Lego - I love Lego

Depends on age and child. Mine adore both but youngest is very good with lego in the way the others weren't but still prefers Playmobil! I'd say Playmobil and introduce lego a bit later. Whichever you choose, you can't go wrong!

I have both and lots of it. They play with the lego more although not so much with either in the summer.

Both. You need both but different sized ones at different times.

Think I'm erring towards Lego as I loved it as a kid but some of the Playmobil stuff looks great...expensive though!

Having got a house full of both, i'd say...well..it's hard to choose. Depends on your DS. All our lego gets pulled to bits and jumbled up and re-built as anything they fancy. A friend's little boy has various lego vehicles that are immaculate and played with as models, IYKWIM. Our playmobil is also muddled up, but at least you have an actual coal ship, bin wagon or whatever to play with, even if they are populated with pirates and romans.

I'm not making any sense am I
