Post by: Rhalius on December 02, 2013, 23:06:48: a lonely cabin in the woods.. including an axe, chopping block and bag..

Somehow I get the feeling that some kids might be getting some rather creative ideas with this set. ;)

its a very cute little set and it fit just right on the kids piano

some one got into the spiked egg nog and decided to be a youtube star

There were quite a lot of toys, to many to fit in the house so we dumped them on the porch along with a few other ones lying about. Little visitors came to grab some of Mrs. Santa's cookies while the big man is either on his chopper or drinking more egg nog.

Now I was able to pick up one more set seeing as it was on sale for $25. I really am not at all thrilled that Geobra is continuing and increasing the use of the clip or modular system (thara's system why). I would have been very willing to buy many more to create a much larger lodge if it was at least system X. I know having it made out of stecks is the longest shot but at this point even system x would make me happier. I will see what is possible for the kids to customize the building with out cutting. Oh if only playmobil was still a "system" and they continued incorporating the educational aspect of building in their quality product.

It's a cute set, despite the darker possibilities.

It looks really cute (the shed is adorable), but.. it's HALF a house (at best), and the system Y thing kinda defeats the purpose, IMO.

Btw, "system y" ss not originally mine, though I can't remember who called it that - it IS fitting :( .

Post by: Birdie on December 03, 2013, 09:07:03: Nice review!

The cabin is a bit too green-and-red to use for something other than a Santa's house, so I'm not tempted.

It is indeed a real shame that there are no possibilities for extension.
The only thing I managed to do with the older version of this cabin, is to extend the floor (eliminating the front terrace) and to add some sidewalls.

Post by: Ronastoo on December 15, 2013, 10:45:29: I hadn't purchased any Playmo for a long time. (Well, except for the mystery figures that Tiermann so kindly gets and sorts into sets for us.) I was shopping on Thanksgiving night and found this set for $25 and couldn't resist. I love Christmas sets. This one is great.

And look! It's Santa Dragon up on the shed roof!
(Oh, and we added some lights and a spare Playmo Christmas tree. Did I mention that I love Christmas sets?)

Post by: bonniebeth on January 07, 2014, 16:30:07: Thanks for the review... I like the design of this house but don't want to use it as a Christmas house. Are the Christmas decorations on the roof lines stickers?
