DS1 just started getting in to playmobil at Christmas, he is now 3.6.

I want to get them all something at the end of half term for being good

He has a few bits, some 2nd hand. An ambulance, a teepee, bin lorry and a few other bits.

Are the take along sets any good? Like this?

Cheers

I would look on ebay. We've got lots of great playmobil from there for a fraction of the cost for dd.

I'm looking, just wanted an idea of whats good- there is so bloody much of it!

DS has the Noahs Ark (very good), various Pirate related sets (also very good), horse riding set (OK) fire station (ok), police car (good), road sweeper (very good).

His friend has some of the dinosaurs and these are also very good.

Campervan went down very well here as we have a number of friends with real vans. Got an old style one so it was a much more sensible ebay price

Best thing about ebay Playmobil is that most of the teeny weeny irritating bits have already been lost so no guilt about hoovering them up

Noah's ark is a good idea, he has the fisherprice one, plus his name is Noah so he loves that. We don't have anything pirates so thats a good idea. He has the road sweeper and loves it. Van sounds good, but a bit similar to his 1970s ambulance.

Will keep looking, ta.

You can get some knights for £3.50 in the local toy shop near me. Got DS 3 packs so he has a little army of each! here He builds the castles out of lego, but has some other sets too. This is fab and a great price

You get a little book with the story of Noah's Ark which DS loves me to read while he's playing with it.

Yeah I had also considered that one wellmeant, it looks good. I have seen some cowboys/indian things locally on Ebay, was thinking of them to go with the teepee he already has.

Dastardly, he likes me reading him the Noahs ark story, so that is a good idea.

Choices, choices....
