Hi friends!
During the last weeks discussions I learned one thing for sure: The most wanted item is the 4-side connector for walls.
Well, this morning I found at klickywelt.de that the german collectors feel completely the same.
They formulated a petition and put it onto a postcard that everyone interested posted this monday to the german DS.
Now they hope that DS resp Playmobil might consider to rerelease the connector in wall-gray.
(The brown one is not available anymore. :-\ )
So, let's see what is happening.
I thought I share the pictures momo designed at klickywelt. They are just wonderful! :)
best,
socrates
P.S.: The core message is that they love playmobil and are serious collectors since years and they really want to have the connectors back (in gray!) and everyone can estimate how many 4-pieces sets they would purchase for sure...
-
Momo did another sketch before.. :love:
But they decided to go for the simple plain 4-side connector, because Playmobil already have the mould and just need to start the machines for doing this...
But I think, this would be a dream come true... :D

Hey, if you like to, I could also make a postcard with the collected number of sets we would buy.
So, how many would you take (only serious numbers please!)...

socrates

This is an excellent idea, as it is just so frustrating coming up with an excellent design, finding out it needs a 4-wayer, and then having to bodge it with soething else (well in my case anyway as I haven't even got the brown one!) :-[
When you say how many sets, are we talking 1 piece, as I think a nice figure of 6 or 12 pieces would be enough for me (I can't decide as they are both nice numbers!)
-
Fantastic - thanks for letting us know about this, Socrates!
I would order 10 sets of 4 pieces without even blinking!
-
This is fantastic socrates!!! Very good job!!! Maybe we could do the same and post them a similar post card!!!
My estimated guess would be 100 sets of four pieces ;D ;D ;D
-
Apologies I can't read today! :doh:
3 sets :)

:omg:
If this is the size you guys typically buy steck, I do not wonder why you wouldn't just change to another building system...

Yes it is!!! ;D ;D ;D The larger a castle, the better!!!!

note!!
i wonder if the people are so crazy about steck why they are so many available on ebay and cheap as well?

Since more people are buying steck, sellers want to sell more...thus lowering the prices...and they will sell more in lower prices than little in higher prices!!!
-
Going back on topic ;D - I would like to buy some - but not that many.
They are cool and open up new options - but MacGayver is right; with a little extra effort you can build around them (most of the times) ...
I think they become more usefull when the building becomes larger and more complex.
Unfortunately I lach the space for the first and steck-parts for the last ;D.
so a packet or 2 to 4 will be more then enough for me ...

yes true!!!!!!!

I think I would order 32 pieces to start with :-) It would make building so much easier. I was lucky to get one in a Steck lot last week (without knowing, a beautiful surprise) and there was one place where it was needed right away but would have optimized the building in a couple of other places.
Probably will quickly order another 32.
-
I'd go for 5 sets each of 4 pieces.
-
I'm going to send in such a card!
-
I couldn't really give you a number of pieces I would order...
I don't work quite that way.
I buy a castle and then attatch it to the castle I have in some way shape or form.
So if they produced a castle with those pieces in it, I would like it alot...
But I would probably in all fairness buy only, like, 2 packages of four.
-
3 or 4 sets of four and that would get me by for now. Steck prices here in the US on ebay is getting outrageous high for me.
-
I would also buy a couple of sets maybe five! If this happens the run will probably be a one time only thing.

I agree if it's a one time only thing then I guess I'd get about 8 - 10 sets but if it was regular 4 sets for sure, what I'd really love would be the same thing but 5 slots high to use on the Victorian houses instead! :P
-
I would get many, many of them for sure! If it was a one time thing I would load up. Like Emma, I would also buy taller, Victorian 4-way connectors, though that would still require customized base plates for the house.
-
Can a newby join on the group order as well? ;D I would be happy to get two sets. :wave:

A formal intruduction of yourself is in order 123grams, in the Welcome board....
-
I would need 60 pieces :yippee:
-
Thanks, Socrates!
Since I ordered 24 pieces of the light brown 4-way connector (30 05 3070) when it was available from DS, I would definitely order at least 24 pieces of a gray 4-way connector!
All the best,
Richard

Woohoooo !!! <:> <:> <:> <:> <:> <:> <:> <:> <:> <:> <:>
I want a total of 100 of these connectors !!!!!!!!!! I only read this thread just now and its so so so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!! So if a set has 4 connectors I want 25 of these ( hopefully) new sets !!!!
:yippee: :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:

Hi
Last week I received a mail from Mrs. Schweinitz.
She asks me if would come from international forums even more requirements.
So far, 1,000 copies have been requested and they would like to make a calculation now.
If anyone still has needs, he may like to write a card to Geobra 8-)
Greetings Ute

WOW, thats great news. Although I can't imagine that number being high enough one can hope *crosses fingers*
I think these are just initial numbers. Once people start their designs they will ALWAYS need more!
/me has his hopes up!
-
I have a feeling we shall be steck constructing with 4 way connectors soon !!! and that will open the road to bring back steck i reckon !!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
