Where is Ultimate Playmobil thread?

[Divatheshopaholic]

Where is the annual thread? Did you all buy your playmobil sets?
Used to see thread every year here. My ds is now 3 and i really wnat to buy him Playmobil. What is hit, what is miss? Advice needed.

That Santa's grotto has not be sold for a long time so I suppose it could be called a collecter's piece, especially if it is complete.

This is why I put some of the very small playmobil pieces away - so they can be put back with the larger pieces and sold on. Or I might just keep everything for me the future grandchildren

Whoa £104 inc postage! That's crazy!

I had success with my ice hockey playmobil purchasing yesterday - I put Gixen snipe bids in because I was out and won two sets of hockey stuff/tress/snowmen etc so I have enough goals nets to build a rink and put the stuff on for DS. I'm looking forward to making little sin-bins and team benches etc. Some of our policemen might have to be the referees and the toy zamboni we already have will not be to scale but may do the job!

This thread has brought back memories! I loved play mobil as a child.

My Dad built me a hospital, complete with wards, operating theatre, x-ray, ambulance bay, heli-pad, its was great. About 3 feet wide by 2 feet long and just high enough to be in proportion for the little people. The roof came off to reveal the treasures inside! It lived under my bed for years and years.

My Dad is wheelchair bound now and always looking for something to do. Think I shall get it down from the loft and ask him to restore it for DD.

Your dad sounds lovely suggarmuffet

I have been Reading this thread instead of getting dressed. This is bad.

More playmobil is needed in this house . I may need a Natovity Scene as DH and I share an advent calendar.

I got dressed and took children to school .

I need the nativity set. And DD will be happy as it has kittens .

DS is more of a Lego fan I feel but is always happy to do some nice Playmobil playing.

Do I need Kings as well?

Or then there is this which seems to combine the two sets.

Well done hockeypuck ! Bet you your dcs will have fun playing with the hockey sets!

Noah you definitely need kings with it

So without kings will my life be incomplete?

Should I make a bid on the ebay combined one that ends in a few hours (linked to above). I can't work out what it might be missing.

And what shall I get for DD in a playmobil line for Christmas? Looked at the unicorn castle linked to somewhere here but reviews don't look favourable.

Think she might like the camper van which is on offer in a local toy shop. May go into York and have a look.

I want another Advent Calendar really as well.An old pre-loved one with a nice Christmassy scene.

Like this or this

Whoever brought up the nativity topic, is this the one you have?

Noah - yes I have that one, but next year the stable will not be cardboard, it will be a proper stable and I think you should wait for that.

I have just bought this and this

Oooh belgo I am that you can already buy these sets!

And Noah, the camper van would be a good choice.

The Christmas tree lights up for real. And the minute nativity set - a nativity set for the playmobil family - is just adorable

I really need to get back to real life and get some housework done!

oh yes the campervan is very good. So is the ambulance. Some of the bigger sets eg. the girly castle are very big and expensive but not that interesting.

Belgo I'm even more now!

Hello, just thought I would let you lovely people know that Tesco currently have the Pirate ship half price for £25 and the Playmobil 123 Zoo half price at £20.

I just purchased them for my neice and DD.

I am very of Belgo.

Decided not to bid on the nativity set but as I did some successful selling on eBay tonight I now have some paypal balance to spend :)

Thanks BitterAndTwisted. Sadly ds isn't into pirates, but it's always good to know of any offers going!

I have just told ds about Belgo's playmo tree with lights that light up and he is

He has plans on buying one next year for Norman's office No 10 Upping Street. And maybe another for Bossy Ross's lifeboat station.....

You lot are making me want to run out and buy even more playmobil for the kids

They like it but i'm not sure they'd be impressed with only playmobil appearing on xmas day and mommy hogging it and positioning everything correctly setting it up all day!

Just in case it's of use to anyone - Costco have the advent calendars for £9 something plus Vat. I bought one today with Father Christmas feeding animals. They also had a dragon themed one.

runoutofideas as a costco card holder who has already bought advent calendars (one of which was the dragon one) from Amazon for more than that - I don't think I did want to know that....

SoMuch - picture finally on my profile, or should be - I could only find 3 out of 4, but they illustrate the differences quite well (and that's Mrs Christmas (proud Aga owner) on the end, plus random snowman and elf who just wanted their picture taken!

Sorry!
