Post by: Birdie on February 08, 2016, 16:12:50: Very good review :)
I just bought one of these for my 9-year-old nephew and he was extatic! Found it online for € 29,95 (Dreamland webshop), now I come to think of it, I should have bought one for myself too.

Edit: This is him sporting a 'cool' attitude to match the Porsche ;D

Post by: leefert on February 08, 2016, 16:35:23: I wasn't going to buy them... I don't need them... But then my nephew said "I need a fast cool car" while he was playing with a Playmobil police car... Needless to say, I'll be buying Porsches

And Birdie, your nephew looks like a wonderful advert for the car also. The photo looks like he a clip from a rock star video, as his 'Got myself a [Playmobil] Porsche' song is playing.

Does the joke about the Haynes manual work for everyone? That (and the 'Weird Al' figurine ad. next to the review) were real bonuses for me. :lol:

Post by: DrDalek6 on February 08, 2016, 22:05:05: I have seen some photos of this but, it's interesting to see a full review of it clearly the guy reviewing it is a fan. It's certainly got a nice sleek shape and good customisation possibilities the lights are really cool.

I think kids would like it particularly for the customisation at least if they're anything like me taking part my Playmobil F1 car for pretend pit stops the car dealership part I can't really see it but, hey suppose it's useful if you're doing it as part of a bigger set up :)

The comments section is hilariously serious with Porsche afficionados.

I'm pretty sure it was playing in his head ;D
