Title: Merry Men's Feast
Post by: Macruran on April 25, 2016, 23:32:26
Just got mine. Boy is this ever a cool set. There's a narrative to it but it's flexible (no "angry" faces) and there are enough parts to play out various scenarios. It's exactly the kind of cultural set I think they should do more of. Famous themes from European history, but with a fun touch.

WHAT A COOL SET. I AM GLAD I GOT ONE BEFORE THEY VANISH.

I really enjoy mine, as well. I'd like to get another monk & tree, so maybe I'll try ordering another in the near future. I understand this may be easier said than done.

Oak trees show up on ebay all the time - I think I have three now. And don't forget set 3631 for another take on the priest figure! (Actually I think the 6464 guy is a Dominican and 3631 is a Franciscan. That's my take anyway.)

Sigh... 3631 is certainly wonderful but expensive - I see ones on Ebay for $33 & on Amazon for $70.

Just keep a watch on it and a cheap one will turn up. I didn't pay that much for mine. Fluke deals happen because PM isn't as popular as e.g. L*go.

Just noticed that the Feast is called "Group of Outlaws" on PM.us. How very modern!

A pity it had such a short run, one of the best sets of this theme.

Yeah, it was very frustrating when I was trying to find it via search because it wasn't coming up with any of the keywords I tried. I hope it comes back in stock.


(Dear Playmobil US, please let me fix your search.)

The Tailor's Shop is now unavailable - that was next on my list.

I clicked on "add reminder" - hopefully enough will do that to bring more stock over? Just an idea...

Hi!

This new merry men's feast from the DS catalog (set #6464)... is it exactly the same (color, pieces, etc..) as the original (set #3627)

Thanks!

Yes.
The only difference is no box.

According to the spare-parts list available on the official website, there have been a few parts updated to new numbers; the tree trunk and one of the hats come to mind. For some reason, this is one of the very few sets without its plans available for download (how spoiled we've become!) so I don't have a complete inventory yet; but as soon as I get my hands on the instructions, I'll get it done, and report the discrepancies.

Group of Outlaws is back, as well as the Tailor's Shop. With the 20% sale happening, I got the shop.

Old and new sets compared here (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=15599.0). Identical except for updated part numbers.

Well I had a closer look at the figure, expecting to find his diocese tattooed on the back of his neck, but it turns out that he's actually a member of the...

CHURCH POLICE
