Playmobil Dinosaur Expedition #3170 Playset

This Playmobil Dinosaur Expedition Playset is sure to be an instant hit with all the little dinosaur fans out there. Featuring a great looking dinosaur with movable arms, legs and jaw, and 2 brave explorers, this set provides a lot of potential imaginative fun for the younger Playmobil fans.

Playmobil's Dinosaur Expedition consists of a glacier of frozen ice in which a dinosaur is trapped. Enter the 2 well equipped explorers armed with their pickaxes, rope ladders, and a host of other useful and imaginative tools. Their mission is to free the dinosaur trapped within the ice.

The beauty of Playmobil Sets is the detail that is incorporated within the playset. This set contains accessories like snow gear for the figures including snow shoes, padding, hats, skis, pickaxes, chain saws for cutting the ice, a real rope ladder to climb the glacier, a torchlight and more. One bad thing about these accessories is that they are so tiny, and unsafe for little kids below the ages of 3. Also, it is very easy to lose these pieces. One more thing is that it is difficult to snap on the pieces onto the figures. On the other hand, if an adult can help assemble this playset, there are virtually limitless possibilities for pretend play.

The glacier and ice base is fully compatible with other Playmobil playsets. The ice cover is translucent, with partial see through effect, and has these slots for inserting little climbing rungs into, which the explorers can use to reach the top of the glacier.

Also worth a mention is the Dino Egg Playset #3193, which is a mini playset containing a baby dino in an egg, and 2 explorers along with a host of accessories. This playset can be used as an extention to the Dinosaur Expedition Playset.

Overall, this set is rated 4 stars.
