ITT: Raeg blabs about building toys.

So, with my full impression of Playmobil now complete thanks to actually having stuff now, I thought this would be appropriate. Lego is there because it's Lego. It doesn't need a reason to be here. Capice?

 

Anyway, we will obviously start with Playmobil, and while I have not gotten new Lego recently, I figured a Lego thing would make a brief appearance

 

ONWARDS!

So, these two pirates and the big Police truck are what I have gotten today. Let's take a brief look at the pirates.

Pretty good imo. I should mention Playmobil figures can't be put in walking sort of pose, but that doesn't really bother me. Also, the pirates came with this:

Now, onto the big, bad police truck. Oh boy, is this thing big. Here's a comparison with a Lego police car:

The actual truck seems to be based off of a Lenco Bearcat, which is a common vehicle used by SWAT and SWAT-like teams in the United States.

Here are the figures and that briefcase:

So, basically SWAT guys. The things in the briefcase are some camera thing and a walkie talkie. It's interesting that Playmobil is not afraid to have SWAT or tactical like officer figures and sets, where Lego would not touch that in a million years.

 

So, what do I think of Playmobil now? I love it. Love the truck, and the figures are pretty decent too. Here's that Lego police car+the guy driving it, btw:

I'll always be a kid at heart, I guess :D.

that's what I was looking for

 

Lego seems to have a better customizability imo. It was a huge part of my childhood, so I'll always stick by it. 

 

yet i hate genwunners

 

Yes, Lego is better for customizing. They're both great brands, regardless. Neither has a modern military theme, which is probably for the better, but, Playmobil has Union and Confederate soldier figures, which is rather interesting to see.

I am bored, so I shall show this Lego Ambulance Plane.

It's pretty big.

As you can see, that front wheel can rotate around. These are actually a real thing, but they're more or less referred to as air ambulances in real life, I think.

 

Also, the patient in the ambulance might be Lego Rewas, who suffered from a meme overdose from Enguin while riding his dirt bike. Get well soon, Lego Rewas!

So, I am bumping this with my custom Lego police truck which will be used with my future Lego SWAT Team. It is subject to modification, and, for the actual SWAT minifigures, I will be using third party maker Lego minifigure compatible weapons and gear.

You also noticed the title change, I bet. This is not exclusive to Lego, as some Mega Bloks and maybe more will also be featured, as I do want to modify MB vehicles to use with Lego minifigures.
