If you have children under ten then you’ve probably got some Playmobil in your house. It was my very favourite range of toys for a long time so I’m pretty used to their weird German ideas. This one really takes the biscuit though. One of the most extravagant items they sell is the Fairy Tale Palace. It costs about eighty pounds and it’s enormous; three stories high with loads of columns and staircases, chandeliers, mirrors and rose-tinted windows. Now they’ve made a toy toy castle so that the little Playmobil children who live in the castle can play with a model of their own castle, complete with tiny figures of themselves. You can see where this is going can’t you? I’ll stop now before we all disappear.
surely that’s a travel set? we have a castle one and another… magnetic smaller than normal figures…
