can you try the link again please!

vickiyumyum · 18/11/2005 22:12

but the good thing about playmobil as opposed to lego is that when you put it together the majority of it withstands a three year olds play, but lego we constantly have tears because the wings have fallen off the space ship etc etc.

Half our loft is taken up with playmobil that I can't bear to part with. We had the house, farm, fire engine, ambulance, helicopter, dustbin lorry (FAV TOY) cars, + boxes of people & accessories. Most of this got via Freeads, school fayres etc. Would thoroughly recomend it.

It looks great and in the sale too!

vickiyumyum · 18/11/2005 22:15

just don't buy it all ds2 will be really upset if he doesn't get it for his birthday!

collision · 18/11/2005 22:17

There dont seem to be many dinosaurs though. There is one and then a baby one with the other set.

vickiyumyum · 18/11/2005 22:19

its just the dinosaur and any dinosaur ds2 would be happy with. they also do a red dragon in elc and the entertainer that he has seen and is obsessed with.

vickiyumyum · 18/11/2005 22:20

oh and he likes the popping out of the egg bit!

Is that the farm with the barn? My two girls use the animals but not the barn. Not sure why.

vickiyumyum · 18/11/2005 22:29

ther ar plenty of sets that are more 'girly' if that is waht you are after. i would say that playmobil is def more unisex than lego.

my frinds ddhas the house, farm and hospital, and it is her favourite toy she is 5 and has had it for about 18 months and still plays with it.
