A classic piece of Playmobil to treasure!

The piece you missed off the round tower is a buttress, btw.

It remains interesting that its actually one of few sets that pretty much anyone interested in playmobil knows the number of.  :)

Generally not called a 3666 either, but "the" 3666. Kind of shows how much awe most people have for it! Pretty sure I also named it "the" 3666 when making my own topic for it shortly after joining the forums. In fact I first thought someone revived my very old topic when I noticed the topic title.  :-[

Just found it, seems it is named the same exept I used a . instead of a ! behind it.

Very interesting observations, it does seem to be one of the only sets that collectors refer to as "the".

What a coincidence concerning the topic names! Perhaps that is due to the majesty of the 3666. To me, the use of arrival brings to mind a royal procession of some sort.

I certainly remember buying this back in 2002.  I was supposed to be buying train tickets, but while in town, I decided to have a little look in the toy shop and then I kind of found myself coming out with the 3666 in my arms....

Later: 'You know those train tickets I was supposed to be buying?  Well, come and look at this which I bought instead!!'

Never did take the train trip.
