(...) I definitely agree. I just bought the castle at the same price at KB in the Natick Mall, and I like it a lot. I mean, I wouldn't say it's the coolest set I've ever seen, but it does have all those cool stuff Jeff mentioned. And if you'd ever (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)

I looked at the Playmobile web site, and discovered that they have cannons too. Can the Playmobile cannon shoot? If so, how is it safer than its Lego counterpart? Cheers, Hao-yang Wang (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

(...) The U.S. versions of Playmobil cannons don't shoot either. The only possibility of finding one might be if a U.S. retailer ordered their stock from a European distributor, but that would be rare. Timbo (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)
