Boy! am I happy about my new castle! 3666+3888

Hi everyone!

I'm new around here, so I hope I'm at the right place to share with you my new acquisition.... I already had an almost complete 3888 "Castle deffenders" set, but this week-end I was lucky enough to get my hands on an almost complete set #3666 "Large castle". 

Since these two sets could be lock together, boy was I anxious to see those assembled..... I was happy to get the #3666 plans on the Playmobil site....

It's probably not 100% authentic with a few missing parts, but nevertheless it looks really great!

Enjoy!

Welcome to the ranks of 3666 owners. Many of us around here love the Steck system sets and do as much as we can with them. Some even consider them holy. 
It seems like however many castle parts you have you always need just a bit more to do the next cool project you have planned.

that is awesome! i am looking to get my hands on some of those soon! all the ones i have found seem to be a bit too pricey for my pocketbook right now.
those are beautiful! thanks for sharing the pictures!

Thanks for the good words....

One simple question for you Tim.... I'm probably ignorant or something, but when you say "Steck system", what do you mean?  Is there another system, because for me it's the only one I know....

Cheers from Canada!

Two great buys there - congratulations!   

As well as the Steck system, Playmobil's other majoer building system is System-X.

If you go here:

you can query on the set numbers and check what parts you have missing.

Congratulations, a few months ago I got mine after wanting it ever since it first appeared in catalogues. 
Especially since my avatar(s) where part of my first real knights set and its their home.

While theres no instructions for it, the 3888 expansion seems to go pretty well on the other side too, just takes a bit of adjusting here and there. If you like I can show you a picture of how that could look.

Hi Rhalius,

Sure I would be happy to see your pictures of the set 3888 on the other side...

Alright here it is.



Some other sets from the associated factions are also included here, and I used the castle in this shape for my "Frederick and the dark knights" story. 

I just felt it seemed like the defences would be better distributed this way and I like how the house has the central position now, just my preference though.

It's getting harder and harder not to own steck and medieval klicky's along with it.    Must withstand!
