Because Everyday Should Start Off With A Laugh


Well, I know what my nephew is getting for Christmas this year. This Amazon.com review sums up the fact that Playmobil has a pretty good sense of humor:

Interesting to note that customers who view this item ultimately buy the following Playmobil items:

11% - getaway car
7% - tanker truck
2% - bank counter

Children aren't only the future...they're the future of imaginative terrorist plots!

Seriously, though, this toy provides a great way to educate kids about air travel before a big trip. Playmobil's toys hold up well and keep the little ones entertained, so no gripes. One little oddity to point out is that the xray monitor displaying the bag contents shows what appears to be a fire extinguisher, a duck and several brown poo-shaped objects. The kids don't seem to notice, so, hey, whatever floats your boat when you're on the road, right?

Seriously, doesn't your child need to jackboot up his or her Playmobil town?
