My son (10 years old) wanted some soldiers and other army toys to play in the sandpit. This pack is very good value for money as you get quite a lot of figurines for what you pay. While they may look quite plain for the grown up eye, I have been told by said son that sheer numbers outweigh authentic looks by far. You have to have an army, not just a few soldiers... We bought this together with the
jumbo army pack which provides some boats, tents, sandbag walls and tanks. Combined, those toys have provided endless hours of play in the sandpit with enormous amounts of creativity set free in building up terrains for those armies. Not a bad investment if your kids are into these things.
