I have 2 dc aged 6 and 3 and we have never gone down the whole Playmobile route. My dc both love lego and spend hours building and taking apart their creations only to rebulid something else. I have looked at the Playmobile boxes and they look really lovely though bloody expensive sometimes! I don't get it, is everything ready built in the box and therefore once you have opened the box it is up to dc to play with the items using their imagination (my dc would get fed up after couple weeks) or is it all in pieces and you have to build all the buildings and playmobile people before you can play (therefore am thinking would be really good value for money and could try some as Christmas gifts!). Would just love someone to tell me exactly what it is before I go out and waste money!
AIBU?
to not really understand the purpose of Playmobile?

It is Playmobil. No "e". I should know, being a Playmo person..... 
aldi, yes no "e" 
but as I defensively say to my DH, you know what we mean
Thanks, Shakey!
Ahhhhhh!!!!! That's better! 
Seriously though, we have loads of the stuff, and even at age 10, my owner plays with it every day. In fact, that's what he's doing right now! He makes up endless scenes with it, and sometimes rebuilds the buildings into different configurations.
No problem! I'm NormanTheForeman really, just namechanging for Hallowe'en though.

omg am posting in aibu 
op playmo is wonderful stuff. dds (6 & 7) are playing with it RIGHT NOW. Those ponies are like 4 years old probably. Look like they just came out of the box. yy kids need a good imagination to use it properly though.
hey Norman, while in Holland I saw a Playmo St Nick with mitre in a Jamacan fishing boat. I boggled. was the Dutch Christmas special kit.
stealth, you can buy a Playmo St Nick with mitre this year (with an angel)! We are going to get one - he would make a cool Archbishop of Ruggington!
