Very good review  :)
I just bought one of these for my 9-year-old nephew and he was extatic! Found it online for € 29,95 (Dreamland webshop), now I come to think of it, I should have bought one for myself too.

Edit: This is him sporting a 'cool' attitude to match the Porsche  ;D

I wasn't going to buy them... I don't need them... But then my nephew said "I need a fast cool car" while he was playing with a Playmobil police car... Needless to say, I'll be buying Porsches
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

That's a great review, with great photographs too.

And Birdie, your nephew looks like a wonderful advert for the car also.  The photo looks like he a clip from a rock star video, as his 'Got myself a [Playmobil] Porsche' song is playing.

I enjoyed that review too, thanks for posting the link Tahra!

Does the joke about the Haynes manual work for everyone? That (and the 'Weird Al' figurine ad. next to the review) were real bonuses for me.  :lol:

I have seen some photos of this but, it's interesting to see a full review of it clearly the guy reviewing it is a fan. It's certainly got a nice sleek shape and good customisation possibilities the lights are really cool.

I think kids would like it particularly for the customisation at least if they're anything like me taking part my Playmobil F1 car for pretend pit stops the car dealership part I can't really see it but, hey suppose it's useful if you're doing it as part of a bigger set up  :)

Great review! I didn't know the dash lit up, that's very cool.

The comments section is hilariously serious with Porsche afficionados.

I'm pretty sure it was playing in his head  ;D

Amazing how some people obsess over small details  ;D [irony]

I know!  It's like any discussion we can have here, just a different focus!  :lol:
