Hey everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. Im a mom of an (almost) 4 year old. Our playmobil journey began last year when I was in a small toy store looking for Christmas/Birthday ideas for my LO. I was in the Lego isle looking at the Duplo Zoo when the guy suggested I look into Playmobil 1,2,3 but I didnt like the look of it. Later, closer to Christmas, I was roaming Toys R Us and saw they had a buy one get one half off sale on all Playmobil stuff. I looked through it and found the Camper Van and thought it was so cute! So I purchased that, along with the little summer house, and got the little pool for free. He absolutely loved it. Plays with the Van almost every single day. Then, a friend got us the Ambulance, and the added lights and sounds of the Ambulance was all the rage.
Later, when tax season came around, I wanted to get him something else, something real nice. At the time he wanted the Zoo, but looking back I kind of wish I hadnt gotten it. He doenst like or play with the Zoo as much as he does the Van and Ambulance and house. It falls apart easy and its just not interesting enough for him.
My playmobil addiction has started with the little Surprise packages. Im addicted. I never really noticed them in 5 Below, passed them up constantly. But now, Im hooked. A little too late, but I found a bunch of Series 2 and bought them out, first the boys as there were only like 6 packs of them, and then 2 weeks later bought 20 bucks of the girls. Then on a trip to Toys R Us, I found Series 4, again, only a few of both girls and boys, but I bought them out. Later when I had an eye appointment, we sat and put them all together which my LO Loved. Now he has quite the collection of random little people, which end up all over the house, in the bathtub, scattered around his room. He loves to take them apart and put them back together (he does it better then me, and surprisingly hasnt broken any yet) :/
Anyway, Im hoping our Playmobil journey has just began. I cant wait for the next 6 or 7 years to pass by and am soo glad I gave Playmobil a chance last year and starting him off young! I love playing with him just as much as he does lol.
