Playmobil Cargo Ship with Loading Crane.

Am I the only grown up who kept their favourite toys? Most of my friends kept nothing, but I have my Playmobil playground! It is now enjoyed by my 3 children and is as good as new – honestly, apart from the pieces I have lost over the years, nothing was ever broken and everything works.

Playmobil has one of the best reputations of any toy company I know. Their toys are colourful, entertaining, educational and durable. Hours and hours can be spent with just one Playmobil set – I have proved that.

My sister has the Playmobil Noah’s ark and every time we visit, it is in the middle of the ‘playroom’ floor, played with my children from the age of 4 yrs right up to 10 yrs and thoroughly enjoyed.

Playmobil never dates – never. New toys are released frequently and they are up to date and modern each time. One of these new sets is presently my son’s ‘greatest bestest toy ever’!!

The cargo ship is simply fantastic, like nothing I have ever seen throughout different toy ranges. It floats on water – which is great although we have never done that. It even has a working anchor. We may eventually ‘launch on water’, as dad is infatuated that you can upgrade this boat to one with an underwater motor. So, this ship will float at a later date to dad’s delight! For now, it is the centre of attention on our playroom floor. Two containers come with the set and can be hoisted on and off the ship with the loading crane. This is brilliant, and containers are constantly being loaded on and off in our house! The cabin’s roof comes off too, so there is really a lot of opportunities for imagination and role play.

3 Playmobil figures come with the set, and various accessories so lots of fun to be had right from the start.

Other co-ordinating sets can be added to this one – the loading terminal and the cargo truck with container. Check out the site www.playmobil.co.uk

The Cargo ship RRP £49.99 and my advice is to buy this now as every little boy will have it on their Christmas list.
