Hi there

Its my sons 4th birthday is in a week and I really wanted to get him a castle, he loves dressing up and acting out knights so thought this was the next logical step...decided on the Melissa and Doug one but it is sold out everywhere (

So, the nest best alternatives seem to be a playmobil one(we own nothing playmobil so unsure how this will be received...he does however like lego)or the Le Toy Van castle(again!we don't own any le toy van so unsure on this respect also)

Please help, unsure which one to get

Thanks

whoops!i meant

We've got the Tower of Doom from ELC and it's brilliant. DS likes it too

We got knights-mad DS the playmobil castle for his 3rd birthday, he's 5 now and still loves it, he plays with it almost every day. He'd had a couple of playmobil figures before but nothing big, we now have masses of the stuff

thanks guys will look more at both, its just a lot of money(especially after the excess of xmas) and wanted to get something that will last and that more importantly he will love....
