Are they sturdy enough to really use again the next year, or do they look all tatty?

Yes you can reuse the boxes, I've kept them with the intention of refilling them with playmobil that I will buy seperately. I'm not doing it this year though, playmobil gets expensive and my girls are still too young to really understand advent.

If you buy more than one, you can alternate each year. We went to the Playmobil factory when we were in Malta (slightly embaressing as all 3 of us were in our late twenties and playing in the play area alongside 5yr olds and purchased different calendars for us, MIL and SIL. Each year we swap so we get a diff scene.

Agrre with the comment about the Lego one. DH had that one last year and was not impressed.

yes we tried the lego too..not impressed.
We've had the playmobil one for about 5 years and it's still going strong

Our Playmobile one is still ok too. I will admit to being a bit anal about it though - I keep it all in a carrier bag and each day as we open a box i flatten the box out again and put it in the bag, then after Xmas put all the bits in the bag ready for next year. Also get a bit unsettled (to say the least) when DS insists on putting the bits in the wrong places! I like it to look the same as on the picture .

SuperBunny · 09/10/2008 03:20

Ooooooooooo, I want one. For DS. Obviously

Is it only for christmas? I mean, do they get to keep the bits to play with or do you have to put them back for next year? I can't see a 3 yr old wanting to put them away.

They're $17 - how much are they in the UK? Should I get my mum to bring one out?

Buda · 09/10/2008 03:28

Prob cheaper in US Superbunny - most things are aren't they?

You do have to keep the bits separate if you want to reuse. DS was 3 when we got ours and he was fine with putting it away for next Xmas. Ours is a Xmassy one though. He might not have been so keen if it was cars!

I just looked on ebay and you can get a police manhunt advent calendar - what in the name of effin' hell is Christmassy about that?

Does anyone else have the Playmobil Christmas Tree Decorations?

LazyLinePainterJane · 09/10/2008 19:52

ahem.....WHAT?

Can you repeat.....playmobil christmas tree decorations!!!!???!?!? Are you sure these exist? or is it a cruel taunt?

biscuitsmustbedunkedintea · 09/10/2008 21:04

Oh, but they do exist. Sorry, did consider selling mine on ebay, hence me asking, to see if I could make some money from them. Obviously yes, would be the answer. However having floated the idea past DH, DD is only 2 and therefore not attracted to Playmobil yet, he pretty much threatened me with divorce if I so much as thought about selling them.

So you can be a Playmobill fan even at the age of 30!

SuperBunny · 09/10/2008 21:07

I wnat the tree decorations

Where is best place to buy? DD wants the princessy type one.

trixymalixy · 09/10/2008 21:36

Do you think a nearly 2 year old is too young for a playmobil advent calendar.

trixymalixy · 09/10/2008 21:36
