I was tempted to order the 'new' 9879 Fairy Tale Castle, because our toddler (who just turned 5!) adores anything pink and princessy, but I opted for the latest version of the princess castle 70447 instead.



I know it's excessively pink, but, I don't know if I'm degenerating or... does it just look glorious to you too?  :lol: ;D

I'm imagining a huge green forest around it with magical creatures.

I ordered it and put it together, which cost me like three hours and made my fingers sore (such fun!), and I'm very disappointed with the small size of the rooms, but that was to be expected. Other than that: I think it's beautiful!  :love:

Nice to hear from you again Birdie. Your daughter is 5!  :o
I quite like this castle too. Those flying staircases are just so unrealistic, they must be true! Watch those turrets, they could take your eye out!

We have to assume they have magic invisible handrails  :crossed:

I KNOW, it's insane!

Actually they're made of flexible plastic to prevent that exact thing from happening  ;D

Thats because time stands still when you are playing with Playmobil!

That sundial part was used with one of those Planeta figures, an Aztec (or Maya, I get those confused).

 :(o):

The bundle you were referring to earlier is also available in the Belgian webshop... for €160  ::)

I'm nitpicking here, but I actually prefer the 4250 castle to the 3019 version. The colours make it look cleaner somehow.




Plus it came with two rooms to be added (a kitchen and a treasury) on either side, and I already have those.
