This question has been into my mind for over a year now and I have been in suffering ( in a playmobil content ) by that question. After much debate and medidation despite my dedication for steck and love for old mediaval playmobil i have decided to go ahead and buy the entite DRAGONLAND collection and added it to my playmobil mediaval/magic set up. I hope they are still available at Playmobil Hellas as I am goign there either today or tomorrow morning to get them all !!!!!
There are never enough dragons I say

Good call! I like this Dragonland series and it is indeed available! I have bought each set several times for customisation, dioramas etc..
-
I fully agree with Sir Wolf, we are only missing the big castle which my son will probably get for his bday. Werent you planning to set your medieval in December Giorginetto?
Still very much itching for pics!

First answering to Sir Gis question
Unfortunatelly i have had no time at all. I have been so busy renovating my holiday mountain home , work and recent holiday i really hope to find some time next weekend to go to the town i have all my klickies in store. no time ... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Sir Alex, the plastic quality is inferior but htese new dragons are fantastic . I cant resist them . I have 7 original green dragons, 1 red , stil to get a black one but will be getting these dragonland series for sure . cant resist them anymore !!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Good call! :yippee: We just bought two sets yesterday (4836 and 5913). Yes, the plastic is inferior and building them makes you miss steck....a lot :'( BUT- they do fit in really well and they are fun! Besides, you have to have villains, too!
Have fun and don't forget to share :picsplz:
;D

HI
I do not see where the problem with making this decision lies. If it is Playmobil it is welcome in our house, inferior thickness and all. Really the only thing I ever returned was that Chinese made fire truck, but then one could argue it was not genuine Playmobil.
Go get those sets before you are stuck in a predicament like I am. I waited too long and its gone :'(

Yes, the plastic is inferior and building them makes

Hi
If you look at playmobil's current trend with rocks you will notice that the gauge of plastic is shrinking making it feel cheaper or low quality. The actual plastic is still high quality it is just getting thiner

I don't believe so, but they still want to make more money. ;)
-
Also realize that Phthalates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalates) have been prohibited. So it might not just be making more money, but also about making sure the sets keep roughly the same prize because the materials have become more expensive as they need to look for alternatives.
(I am not sure if they are used but I know it has had an impact on our production)

Less Plastic: Less raw materials costs, less transport costs, bigger profit margins and more resource friendly products .. a win win situation for playmobil
The Golden era of Playmobil is long long as are the Hans Beck days , I am glad i lived it as a young boy and witnessed playmobil coming out in the market ....
I am picking up all the dragonland series tomorrow plus some other ' goodies' called them today and they will be expecting me tomorrow , they had put the sets on the side for me .... cant wait till tomorrow .. :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

I don't think you will be disappointed in this theme. Its a good one.

HI
and a win/lose for us. We get more products due to the higher profits but flimsier toys . I for one would prefer less amount at a higher quality.
Congratulations on your decision to get the sets. I have not picked them up yet but we have some time before they are discontinued here in the US

Sounds like a wise decision! If you change your mind you can always sell them, but if you don't buy them before they're gon e you could regret it very much!
-
I can't give an opinion on the dragonland sets because I don't have any set from that theme
however I can tell you I have resigned myself to accepting that steck will not come back, at least not any time soon...if you buy some system x sets that you like that doesn't make you unloyal to steck / old style playmobil, in my humble opinion ;)
-
Let me remind you of this thread! ;)

Good decision - the more Playmo the better! Show us photos when you get your new sets. :)

Yes, just like everyone else...... 8}

I don't want to disappoint you but I think that Playmobil Hellas central shop doesn't have what you are looking for. I was there about 3 weeks ago and I did not find any dragon set :'(, I hope you will be more lucky than me. :crossed:

Hi depends on your definition of "near future" . With playmobil's current trends themes do not last very long at all, 1-3 years . I have been rethinking my purchasing strategies due to this . I now try to only let a year go by before I get sets. I used to use the German discontinuing info as a warning of a set or theme being phased out which would give us a one year last call in the US but even this is proving unreliable now. It still works most of the time but I hate to lose the easy opportunity to get what I need for our collection.
I just hope US Playmobil is not trying to keep up with typical short attention spanned American kids
