I consider the worst thing to deal with in a playmobil set to be the wheels of a vehicle...

I  hate the part when I need to insert the hub in the tire.. I dont have strong fingers so I have to place the tires in place with my teeth  :-[

But I always love the part where I can take out the wheels by pulling out the retainers with the wheel removel tool  :D

Its the second jeep of this kind I have purchased, first being the  3140 - Jeep With Horse Trailer (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3140) back when I was a kiddo and i like the seats on the back of the new jeep...

Its better to have the trailer attached to the jeep other wise poor trailer will feel like a seesaw  :lol:

Lovely set Panos, I really like the clicky and the rhino.
But I'd prefer a plain colored jeep instead of those giraffe-like markings.  :(

Great review, Panos! :clap:
I've been looking at that set ever since the safari series came out but don't have a big enough safari collection...

Great review, Panos! The safari sets are the best!!!! :love: :love: :love:

I use that jeep in my zoo... well, I have a couple of them, actually, :-[ and the giraffe print is great for that. I hope your reviews make others go out and support the safari theme. ;D

Thanks, Panos, for a great review and, as you say, that klicky is fantastic.

 :) Frustrating indeed, had the same experience with the amphibious truck 4844. Took me more then once to get te rim right.

Nice review, hope you don't review more sets from the Safari theme  ;)
I liked the theme already.....if i see more of it I'm heading for a toystore probably

Really? It's what I like the most about it... Though those seats look nice too - I don't have one of these.. Uhm. I do have a bunch of the old ones, which I think are very nice...

Thanks guys! I am glad you liked it!

Nice review, hope you don't review more sets from the Safari theme  ;)

well, you never know... there are a few other review underway... but not of safari sets

Though those seats look nice too - I don't have one of these.. Uhm. I do have a bunch of the old ones, which I think are very nice...

It would be interesting to see if these backseats fit an old jeep version...

A pretty nice set, but if the jeep was plain instead of coming with that giraffe pattern it would be nicer.

Great review, Panos! :)9

I've got this set, and personally think that the colouring/patterns are a bit OTT, but the back seats I do love :love:

I think I tried to fir them before in to an older jeep, but modifications to the rear tub need to be made if I can remember rightly :-\

Damo :)

Thanks Damo! What you say abotu the back seats sounds interesting... I have to dig out my old jeep to have a look... but since its quite burried in my tubs I prefer to postpone it ...

Of course, if they had legs off the back that they could place on the ground to steady the vehicle then we wouldn't have this problem...
You would just need to remember to pick up the legs BEFORE driving off with your trailer... :doh: :doh: :doh:

I like this new version, he's kinda... sweet.

But I also prefer the old one, more brutish, as a rhino is supposed to be, IMO... like a tank!

Love them both.. and the baby too... Need to get another of those add ons.
