.I love playmobil, my kids never really got into it. One birthday I got a tiny set as a cake topper for my birthday cake (a shopping cart with a mom pushing it)...she has been called shopping cart mommy ever since...her shopping cart is long since lost. I also got a woman figure key chain with one of my orders and many times my younger son would play with her in waiting rooms and she started being called shopping cart mommy key chain.
