Playmobil’s Romans get reinforcements
As promised, here are more details of Playmobil’s new Romans. The remaining items allow you to add extra soldiers to other sets in the range.
The Roman Warriors set comes with five soldiers (including a standard-bearer) and a firing crossbow. There are shields, swords and spears (or pilum, for those who know their Asterix). They cost around £9.99.
More firepower comes in the form of the Firing Catapult, which can hurl flaming missiles at anybody who stands up to the Roman legions. There are two soldiers to operate the catapult (and they look very happy in their work, it must be said) and you get three fiery missiles. The price is around £6.99.
Telling everybody where to go and who to fight is the job of the emperor, and you can get one for your Playmobil Roman world for around £3.99. With a gold laurel wreath, some grapes and a goblet of wine, he’s all ready to read out the latest law he’s just passed.
The Warrior with Horse (around £3.99) looks rather important in his gold armour and red cloak and he comes with a mighty steed to carry him into battle. Assemble a few of these together and you’ve got an instant cavalry regiment.
Other Roman soldiers are available through Playmobil’s direct service. You can get a set of three warriors or three legionaries for around £6.25 a set, plus Centurion and Tribune figures for around £2 each.
Do you have the Playmobil number for the 5 Roman Warriors?
Also are you able to advise where these can be purchased from?
Hello,
Playmobil has now discontinued the main Roman line, but you can still get figures as part of the Playmobil Direct service. These figures are not available in the shops and they arrive in a bag rather than a box but are otherwise just the same.
You can get a three Roman soldier set here – http://www.playmobil.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-GB-Site/en_GB/Product-Show?pid=7878&cgid=Ds_Figuren – and also a Tribue figure here – http://www.playmobil.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-GB-Site/en_GB/Product-Show?pid=7879&cgid=Ds_Figuren. If those links don’t work for you, go to the Playmobil site, click on the ‘Accessories’ link, then browse through the ‘Figures’.
There are also a few more sets, including some more figures, here – http://www.playmobil.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-GB-Site/en_GB/Search-Show?cgid=Ds_Roemer.
I hope that is helpful!
Hello, Playmobil Mum. The five Roman soldier’s number is 4271. You can find them in some toy stores who carry discontinued Playmobil, but your best chance is eBay. Hope this helps!
