(...) so (...) Well, here's a question for you: what kind of box is it? Is it the 4x8?x2? battery box with the single grey button (runs off 1 9v battery), or the 4x12?x3? battery box w/ 2 buttons (runs off 6 AA batteries)? I think (if memory serves) (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

Hi all, At the risk of being jumped on simultaneously, by thousands of AFOL's (or having thousands of Timmy's thrown at me) I just finished having a look at the playmobil site, and came away with much food for thought.
