Sets 5119-5126 comprise the sets in the new-in-2012 Farm theme from Playmobil, but this one--5119 Barn with Silo--is the pièce de résistance. Frankly, 'Barn with Silo' doesn't do it justice. If you could magically enlarge it to full size and breathe life into all of the figures, you would have a fully functioning dairy farm. No word of a lie.
Playmobil, as they are wont to do, have included squillions of parts, figures and accessories with this set. There are cows in two different colour schemes, pigs, a rooster, birds, all manner of pens and farm tools, a gruff but lovable farmer, his wholesome wife and their slightly odd-looking son. Amazing.
Rounding out a truly marvellous set are the various operational gadgets. The silo can be filled and emptied, there's a working pulley, the doors open and close, the figures can grip the tools and so on. All of this means repeat play value.
This Playmobil 5119 Barn with Silo set features:
- A milking machine
- Hay bales
- A working silo that can be filled and emptied
- Solar panels on the roof
- A working pulley to raise and lower farm supplies (like the sacks of feed)
- Lots and lots and lots of animals
The farm barn is 74 x 41 x 26.5 cm (Lx W x H) and the silo 18 x 15 x 34 cm.
Complete the experience with the following Playmobil Farm sets:
Playmobil 5120 Farm House with Market
5119 Barn with Silo would make a great gift for a small boy, and 5120 would make an equally fabulous gift for a small girl. So if you know a small boy and a small girl, your path is clear!
Playmobil 5121 Hay Baler with Trailer
Without hay, what are the animals that live in the barn going to eat, eh? Exactly. And that's why Barn with Silo and Hay Baler with Trailer go hand-in-hand.
