WIBU to buy Playmobil for myself?

[TooManyButtons]

Having seen @SoMuchToBits amazing Playmobil thread, I've fallen down a Playmo rabbit hole. The aquarium! The camper! The zoo!

Sadly my DD is 21 (years, not months 😂) so don't think I can get away with buying it for her. Shall I just blatantly buy it for myself?

Owlbert, think we must have about 5 Christmas advent calendars! 2 Christmas type ones, one Knights, one police, one fire...

There are guys who play wargames with armies of Playmo soldiers. Google "Garden Wargames"! Go for it!

There's also a website called PlaymoFriends, where people post about Playmo. I've lurked on there but not joined. But there is an Italian guy on there who posts about his railway. He has two workmen called Henk and Ben. They are the same as my Brian and Norman!

No. I do it all the time.

YABVVU to prefer Playmobil to Lego

You can't tour the factory in Malta anymore. You used to have to be 5 - DD who's 8 went, but they'd stopped by the time DS was old enough. There is a fun park next to the factory where they have hundreds of sets of Playmobil to play with and it's only 2euro to get in.

I've seen a Playmobil cat sanctuary I want so I can live out my dream of running a cat sanctuary vicariously through Playmobil.

I've also been buying Sylvanian Family babies, claiming they are for my daughter when she is older. They're not though, they're for me

Lego is good, but for different reasons. Playmobil is fab!

I'm having the summer of my life this year through my Playmo summer holidays thread!

Can you link to your playmobil thread I can't search on app at moment

Thanks

My boss has an office full of Lego, why not play mobile???

The OP has already linked further down the thread, but

I love that the horse poo is exactly the same as the chocolate icecream

See!

Lol. I have the operating theatre which ds was desperate to get his hands in to go into his hospital. No its mine!!!

I really want a playmo guinea pig

SqueakyPigs I have the set with four little guinea pigs. They are so adorable. You definitely should get it.

I bought the kids almost every set when they were younger. We had romans and Egyptians, zoos, circus, all manner of dollhouses and castles... they never really played with any of it :( it just took up box after box of space in their room and I realised just because I loved it wasn't enough reason to buy it for them. Same with barbies, monster high and sylvanian families. My kids suck at toys. I just hope my grandkids are into it... I want a whole bedroom set aside for cool play scenes.

Fortunately for me, ds loved it, and only stopped playing with it entirely when he was 15.
