Oh, that's really interesting news, Gaston! Hopefully it will be decent quality, that would be great.

Is this rare, or is it still produced?

mmm ... as far as I know, Quality wasn't their best point. But it might have changed.
I will keep clear of it as long as I am unsure about that...

i guess the flight to argentina is included to pick it up )

The $ seems to be the Argentinian Peso (ARS), you'll need to convert: 1 EUR = 5,69546 ARS, so the castle will cost around 105€ (or convert again to US dollars) :wave:

exactly, it is about 105 euro.
it is a new production, but it could be considered rare because this set has never been produced by Antex before, I think.
I will get one and let you know.

are u able to get antex products regulary?

THIS IS MUSIC TO MY EARS !!!! STECK IS BACK !!!!!!!! STECK IS BACK AND WITH THE ORIGINAL PROPER FORTIFICATIONS . STECK IS BACK !!!! STECK IS BACK !!!!!!!!
:yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
Now, i wonder how easy and/or possible will be for me to get a few of these sets ......
-
That's a great set. This happens to be the first complete steck castle I bought off ebay when I first started collecting. I was gonna say along time ago but never got around to it that selling the rights to produce steck castles could be the answer we are looking for. I personally like the newer scalloped battlements but I can use the older style as well. Maybe one day they will produce the 3666!
-
They're smart.
I hope they sell much more than Geobra, so that Zirndorf learns a lesson >:(
-

I live in Argentina, so yes! ;D

George let me get one first, and see the quality and most of all how well it connects to Geobra's steck. Im sure the color will be different at least.
I'll post a review when I have it.
Maybe one day they will produce the 3666!
My wish exactly!!

If the quality would appear to be good, you'd better start a 3446-shop, Tonguello! ;D ;D ;D

And Nürenberg Guards, Geroge, there's one on the wall.
(the soldier on the ground doesn't seem to have the appropriate torso).

yes, in the 80's. I don't know about the very one you showed, but Antex made that set.

yes they do..
has anyone notised? on the bottom of the box they have a western figure ,shouldn't it be a knight? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

antex has kept producing some variations of the eskimo sets...that doesn't mean the eskimos are coming back (at least they haven't, that i know)
same witht those space, zoo, etc vintage looking sets - i think antex's sets are just not as updated as their German counterparts...
-
It looks like my wish to santa was granted ... steck and nuremberg back in argentina ... i wonder if DS orders are possible from Antex, eg can someone order like 100 nuremberg guards ???

Tonquello , seriously as this is very big news for me with reference to steck parts etc , please let me know if you buy one of these sets how they compare to the rest if there are any issues etc . If that castle is fine, i will seriously look into possibilities of buying a lot of these sets. The company i work for imports a lot of metals from Argentina, i am sure for example we can find space for a couple of dozen of these beauties in a cargo ship :loco:
-
ok I will buy one, but not sure when. I'm too busy at work and when I get out of the office all toy stores are closed.
I'll try this weekend... can't promise though...
I will review it later on. :)
-
Looking forward to hearing all about it!

That Cargo ship of your company won't pass the port of Antwerp by accident, George :!: :!: :!: ? I'm interested in at least a couple of those as well, not that I don't have the 3446, I want to feel the thrill again to open a brand new steck castle box!! Every one knows that sourish scent of newly boxed steck pieces.

I look forward to a review of this fab set and to ( hopefully ) order a few .... :love: :love: :love: :love:
New nuremberg guards and new steck together... cant beat that !!! Its holy !!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Well I can tell you in advance a couple of quick things.
I GOT THE CASTLE!
It is 105 Euros.
Good news:
1) It is identical to the original one
2) The steck is great. It gets attached very strongly (maybe becaue it is new and Im used to second hand steck) and it is very hard to get appart, most of all. (for some it could be bad news)
That's all the good news there are.
Bad news
1) The box weights around 9 pounds. To ship from here would it cost a fortune. You better get a steck molding machine cheaper than that. :lol:
2) the clickies are terrible and their faces are printed, not done with 2 different plastics >:(
3) Though the steck pieces are great in shape and color, there are different shades of grey in the same box. I don't care about that but I know some people do!
4) The accesories are not exactly like what you see in the box. The lady's veil and basket are different.
5) One chest plate is chromed but the helmets are grey.
6) The stickers for the shields at either side of the gate DO NOT EXIST >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
7) The are some extra stickers that don't fit anywhere in the set ::)
8) It was very hard to find. Most toys stores didn't even know about it. And where I found it they only had one.
If I can I'll post pics in the weekend but I can't promise. :(
-
Thanks for the info - I'd love to see pics...
-
I look forward to these pictures and review sir Tonquello. It has to be said my mad excitement has worn of a bit :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
-
Gastón, did you buy the castle to make the review? 8}
well, if the castle pieces are ok i guess the rest doesn't matter that much, right?
-
Thanks for the info, Gaston!
Good to hear the steck-pieces are well made. :)
To ship from here would it cost a fortune.
And then one probably also has to add huge import-taxes to the shippingcosts... ::)
-
hhmm i wonder how much a pallet full of these ( and how may would fit on a pallet ) would cost inc shipping to greece . I might give this some serious thought as i think there might be a good market for this set in europe ... ( no, no i am not talking about giorginetto buying it all for himself.. that will a second pallet probably .... :loco:)
-
Great news, Gaston, thanks indeed for the info! Looking forward to the pictures! :wave: :wave: :wave:
-
Gastón, did you buy the castle to make the review? 8}
Oh no no! I bought it because I wanted that castle .
I don't have much steck. Just a 3888, a 3667, the Baron tower and 3 timber houses. I needed more pieces. And for me IT IS cheaper than importing steck buildings, cause they are too heavy.
hopefully pics will follow this weekend. :)
