Vintage Playmobil #3019 Fairy Tale Castle
99.9% Complete/ NEAR MINT-MINT
(E) (retired)
"A dream is a wish your heart makes....." so goes the famous song from Walt Disney's "Cinderella." Here is a dream castle that will enthrall your little princess. Manufactured by Playmobil from 1998-05, this #3019 Fairy Tale Castle comes complete with Xeroxed assembly instructions and all of its contents. I've painstakingly accounted for every piece and this offering is 100% complete. The only things missing from this offering are the original box and the two sided poster that accompanied the set. This is a set that is highly coveted by collectors and children alike. It was retired in 2005 and replaced by a smaller, less intricate castle (e.g. Playmobil's 4250 Magic Castle with Princess Crown).
The Fairy Tale Castle resembles Cinderella's Castle at Disney World with its three floors, deep blue turrets and gold finials, lattice covered windows, a sweeping spiral staircase that connects all of the floors, a secret hiding place under the blue curved roof, and crisp white railings throughout. This castle is a delight.... both visually and in extended play scenarios. I've included an array of photos showing this Castle fully assembled. The Castle parts are free of any discoloration, breaks, or cracks. My camera really doesn't do justice to this set. I was trying to photograph this set when the sunshine was coming in and trying to gauge whether to use a flash or not. These castle pieces are truly white. This is a heirloom quality play set and one that you will want to cherish for years.
The Castle comes complete with a mesmerizing blue/lime green chandelier that hangs suspended over the entrance to the castle room. The castle room itself comes with a white and blue peacock- shaped throne, a colorful carpet gracing the area in front of the throne, the elaborately garbed King and his Consort, the Queen, a Royal Guard with a golden halberd and the King's colors on a hand-held flag, elaborate golden "mirrors," fancy candelabra's, and a beautiful array of flowers scattered throughout the castle.
This is a sturdy structure. It features Playmobil's renowned System X System (e.g. both red and yellow connectors that lock into place using the special key tool). These connectors securely anchor all the walls, turrets, floors, stairways etc. together for uninterrupted play. The Xeroxed instructions illustrate one way that the castle may be configured but the possibilities are endless. The set, when assembled, is approximately 31"H x 29" W. Manufactured in Germany in 1998, this set belies Playmobil's world renowned quality and outstanding play value.
Playmobil also offered a series of "add-on" sets that were sold separately and could be added to furnish the castle itself. I have many of these other sets available for sale.
This is a fabulous set and one to provide many years of fun. It should not be given to children still mouthing their toys or under 3 years of age.
This was one of my daughter's favorite Playmobil sets. She played with it for years (e.g. between 5-13 years of age). (No, I'm not selling her set; she wants to keep it for when she has her own children:) Before they limited the number of bags one could carry on board an aircraft, I hauled this entire Castle and many of its add-on sets to our vacation destination 1500 miles away. You should have seen the expressions on the TSA inspectors. They even pried the dragon's mouth open to see if I had concealed a bomb inside. Finally, someone laughed and said, "Oh, she's a toy collector!" and let me through security.
Enchant your "princess" with a castle of her own. You won't be disappointed!
I will be Q-tip cleaning this Castle and all its accessories prior to sending it on to its new owners. My sets are immaculate. I will be shipping this set in a sturdy box via Fed Ex Home Delivery. In order to ship Fed Ex, I need a residential address, not a P.O. Box. Fed Ex also requires a contact phone number (e.g. home, cell, work place) on their paperwork. Otherwise, they will refuse to ship the package.
This set weighs @14 lbs. 15 oz. packed and my location is Lafayette, IN (47905). It will be shipped sorted and unassembled in multiple zip lock bags.
