But still the Playmobil stand-alone rack at my local TRU is fun to look
through, more fun than the Lego aisle sometimes it has to be said! Diversity
and imagination probably go a lot further towards attracting and maintaining
interest!

Just to get those warning bells jangling, several TRUs round me don't
have a full LEGO aisle any more. Part of the space is now taken up by an
expanded Playmobil display. And the LEGO end cap is now a Megablok end
cap.

The only reason why I don't buy Playmobil is because the sets and figures,
although pretty, are not really customisable.

The Playmobil castles look lots of fun. I can see the extra size being a
big selling point - more plastic for your pound, with the same *play*
value. Everyone knows that castles are *big*, and sometimes the LEGO
ones appear somewhat weedy.

Phew! back on topic :-)
