My son loves this, but . . . .
By John Quackenbush
My son saw this in the Gift Shop at the Museum of Science in Boston and talked in regards to it for months. We got it for him a few weeks ago and put it together and it has been on of his favorites. It takes numerous assembly, but the directions are somewhat easy to follow and the final product is of decent quality–as have been other Playmobil toys he has. But for what you compensate for these, they ought to be high quality.
As a scientist, it bothers me that there are people and dinosaurs together, but this is regarding play and imagination and I grew up with the mistaken faith that people and dinosaurs co-existed and I turned out OK. But this is reflected in my zero score for “educational value.”
For those of you like us who don’t want your young kids playing with guns, there is a handgun and a rifle that came with the kit. Ours were “lost” as the kit was being put together, preempting the problem.
But the bottom line is that my son loves this, plays with it a lot (as he does his Playmobil Sphinx), and so I would unquestionably buy it again.

Lots of fun, but elements do come off…
By Mom2Three
My 4-year-old got this for Christmas…she is a dinosaur lover and was thrilled with it. A couple months later and this set still sees every day use! She particularly loves the car and the little cage (all kinds of things end up in that cage!). My only complaint is that I’ve had to repeatedly put the wheels back on the car, and may of the other parts are now missing. Playmobil is pretty sturdy, generally, so I am for the most part chalking this up to the fact that she is 4 and that her 2-year-old sister also loves to play with it. Maybe older kids wouldn’t have the same problem. Otherwise, it is a fun set that has seen a lot of playtime around here!

Great accessory for the other Playmobil dinosaur sets
By A. Rice
My 4 and 5 year old sons, and 6 year old daughter love this set. As regards criticism with regards to lack of realism due to people and dinosaurs being in the same set, Playmobil is in regards to imagination and role playing, and we would not have Predator, Jurassic Park, Land Before Time, and the Chased by Dinosaurs series of Walking with Dinosaurs, as well as a great deal of other unforgettable movies, television shows and novels containing both adults and dinosaurs if adults, who knew that dinosaurs and people did not genuinely coexist, did not have the capacity to imagine situations that implicate persons interacting with dinosaurs.
