You may never have played with Playmobil toys as a child, or perhaps you were lucky enough to have the pirate ship set or Old West set. I have found these toys to be wonderful for children, as they promote imaginative play. Our collection started with the nativity set and now contains everything from baby Jesus to pirates to princesses to soldiers. The stories that come from this set are amazing, though, and wonderfully time-consuming! :-)
Some of the toys are expensive, but they always have "specials" that are under $5. Target carries a limited amount of playmobil, and has a few figures for $1.99. Sometimes one of these finds it's way into our "prize bucket." Often they fill our Christmas stockings (even Jim's!). They have made good last minute birthday gifts.
We have received the catalog at our house, and it is already worn out. Dorothy loves to look through it and dream of birthday presents! (She wants the mansion, which ends up being way too expensive for us!) James carries the 1.2.3 catalog to bed with him. (He is partial to the cars, trucks, and motocycles, although the animals are tempting, too.) By the way, his birthday is coming up soon...

We broke down an bought some playmobil for James. Call it an early birthday present, or a mess deterrant. (He has been dumping out Dorothy's set for fun!) He is now the proud and happy owner of a motorbike with rider, a police car and policeman, a fire helicoptor and fireman, and three farm animals!
at our Toys R Us they have pirates, vikings, explorers, and some leftover advent calendar sets. Do you need Father Christmas?
A co-worker/co-re-enactor has the Civil War cannon with soldiers in his cubicle. I secretly added one with orange hair (VDO grab bag), and he didn't notice until I told him.
We have thee Santas, I think. We get one every year - he is the 24th day of the advent calendar.
Jim has given a pirate (Redbeard) to one of his coworkers. It came with a cannon that really shoots a cannonball!
