I hadn't realised just how much assembly would be required for this toy. There are MANY small pieces in several bags in the box - but it all went wrong as there were NO decent instructions about what goes where! Most of the drawings were unclear and the numbered arrows didn't match up to many of the pieces. After about half an hour of puzzling out how to fit all the small pieces into place, we were left with the hose which had no obvious home, so we put it in the locker, despite the illustration on the box which clearly showed it attached to the cradle at the top of the ladder.
I realise Playmobil go out of their way to provide quite detailed fully working models, but I really do think that they should have a look at their assembly instructions (and I'm REALLY glad I didn't leave it until Christmas morning to figure it all out - I got that job done and re-boxed it fully assembled, so my Grandson can actually play with it!
