Playmobil is a big favourite in our house, and the Fire Chief’s Car and Playmobil Pirates are played with most days. They seem to bridge the different ages well, with Gemma, Jacob and Max able to enjoy them equally.
We were recently sent the FulguriX from the Playmobil Super 4 range, which includes the Technopolis craft, disc shooter, detachable drone and Agent Gene and Franz figures. Max originally thought this was a spacecraft, and although it is described as a flying car, it really could be anything your child wants it to be!
As with most Playmobil, it is pretty simple to make, and although this is recommended for children over 5, Max was able to put it together with help. There are only a few small pieces, and once built, I would say it is suitable for most pre-schoolers.
The 4 engine thrusters can be rotated around, and the front and rear windscreens can be folded up and down to take figures and items in and out. The front windscreen opens smoothly, but the rear is more difficult – we found that you needed to put your fingers inside and push it open from underneath, which is a bit fiddly. It could do with some sort of button or handle to make opening easier. Underneath the bonnet are 4 fuel tanks, which can be taken in and out, and there is a drone with a detachable prop stand, which is ideal for extending play.
Max’s favourite part of this set is the detachable disc shooter. There are 3 small discs – one fits into the shooter, and you can hang the 2 spares on the side. The discs are released by pulling 2 levers towards you, and Max is able to manage this himself without help. The discs travel a long way, so make sure you shoot them in a spacious area!
This is a fantastic addition to our Playmobil collection, and one that has been an instant hit with all the children. I can see this getting years of play, and being used alongside other toys to create imaginary worlds and play scenes.
I love the construction element, so good for kids and hours of fun once made #TriedTested
That would be a big hit here, too! My son loves his Playmobil toys, and they are so durable.
Ahh! What a great set. It looks like your boy is having great fun with it.
We love Playmobil here.

My pair love Playmobil, often our sets get mixed up so we have the pirate ship being taken over by fairy princesses lol #triedtested
Ahh we are Playmobi fans in this house! They are great for Mia’s little fingers and she loves creating all kinds of games with her figures! It looks like you had fun too!

I don’t think my children will ever get bored of Playmobile or Lego.
I can imagine this flying car will get lots of play not only with other Playmobile sets but across other imaginative play.

We love Playmobil! There is a Playmobil Fun Park not far from us which my kids love, and they always want to take all the toys home! Our latest acquisition was the space rocket and space ship – brilliant. My pre schoolers would love this flying car. Kate #TriedTested
I love playmobil but my kids are less enthralled 🙁 We’ve got some of it and my niece/nephew love it and have lots of super4 sets #TriedTested
Play mobile is a big hit in our house too and my girls will often play together with it. This looks like lots of fun x

This looks great. We are Playmobil fans here too and my son loves all things that resemble cars and would love it more if it shoots discs out! Could well make it on to our ‘to look for’ list. #TriedTested
We’ve not had playmobil yet. Might look into it now. My little one is almost 2 now, so will probably like it.
We love Plamobil, especially my eldest! I love how it makes them occupied (& quiet) for a long time haha. #triedandtested
It really does look like a hit! I love classic toys like Lego and Playmobil. I think they last longer than new gadget-y or electronic toys.
Thanks for hosting #triedtested

What a great toy. We love toys that you can spend time building. I think it’s the investment in time that’s a big hit with us, it’s all quiet for ages and then he gets to demolish it and build it again. Great review x
This looks like so much fun! I can’t wait till my two have a little more patience with sets like these!
