My youngest child is in love with Playmobil, and over the past year or so he’s seemed to move away from fantasy sets and into more realistic sets, primarily in the City, Pony, and Country themes. Last week, we built both the City Action Fire Truck and the City Action Ambulance, and both provided a fantastic experience. Let’s take a look at each, and see why these are magnificent additions to your Playmobil collection.
City Action Fire Truck
Included: 2 PLAYMOBIL figures. Accessory elements include a fire hose, megaphone, radio, oxygen devices, fire axe, water cannon, broom, 3 pilons and a fire arm. 1 x AAA battery required. Dimensions: 12.2 x 4.9 x 14.3 in (LxWxH) (with ladder)

The set includes four water arrows. Equip your figures with a respirator and oxygen tank for the rescue mission. Use the large compartments on both sides of the vehicle to store the mission equipment.”

You pay a bit of a premium for this feature, but I think it definitely enhances the gameplay.
