someone there is selling on Ebay because they look very familiar.
