Legos vs Playmobil

[LadyWentworth]

I don't really know how to vote because we had both in the house. I loved lego (especially the huge pieces) to build things, but Playmobil was pretty good. The two sets that I remember vividly are the Cowboy and Indian set and the Knights. I LOVED their wine goblets. I always liked that the "wine" inside the goblets were different colors based on what they were drinking. Do they even have those in the sets anymore?

I LOVED THESE!!!! In fact, I had all 3 of those in the picture. I had the house, barn and zoo, too. The zoo was great.

Did these have a particular name? Other than being FP?

They were Little People. Well, these are the Little People before how they look now.

Thank you...that rings a bell now...

Thanks for the memories, Nightshade and LadyWentworth!!

Seriously, you had me literally clapping at the site of this!!! I had the treehouse!!! I thought about that after I posted but then I just decided to leave it out rather than edit it.

Wasn't there a way that they could "climb" the tree? Like an elevator? That is something that is a blur to me. I don't know if I am getting that confused with something else that we had here (which might be the FP Sesame Street playset).

Yes...I had that too...
Look at the little door with the circle in it. The door is the same shape as the opening in the upper part. I played with this toy for hours and hours.

But the little blue fireman did not go to this set. The little girl did.

Legos are the bomb! I love them! We had two different train sets, plus all sorts of others -- a stable, a rocky camping place, a police station, a pizza parlor, a house with a pool, a surf shack . . .

I had none of those... or maybe all of them: My Lego era was ahead of all those sets. We had only the basic blocks back then, and we built just about everything we could think of. I consider the basic Lego block to be the ultimate toy.
