Playmobil still the BEST! Now when playing lego with my
Nephews there are so many specific pieces it is almost
impossible to build anything without a manual (sigh…)
Playmobil has simplicity & is always ready play! 🤠🤡😎

I too like Playmo for its simplicity. Even some of the big sets have only limited building (and short story version instruction booklets 🙂 ). Along with two other adults, I helped my son build the Lego Ewok village one Christmas morning, and by late evening it was finally complete – what a fiddly neverending nightmare with such tiny pieces that kept popping off everywhere. Son disappeared and left us to it after half hour lol. Even though the set looked cool when complete, it wasn’t fun to build. Contrast that to the Playmo medieval castle, dragons and knights set he had another Christmas which only took 30 mins to set up ready for play!

Yes, these overly complicated toys (& games) that do not keep the childs
attention & adults are left “playing”
by ourselves. Always keep it simple!
