Farm set - Britains or Playmobil?

3 replies

OhIDoLikeToBeBeside · 12/08/2013 00:05

I am looking for a farm set for DS 4th birthday. I am torn between the Playmobil farm with Silo, plus tractor and a selection of bits from Britains (or similar).

Have any of you experienced both? Which would you choose?
TIA

I don't like play mobile tbh.

Britain's stuff is nice, we have a few bits.

My kids have schleich animals and then a wooden farm buildings set.

They do buildings and people and vehicles etc as well. We have loads of animals, some vehicles and buildings and also some of the fairies they do and dinosaurs.

DS doesn't have a farm set (he's 5), but he has a lot of playmobil zoo stuff which he loves. In fact, he has a fair bit of playmobil stuff which is popular with him and any visiting children.

The Britains stuff is lovely though, as are Schleich animals etc. DS has some Schleich animals, but they mostly live in the playmobil zoo despite being a completely different size.
