5871 and 7834 Horse Carriage Issues
« on: December 25, 2009, 20:55:28 »
Bought  7834 One-horse carriage  on sale on Playmobil.com for my oldest daughter and also bought 5871 princess carriage for my youngest.  Both are the same just painted different and come with different accessories.  I thought they were both very nice and were both great gifts from Santa....

HOWEVER, when I put them together the folded roof pieces does not attach.  I thought it might be defective on one until I put the other together and realized the same situation.   Having purchased well over 20 items for my three kids this Christmas from the playmobil line, these were the only disappointments.  Normally everything is very soundsly made and assembled. 

I dread the thought of dealing with Playmobil directly as I am still waiting for two orders for parts placed weeks ago.  Thinking about sending these two back sounds like more trouble them just sucking it up and keeping them - with that said, both my daughters are upset that they are not the way they look in the pictures.

Anyone else have this problem with them??   Any solutions??

I have 2 of the 7834 carriages and do not recall having any difficulty with them, is it an alignment problem?

Could you show us a picture of how the roof is not attaching properly?

Hi Mini Motors  :elf:

 I have several of the 7834's and have never had any issues with how anything attaches. I do not have any of the 5871s and it looks a bit different so I can not say .Like Martin asked if you would provide pics maybe we could help solve your situation

As already recommended, A picture is worth a thousand words! Let's see the problem & maybe a recommendation can be given to correct the situation.

I've found both Playmobil and Lego construction pictures less than 100% informative on occasion.

I will say, Playmobil directions are a lot along the lines of IKEA in that they are very representative to what needs to happen to assemble.  Better than 90% of what is out there and everything fits.  I just happened across the same item that was confusing - go figure!!  LOL!!
