Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

I was just about to order the exact roof pieces of the maschinengebaude bauernhof. I guess I'll put that on hold for a year and invest in something else this year!!

I cannot believe there's no mention of the Colorado Springs Train Station in the posts so far!  I was quite surprised by the Merry Men's Feast! Very great additions.

Beware, don't get too excited about the retired items that showed up out of nowhere like the Wedding Tent and the Church because these items likely won't be available outside of Germany. The discontinued items typically are not as great in other countries.

Yes, and when they ARE available, prices are NOT the same...

I wonder what it would cost them to go the whole hog and produce the boxes as well, and how big the market is for this kind of thing. Im mostly critical of playmobil these days, but it's true we did get some unexpected gems over the years, with these addons.

I for one wouldn't want to pay extra to get the boxes. Especially since no set is ever 100% identical to the original.

But the Colorado Springs, and the lamp post, and the Merry Men's Feast (even if it is crazy expensive): I am over the moon 

I also love the hamburger restaurant, like Tiermann said. And all those new animals. It's gonna be a tough one on my bank account when all of this becomes available...

And I know it's not new to the catalogue, but the church! It's on my wish I'd bought at the time, but really don't need and can't quite justify list.

Same here :-)

40 euros isn't crazy expensive considering second hand price markets. It's normal for the monk to go for twenty euros, on ebay. His bible, afaik only available in this set, goes for a lot, too. 40 is decent, I think, considering how rare some parts are, like the silver spurs pn the sherrif and the purple bow tie on the long haired hussy.

But that stuff isn't rare anymore when it's re-issued... Rarity should not affect the price tag of a new item.

I just mean it's a whole lot of money for a handful of clickies, a tree, and some accessories. For 40 euros (more outside Germany), I'd expect a building or something.

But then the bell tower without the bell was over 60 euros, so no wonder

Geobra for years has been focused on scalpers, now we know a reason...... competition. 

[Bolingbroke]

he he, you have a point. im not very up to date as regards to the price of similarly sized new sets, so i wouldnt know if forty euro was expensive or not. still, you have to keep in mind how may of these sets are being produced. limited runs could affect the price ...

[Birdie]

True. And I'm still going to buy two of those Robber Feasts anyway
