Our collection ranges from the very girly pink girly Fairy Castle to the gruesome Dinosaur Excavation set. The kids start dreaming up their Santa lists as soon as the new catalogue appears and they countdown to the big day with a Playmobil advent calendar. The new wedding range is top of the wish list at the moment! I think it’s safe to say, my kids are Playmobil fans.

I must admit, I love Playmobil too, it looks good, lasts forever and is about the only toy in the house that I don’t mind re-building. Just as well really, I’ve spent many Christmas Day hours, building the latest Santa offering.

As a child, I loved Lego.

I remember building a Lego hospital, when I was at home recovering from an operation. It won a competition in the local newsagent and I was so proud seeing my creation in the window!

As an adult, I love the fact that Lego have a fantastic education section on their site and I think I might have to put the Mindstorm on my Christmas list.

Then there’s Legoland - I think I enjoyed it more than the kids! I loved watching the model makers at work, playing with computers and Lego all day, I’d love Guy Bagley’s job.

What’s the winner in your house – Playmobil or Lego? [polldaddy poll="1647895"]
