I am a Playmobil virgin

But am considering getting some for the children for Christmas.

dd the carry along house (The bigger houses are lovely but waay expensive)

ds has asked for the pyramid but as we have got him a wii I think that would be excessive given cost.Am looking at some less costly dinosaur stuff.

Can anyone reccomend what Playmobil their children have enjoyed the most?TIA.

Thanks WTTMrwolf, that's a good deal on the hospital, I'm very tempted!

John Lewis have just lowered the price on the hospital, ambulance, helicopter, circus & accesories www.johnlewis.com/Search/Search.aspx?SearchTerm=playmobil#&&/wEXAQUHYWpheFVybAVKU1JUL1NlYXJjaC9TZWFy Y2guYXNweD9TZWFyY2hUZXJtPXBsYXltb2JpbCZPTS1QYWdlTnVtYmVyPTAmT00tU29ydE9yZGVyPTBQ+aV7W13TmyNx+V5Cliuq F/NAeg==

that's interesting Frassled thank you, I think DS would love it and it's not too much money either. Have been thinking of getting the hospital for the DDs to share, wonder if they would like it?

I have just bought the recycle truck today as saw it on offer for £17.50 and was £22 before - I have to admit I have been slightly obsessively googling it today!

Playmobil is amazing! My mil has kept all DH's playmobil from when he was a child (he is 32 now!) and DS plays with it all the time when we go round hers...she is a little protective of it and we haven't been allowed to bring any of it home yet!!

He has got loads at home already though:-
Plane
Dustbin Lorry
Police Car
Ambulance
Small helicopter
DHL Van which is his favourite! It cost £5 from e-bay!

Was thinking of the farm for christmas but not sure whether to get the mega farm set or the smaller one?? Any suggestions?

DS will be 5 in february but still very much into cars,tractors,buses etc rather than transformers/power rangers etc so would get quite a lot of use.

Ds has the dinosaur playmobile stuff and still plays with it. I think a lot of the playmobile stuff is over priced so I would make sure that you choose something that you know they are likely to play with.

This year for christmas we have got our daughter the playmobil hospital and ambulance. We are also going to get her the medical helicopter and few other accessories.

My friend has playmobil for her children, started when her eldest was 3 and they are still using it 10 years later!

Apparantly very long lasting so that is great

Just check ELC and out of stock - I feel I have entered a new world!!

Ha ha - thank you! I think I am going to as he is seeming to want older stuff but not gone down the transformers/power rangers end. I can use my 20% of at ELC for the truck and then the set at Tesco I am thinking for grandparents to split smile
