That's so weird - the fact that it seems to come with the figures makes me think it's old stock, but why would they still have  sets from 15 years ago knocking around in the warehouse?!

It is just amazing! One of the oldest and most iconic System-X buildings brought back into production. :yippee: One figure more this time. I thought System X was too complicated for impatient modern children and their parents? At any rate, great news. Geobra never ceases to surprise me.

Perhaps it was brought back because it shares quite a few parts (in different colours, occasionally) with the recently produced 70465 Palace on Olympus?

 :lol: :lol:

I wonder what it will retail at? Mostly because the new 'Large Princess Castle' is 170 Euros, and it would be strange to market something in direct competition to it that was significantly cheaper (on the other hand, I've just noticed on the website that you can buy 70205 for 145E, or with the expansion floor and a family for 135E so maybe expecting any consistency on the pricing front is too much  :lol )

Interesting discussion but in the end we're left with the same conclusion. Geobra's different direction is the way down, not for children but for adult collectors. It's like the story of the boiling frog. If you compare a 2020 catalog with a 2018 one, the difference is not that big, but compared with a 1994 catalog you can write a book about what went wrong (let's narrow to historical themes, some modern life stuff is still enjoyable). I cannot deny I'm currently losing interest in the hobby which shouldn't be :( Golden times for figure customizers, hard times for building customizers.

I wonder if 9879 is an experiment to see if older sets could attract modern purchasers?

I think that makes sense. 70077 (Marla in the Fairytale castle) also has parts from the 3019 castle, or identical ones made with modern molds.

It's certainly the largest set that's been re-issued - and one of the bigger sets that isn't wider available second hand, seemingly

And I found some more!  Just pictures for now, no other info. Looks like the Weekend Warrior was a hit... Some nice playboxes too.
