Playmobil legends

[legotrainfan]

I have recently discovered some sets that were sold by Playmobil when I was a child. However, they can still be bought. So they must be revivals of old sets as LEGO legends are. Just look at some Playmobil legends I have found:

A western coach: http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.stor...cgid=Ds_Western

Why is this a legend? Well, Playmobil doesn't sell the horses of this set any more. They sell horses that look different. Also the Playmobil figure is very simply in style as they used to be.

Here are two tracks for construction sites. They also come with those simple figures of the past:

This green truck with the big crane bucket looks amazingly good! It's simple and great at the same time. I'm wondering about its original release date since I cannot remember having seen it in my childhood.

Playmobil also offers some accessories that were part of sets in the past. Here are some machines for your tractor:

This tanker seems to have been available as an accessory for quite a long time. I can remember having given it to my brother as a birthday present many years ago.

I especially like the two construction trucks and the western coach. I somehow feel tempted to buy them, but I'd better think of the LEGO sets and bricks I still want! What about you? I know there are some former and some still active Playmobil lovers among us. Do you like the sets I have mentioned here?

Edit: After doing a bit of research on the Playmobil homepage I found out that the green truck with the crane bucket was first released in 1980.
