Vintage Playmobil Magic Princess Castle
 #4255 Royal Treasury Complete with Box
 Near Mint (B)

Picture
Here is a VHTF Playmobil Magic Princess Castle #4255 Royal Treasury with
its original box for your inspection.  Manufactured by Playmobil from
1996-13, this #4255 Magic Princess Castle Royal Treasury was designed to connect to and extend the original Playmobil Magic Princess Castle #4250. 
I've painstakingly examined the contents of this set and it's 100%
complete.  I've also included a Xerox copy of the instructions that
accompanied this set.
 


This sturdy structure is highly coveted by collectors and children alike.  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 etc.  together for uninterrupted play.
  



The set features a Burglar ransacking the Royal Treasury Room.  A Royal Guard happens upon the scene and after a scuffle, handcuffs the Burglar and rescues the royal treasure from being stolen.  This set possesses incredible detail.  Check out the abundance of "jewels" in the royal blue treasure chest, the "gold plated" armor, sword, jewelry and crown displayed around the room.  Although the lattice doors were supposed to be locked and the keys to the room were still in their lawful place, somehow this Burglar gained entry into the Royal Treasury and attempted to abscond with a variety of different treasures.  While some of these treasures (e.g. rare vase, silver teapot, golden pitcher and statue etc.) were locked in the "wooden" display case, the Burglar also
managed to access these before being foiled by the Royal Guard.   
 


The set is accompanied by its original box which provides a reference regarding all of the components included in this offering.  The box exhibits minimal corner edge wear.  On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being perfect, I
would rate this box as being an 9.0/10.
  


FYI, Playmobil  toys are renowned for their high quality, durability, attention to detail, and  the extendibility of their underlying toy system. All figures are scaled to fit in a child's hand with add-on accessories (e.g.  hats,
skirts, aprons, collars,  scarves, armor, head dresses, shoes, sandals, jewelry etc.) lending authenticity to the different characters involved.  The jointed figures are able to clasp items in their hands and move about through "child power." A wide assortment of vehicles, animals, furniture, and buildings are realistically scaled
according to their "real-life" equivalents and to reflect actual life scenarios. Several of the animals have mouths that open and close and the elephants' trunks can pick up buckets by their handles etc.. 
 


All of Playmobil's play sets revolve around  established "themes" familiar to young children (e.g. Medieval Castles and Knights, Pirates, Western Forts, Native Americans, Trains, Stage Coaches, Gold Mines, Circuses,
Zoos, Victorian Mansions, Fairy Tale Castles, Sherwood Forest, Construction, Doctors and Dentists' Offices, Hospitals, Airports, Modern Homes etc.).
 


Given the high level of detail, children's imaginations are afforded endless open-ended play opportunities. Not only do these toys broaden a child's imagination, creativity, attention, and use of elaborate oral narratives, they also have earned numerous toy awards and conform to the highest production standards of quality and safety in accordance with European and American safety guidelines. These toys,  while primarily
manufactured in Germany, also are produced in Malta and  Spain.  They are distributed in more than 70 countries throughout the world. 
 
 


I  can vouch for the high quality and play value these toys afford. My own  children played with a variety of these sets up until age 13! Talk about getting "your bang for the  buck." Several of them were employed in  school diorama projects. What a lifesaver! I also used them with my pre-school and school aged clients for speech-language therapy. They'd be great for families that are home-schooling  their children.     


Due to the small, intricate parts, Playmobil recommends that these toys be reserved for  children 4 years of age and up. However, my daughter, who never mouthed her toys and was advanced for her age, received her
first Playmobil toys at 2 1/2 years of age. Adult supervision is highly recommended for children under 3-4 years of 
age.
   
 


This is an awesome set and one to provide many years of fun. 

This set  weighs @2 lbs. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN  (47905).
