I take it you have no children and no sense of fun!!!
We have got playmobile from when i was little (20 years ago) and my brother plays with it.
It gives children so much more that 2 hours of fun, and to be honest it is not "planet polluting plastic" as it gets passed down to family, which im sure cheap rubbish toys do not. Unfortunatly, playmobil is not cheap but it is worth it.
Playmobile promotes childrens knowledge and understanding of the world, creativity, physical development due the the use of hand eye co-ordination and use of fine motor skills and also develops personal and social development.
Its awful what has happened to the OP, i hope you manage to sort something for your sons birthday. Have you looked on ebay? Some people sell reasonale priced sets on there.0 -
I have had the same problems with boots in the past, so now go into the shop to buy otherwise I don't know what will arrive0

Boots only delivered one third of my order as well. It was the first time I'd use them online and I won't be doing it again.Piglet

Great stuff Playmobile as my chldrens stepbrother plays with there old sets, he's 7 and they are 23 and 21. Lasts for years.0

By that rationale there should never be any need to buy new. There are no more children now than 20 years ago. So why not get second hand stuff?I was born too late, into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair0 -
Blimey, I was always told, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all? I wish others had been told the same!!!
Good Luck getting your Son the Playmobile toys you want for him!makinprogress0 -
So sorry about Boots messing it up again. Their website is rubbish. Also sorry that people can be so judgemental on here. My son is 26 next week and we still have some of his Playmobil hanging around. I remember how much he loved it.
On another note I got out my children's sleds out today and my estranged oh, 24 year old daughter and I had a great time sliding down the hill in the snow. Unfortunately my son lives in London so could not make it.
Best wishes and happy birthday to him.0 -
