They have Playmobil pony farm, Playmobil Police, and Playmobil Dragon Knight advent calendars all on play.com too...... Is it wrong that at 25 I still kinda want the Playmobi pony farm one lol!!

Nope - I'm 40 and I've bought myself the Santa feeding the animals in the forest one!

They do tend to sell out. The odd store has some left and price drops them. Argos did 2 years ago, and John Lewis did last year, but I wouldnt rely on it

I strongly suspect being both Lego & Star Wars they will sell out, the price go up and they will become collectable

If you didnt have it last year then last years one might suit him better. My then 5 year old loved it. Its lego code 2824 and they haev it on Amazon and ebay

A word of warning:
The City calender has a heavy cops n robbers theme this year, with some of the builds being over multiple days rather than one per day. Not good if your child does not have the attention span.

Additionally, 7 of the days are taken up by the Police station/hut and Police car alone!

thanks for this... was gonna order now i've been paid but it doesn't seem so great now.

insread going to use the re-useable advent calender i have - buy some minifigs/ mini builds/ mini accesseries etc and make my own for DS1.
