I wait or other collectors send us stuff and have never used amazons international service. There is a tread with many good reviews. We collect every single theme so we get quite overloaded with " I need that set" list.

An unwanted 3666, please keep us in mind when you decide to retire it. There are about 4 dozen collectors in here who will use it no matter it's condition.

With the one castle being your kids memories I understand wanting a newer one. We only have stecks castles so I have no opinion one the "lion" and the new one.

If you are undecided about getting the lion castle, I wrote a review about it here on the site with many pictures.

http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=13594.0

It might help you decide wether to get this one or wait for the new one.

Personly I like the look of both castles, though I personly dislike the look of the soldiers for the upcomeing medieval theme. They look like clowns while these yellow lions look quite nice. They just have too much knights compared to the amount of soldiers, but a DS order can fix that.

TRU seems to have lots of influence over at Geobra as was seen with the recent "made in China" sets only for the US market.

Wait, what? PM made in China??

my speculations was that the green car was delayed due to TRU's FAO set containing the same car and TRU wanting collectors to buy the overpriced Victorian hut set. TRU seems to have lots of influence over at Geobra as was seen with the recent "made in China" sets only for the US market.

I also questioned if the green Victorian car was delayed in the US due to TRU's Victorian set. But I didn't realize some Playmobil sets are made in China.

Thank you for the recommendations of trying to get Playmobil early. I don't know anything about the new castle, but I will be watching the Kindergarten and the new Modern House sets.

The Costco sets, and apparently some of the TRU sets, though I don't go to TRU. Last I heard, they were sending the molds back to Europe. I hope that's the end of that.

A couple of the vehicles produced two or so years ago were made in China and it was a big disaster for the company. They wont be doing it again.
