I paid £10.49 ($15.92) on ebay on Sunday for this - (advertised as Knights and Castle spares) ......

and ..............this..................... .............. ;D

The gallery photo was of the knights etc in picture 1 and unless you really looked at the second picture it looked as if the castle spares were only the few bits in with the knights when in fact there are 113 castle pieces -

the auction ended around 10am on Monday morning too which really helped. Some of it's a bit discoloured, but it's steck! ;D ;D :yippee: :yippee: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Together with this house I got a couple of weeks ago for £9.99 I'm one happy bunny ;D ;D
It ended on a Sunday evening and I was the only bidder! - it was advertised as a medival house - just shows the importance of learning to spell! :D

I think it's probably from the castle but with some changes - what do you think?
I don't mind what it is, it's my first timber framed house. Hopefully the first of many ;D

Congratulations, Elaine! You got the pot(s) of gold at the end of the rainbow! :irish:

9p that's a good price +shipping or with shipping ?
i think the house is from the catalogue with the extra sets ,not of any castle or set. but it's clean and nice , usually the original sets are old and they turn brown if they are not in the box. many sellers change the dirty part's with some new from the extra catalog so more people will bid. you can find many of these houses in the extra catalogue (in good i can say prices 30 euros in greece)i think at the time there is a blue a yellow one and the classic white one in greece on the funpark

:lol: When I only saw the first picture I didn't think much of your bargain, but with the second picture suddenly I saw your point!
That's a great price for that load of steck, and if you can use the figures and bits all the better! The lanterns and their sconces should certainly prove useful, and there's some useful hats in there.
The Medival (sic) house could be the add-on version, but more likely it's from the 3666 castle, both have three solid walls on the ground floor, but the add-on single houses have dormer on both sides of the roof, and not the open roof panel, or at least the current crop do. The House with Barn still features the open roof panels on one side.

You outbid me Elaine!
Only joking :D I can't believe I never spotted these myself 8}

That's not a bad buy at all.
looking at the parts I'm almost certain that what you have there is an almost complete 3446 small castle. The big clue there is the cockerel weather vane, it was also used on the watch tower 3445 but you have to many parts plus the double gates for it to be 3445.
So it's a really good price for a castle.

Bravo Elaine!! :clap: :clap: :)9 That is a wonderful haul, congratulations!! :wave:

:o :o :o

Many thanks everyone for all your nice comments :)

I think you're right Sir Gareth, I'm going to try and build what I can (I may need some help with instructions though) and I'll post a photo when I've finished, however it'll probably be next weekend as it's my 'produce fair week' so I'll be busy baking for most of the week 8}
Just to add to the collection I treated myself (it was Mother's Day last weekend and I knew Sandy wouldn't think to take the boys shopping :() these klickies cost more than the castle though!!

Cool .. The blacksmith tools are one of my dreams, but _I'm_ currently out of market, so I'll have to wait a little more .. (they come in the new castle ..)
The girl's shoulder bucket carrier is, according to Richard, among the two rarest bits in the playmo universe ...

The shoulder bucket carrier might be called a "yoke", Gus.
Gus, what's the other one of "the two most rare bits in the Playmo universe"?
All the best,

Oh .. yoke, sorry =/
That prison tower (3445) balcony

That prison tower (3445) balcony
That's probably true, Gus!
I remember when David and I built Thornrose Castle (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4207.0), we could only find two balconies in my entire Steck collection!

These balconies are rare. I guess i have a fair amount of steck and mediaval sets etc etc , only 3 balconies though , 1 froo 3445 and two from old mediaval castle sets.. They do look very nice and they are hard to find .... :love:
