PLAYMOBIL NHL Hockey Arena by PLAYMOBIL®

Product Information

We had one of those sets with the two-dimensional players for everyday use, but the really nice set with the detailed hockey figures was saved for the holidays.

The blue team could easily pass for the Winnipeg Jets, for example, and the white and red team could easily become the Detroit Red Wings or Carolina Hurricanes. My son is REALLY into hockey right now (3yr old) and this has provided hours of self-entertainment for him (I'll admit, I enjoy playing with it too - even our 13yr old sits down and plays this!

Jen’s days are filled by her seven year old son and husband plus her toddler who was crazy enough to make her arrival on Christmas Day. It is not difficult to put together and I'm glad I bought it new because it comes with a ton of team logo stickers; which is a big bonus to a toddler! But waaaaaaaaait a minute,” says the sharp-eyed reader, “Where did those New York Rangers players come from? I played it with my family and friends, with the extra special nice tabletop game with the cool figures saved for the holidays. And here’s something I discovered that I’m not even sure Playmobil thought of, you can put the goalie on his action feature sideways.

Their accessories include skates (which connect to the lever that moves them), leg pads, a blocker, a trapper, a goalie stick, and, of course, an awesome facemask. At his last birthday my poor deprived child begged and pleaded for the new Playmobil Arena but I put my foot down and said absolutely not. Well, I’m happy to report here that although Playmobil’s attention to detail is still greatly evident with their NHL Hockey Arena, it is very easy to assemble.Position your goalie to cut off the angle and experience all the incredible details that make hockey so amazing. But never fear, for Playmobil has even included two goalies in the play set that attach to a rig in the goal. I think that this toy will actually have longevity in this household and it is most definitely a keeper. Combined with the puck shooting action of the skaters, the ability of the goalies to go post to post in the crease really makes for a lot of fun hockey gameplay.
