Title: how important is the 'wall fillers'?
Post by: chemfish on February 23, 2012, 10:59:30: Just wondering if these wall fillers are pretty important or can I do without them? Are they really just to fill the gaps or do they serve another purpose?

(of course, with system X you do have holes all over, and it's supposed to be normal... Still looking forward to Sir Pleamo's solution for those.)

Me too! I hate all the System X holes and that's one of the main problems with the building system, in my opinion.

The Steck fillers aren't really functional but I think it looks incomplete without them.

Post by: Tiermann on February 23, 2012, 19:02:31: I use them - the place where they are most useful to me is when I have a wall with one segment having the holes at the top filled by floor pieces and then you have open holes right next to it on the same wall. That just really bugs me unless it's supposed to be a ruin or something.

Post by: playmo1989 on February 24, 2012, 03:34:39: yes... they are important !!!!! the sockets from steck walls that the fillers fit to, are for putting floor parts there ,but if there are not any floors needed there you have to use these !!!!

Post by: chemfish on February 24, 2012, 06:58:58: Okay, got it! I think I can live with the 'holes' for now. Sometimes my 1 year old lifts up the tower part and I'm scared he might pluck off the wall filler and put it in his mouth. But for now, all the playmo buildings are up on a table where he can't reach! :)

I am not a collector but a mother of a child that played a lot with playmobils, in that perspective I will answer you. When I build to my son the first house with that parts I put it . It was a problem (not my older son put in mouth, he never had that kind of behavior, was due to that he begin so young playing with playmobils, at that time the boxes say "Age 4 and up") as when he play, after, I have to collect all that little parts and I saw was not important to him. When he had the second house, a medieval house, with that parts I even don't break and for several years the house was build in his room and he play a lot and the parts never had any function to play. I can't gave you a perspective of collector...

Thanks Paula! My older daughter likes to play with the small parts but my son has a tendency to put things in his mouth so that's why the houses and castles are up on a table so she can play while my son can't reach them. I just didn't put the wall fillers in anymore in case my daughter 'breaks' the castle and the fillers fall off.
