Always a fan of Playmobil, this set appealed to me for my son because it is different from his usual themes and is a nice self-contained set. It is good value for money, and comes with a variety of accessories.

Despite being "take along", it is not ready to play straight from the box. The main buildings are joined together and open out from being a "closed" unit to being in a line (as pictured on the box). It took about ten mins to assemble (e.g. adding the signs, internal fittings etc. The bits and bobs can be stored inside when you close the set back up again.

My son really enjoyed playing with this set. It has 3 figures, two horses, and loads of accessories. He also used it with other toys (e.g. his batman figures - the sheriff helps batman to put the baddies in jail, so it is very versatile. You can buy extra figures and bits and bobs direct from playmobil e.g. extra cowboys, indians etc. if you want to expand the set. All in all, I am really pleased with how much there is for the price, and how much fun my son has had with it. My only negative is that when transporting the closed set as a "take-along", some of the signs etc come off easily so really they need to be removed before transporting.
