So, a few months ago my wife begged for a Playmobil set. I looked over what she wanted and thought it seemed fine.  She ordered it.  When I got out here, I got to see it all set up. It was a great, happy forest scene across two pieces of furniture.

Then her brother came out to visit this weekend.  And, without prompting, made some changes.  This prompted Laurie to create a collection on Flickr, in my account, for our Playmobil Expirement. Her text on the collection sums it up best:

A tranquil forest setting comes into contact with household visitors...

So here's how it works.

We have this great Playmobil set that looks a lot like our house, yard, etc. We set it up in the spare bedroom, which will eventually be a kids room, but for now is a guest room. Then we invite our houseguests to customize it as they see fit. And we document the results in picture and video form, as well as do an exit interview to make sure we understand what we're seeing...

The scene went from a nice, tranquil, forest story to one of death and destruction. There's even video to go along with it. Check out the full set to see the rest of the havoc he created.

The normal configuration will be available later. Laurie had to reset it and we haven't had a chance to take those pictures just yet. These are more entertaining, anyway.
