PLAYMOBIL 5362 - Fire Department ladder truck with Light and Sound (toy)

Customer Review

Since the early 80s we now have numerous Playmobil fire engines in the family.
And I can play after half a year to say this is by some distance the worst, least thoughtful:

- There is only one fireman doing, necessarily the extension set 5366 buy this, otherwise the frustration in the offspring (ergo with parents) is inevitable. Then the part makes it rather more expensive, the main thing it is not a lone firefighter under the Christmas tree, because the grandmother, the could not imagine.
Because I would rather do without the fan, the generator or the hubcaps, RC ability ...

- No storage space for small items (to my knowledge the first Playmobil fire engine without!).
That alone is at a fire brigade for me an elimination criterion. In life and in Playmobil also.
The children put so - a solution finding - the hardware (a lot is at 5362 + 5366 did not qualify) in the box under the ladder, but Playmobil I expect more than just a stopgap.
Kids love the drawers, flaps, rolling doors and the like other Playmobil vehicles.

There is a moderately functioning Aufstecknoppen for pylons, plug holes for shovel and brush, in which the ax but for whatever reason does not fit and therefore needs a special solution, which acts improvised.
(It would not have been difficult: the hose reel behind the ladder and you would behind the cabin space for a huge crate material, but then probably notice how little accessories case is.)
Should I buy the 7485 fire brigade trailer to the but has little accessory own leader, and hang on a DLF now ?!

- The basket on the ladder going too easy on - ok better than broken - but he is very, very easily. And then also for an adaptive three-year-olds not reliable to fix again, so flying the same again. (In the time loop "Papaaa!") If cable ties are necessary has done something wrong, the designer.
So excretion criterion number. 2

- The mirrors are from and away (and too small) far too quickly. Better leave the same way, have indeed prktisch no playful value.

- The director travels much too easily back together.

- The supports are difficult to figure out and when, then one has quickly the whole prop in his hand. Maybe it's thought because then the stamp can better extend what else to do no good, because the stamp must be turned to lock, but there is nothing to touch (except Stelmpeteller below). (That was actually solved already in the 80's perfect!). After all, the boom without losses can equal reconnect.

- The firefighter is only firefighter. That was at Playmobil with a difference. Since everyone everything could be. At that time. And when the fire was a voluntary, then there was a helmet and a few parts to click and off we went.

- The figure is already after half a year so worn out that the arms only hang. This is my old figures for nearly 35 years is not the case.

+ Fortunately Playmobil is more than 40 years a largely compatible system.

- The rear staircase to the deck ladder is 100% and 0% styling function, hold and hochlklettern simply not possible.

- Siren can not be turned off individually (Blue light's ok), but on American clay.

+ No button cells, it can use batteries.

+ Other workmanship and materials are good, the value retention of Playmobil even after years of record on outstanding. (Good! Very) cancel any doors or other parts that are involved in the second time and the vehicle for all stakeholders make worthless (eg brother in 2532, with us scrap from day one).
It is unfortunate that the vehicle has no integrated steel axles more, but only Kunststoffnöppel to put that at this point is a useful but not a good solution.

- I personally like the design is not as good, especially those attached wheel arches. But I'll have to not like, but the young, so purely subjective.

Conclusion:
two stars for the compatible system, the good stuff and the proper processing.
three star deduction for too many weaknesses, not only in detail, mean a step backwards to the previous vehicles.

My Recommendation:
Look for well-preserved, used Playmobil - fire trucks, I actually find any turntable ladder trucks better than this. All can be disassembled good, clean in the dishwasher and are then almost like new. IWahrscheinlich there is then also a couple of firemen and some accessories to. The Head Basket (frustrating but good in itself), you can easily order from Playmobil as a spare part, it adapts itself to the heads of old cars from the 80s.

Tip:
The previous vehicle, 4820, also RC-capable with siren and lights:
Only two places, two firefighters, great storage space with accessories such as a chain saw, a flashlight or great rescue stretcher (for a turntable ladder vehicle just right, no Löschgruppenfahrzeug's) (which allows either mounted to the basket), a staircase at the rear of the vehicle, the also works.
Otherwise very similar.

or even better:

The Vorvorgängerfahrzeug, 3879, with lights flashing but no siren (-:
Also sufficient two places, better restraints, thoughtful storage space, the great rescue stretcher and a basket that holds a little better, not RC capable, but behind (realistic) Dual wheels, functional rear staircase and a great winch forward (with a huge play value, as in the vehicles in front).

Indeed, it is virtually impossible to exchange or return it, which unpacks your child under the Christmas tree, no matter how bad you find it a vehicle.
