(More customer reviews)I searched for weeks trying to snag one of these for my 6 year old last Christmas. I was thrilled to have found one, and even more thrilled to find a playmobile set that I did not have to re-mortgage the house to purchase. My delight did not and does not even compare to that of my 6,now 7 year old son. He absolutely loves this set. I even catch my 10 year old son playing with it.
The two sides of the chest fold down, all the pieces store inside. There are alot of small parts including tiny coins...er...treasure that according to my boys are the most important pieces. I keep a ziploc bag in the chest for the boys to put the pieces in when they are finished playing. Every once in a while I count the pieces to make sure they are all there...yes, I am "one of those people".
This is easy for the boys to set up. It is something they can do themselves and feel good about...I am a big fan of SELF-INFLICTED positive reinforcement!
In keeping with the Playmobile tradition, the hair pieces, and "guy" accessories all come off the "guys" and are all interchangable. If you have other playmobile "guys" they WILL find their way into this set! The small pieces are great for little hands. Even the play area inside the trunk, which I felt would be too small and confining, is great for little hands. I have to keep reminding myself that I am actually purchasing the toys for little children!
Because this is a complete set in and of itself, it is perfect to keep "out". This makes it easily accessible for regular play. Because "pick-up" is so easy, it is the perfect toy to encourage the "keep your toys picked-up" rule without feeling that pang of guilt.
The toy simply is not too overwhelming for children to play or pick-up. That, I feel is the constant appeal.
Do keep the pieces in a zip-top bag though because the tiny coins can be easily lost...especially while opening the toy, sometimes the motion causes the loose pieces to fly out. Hence, my 4 star durability rating.
All-in-all, a fabulous toy that stimulates imaginative play AND nurtures the feeling of self-satisfaction because your child can "maintain" the toy on his or her own.
Fantastic Price for Playmobile! Great starter set that will introduce both you and your child into the wonderful world of PLAYMOBILE!
