5612 Playground
« on: February 22, 2014, 01:03:03 »
Last week I found this set in a Sainsbury's store here in Scotland.  It was priced at £14.99 which seemed an OK price for what is in it.  I can't find it on the UK Playmobil site so presume it is an exclusive elsewhere.

It's a long time since I did a review so thought I would do one for this. 
Apologies if the photos aren't up to my usual quality - I still have dryers in my workroom after it being flooded at the beginning of January so I haven't put back many of the things I usually use in here, such as my lightbox and daylight lamps,   

First the front of the box ...


 
the back ...



and the contents ...



Once I had decided to follow the instructions   :-[ and did things in the right order it was relatively easy to put together ...





The roundabout had the circles already printed on it, so no stickers to apply ...



Also included is a bench and a tree, together with a bird and two squirrels ...



Plus a selection of accessories ...



The klickies include two girls and two boys plus a female - mum to one of them or a childminder? ...



It is nice to see the kite included in this set ...



There are a variety of things to occupy the klicky kids ...

Ladders to climb ...





Places  to look out of ...





A swing ...



A slide ...



The roundabout of course ...



And somewhere for an adult to relax while the kids play ...

'

I'm really pleased with it and altogether I think it's a nice modern set, I prefer it to some of the previous playgrounds - what do you think of it?

I think it looks fantastic and like a very modern playground. Can't wait to get it. Thanks for the review, Elaine. I didn't even realize this was already out over there!

This set is super!!!!It's similar to 5568 but including different figures and no fences,although it's better than 5568 because it has the half price!!!!!!!!5568 will cost about £25 (30+ euros)!!!!!

Great review, thanks! I am so getting this set as soon as it's available here  :love:

The eyes on the black kid are like black adult's eyes with (white around them). Is that something that's happening to all kid clickies with black skin tone?
I don't know if I like it.

Nice set really like the modern colourful desing of the climbing frame and as you say plenty to keep the kids occupied not sure on the kids whether i like the or not although I do think the kid with brown hair is cute thanks for the review will look out for it  :)

thanks for the nice review of a cute little playground set. I  want this set for our expanding park that will be incorporated into our circus and the new fair theme.

Cute little set.
Your pictures really sell it. :)

I'm going out of left field here, but I think I might get one to reproduce some of the wacky movie ninja fight scenes of the 80's...
