Exclamation PLAYMOBIL ROMANS I'm ruined.

Hey folks,

One of the things I like to collect outside of galactica is PLAYMOBIL toys.

They just announced for next year's release a humongous line of ROMAN themed sets including a COLISEUM measuring 83 cm in diameter!

There are chariots and seige towers and longboats and gladiators and a Cleopatra special figure!

I might as well just sign over my paycheck to PLAYMOBIL right now. There's NO WAY my wife will NOT purchase EVERY set in the line! And it's all my fault. I created the precedent with my collecting Playmobil in the first place.

Hmm...how much do they pay for a pint of blood these days? Better start scavenging the couch for change to buy a lottery ticket.

Cool!!

Wouldn't it be great if they did the people of the Empire as well? The barbarians of Germania and Brittania?? Ohh, Vandals, Visigoths, the Iceni and Boudicca??

Cheers,
Lara

Well, it's really cool and all, but I doubt if the line will go beyond the typical roman stuff. The Roman line was the DIRECT result of adult collectors of Playmobil making a fuss. The good folks over at PLAYMOBOARD have been hammering the Brandstatter company for about three years for Romans.

They did some market testing with little individual characters in boxes dressed as Roman soldiers and they sold like no other. It was crazy.

So they went ahead with the line.
