 fantastic with Playmobil or other 3 to 4 inch figuresFeb 06, 2008
By Mark
POSSIBLE CONS:
1. There's not a lot of "action" to it. There's a small, clumsy trap door and the cell gates open and close. Other than that, there's not much to appeal to kids who are looking for lots of bells & whistles.
2. It's not as modular as some other Playmobil sets. You can't really arrange it any way other than shown and it doesn't attach well to other playsets.
3. Unlike a real stadium, the seating only goes around a quarter of the circle, so three quarters of the outer wall has no play interest- it simply encloses the space.
PROS:
1. It's gorgeously crafted with cute little Roman god statues actually holding horns and scrolls. There are little torches and chains which hang on the outside of the main gate (you can't see them in the photo here). And the imperial box with its flaming torches is a great dramatic space for play or diorama building.
2. The included figures will be fun for kids- a lion, a tiger, a chariot, gladiators in different colors and individualized armors.
3. For adults looking for diorama building, the playset works with Star Wars, Papo, and Schleich figures, or other 3 to 4 inch figures. You can leave off the cartoony stickers, add a little paint and you've got a fascist parade ground for your WWII soldiers, a fantasy temple for some Papo conquistadors, or (in my case) Jabba's box from the Phantom Menace.

 Gladiator Arena for Gladiator gridJul 21, 2008
By Robert Burtt
This Gladiator Arena will fit onto a Gladiator grid where it will be used for Gladiator tournaments. I will be using 25 to 40mm gladiators in the Gladiator arena.
This arena will be painted...
Very sturdy arena! some pieces 'hard' to take apart.
thanks!

Historically correct, well-builtJul 14, 2009
By Matt R. Stevens
My children, ages 7 and 8, are playing with this toy right now. They think the trap door is fun, and love pretending that the gladiators beat the lions. My children know their history, they know what happened to the Christians, but they do not feed the Christians to the lions, nor do they mention Diocletian or Nero. While their playing isn't historically accurate, I think they enjoy the power it gives them to change bad history for the good. We have been studying the Romans this summer, and while they have learned to hate the Romans, this gives them a chance to change and manipulate their own world, how they would have liked it to look. I think we as adults do this same thing when we go to the movies; escape reality. I see nothing wrong with this toy. As of yet my children have not allowed anyone to be eaten by a lion with this toy. I would say that bad parenting, not toys, encourages violence.

Great Educational Toy!Feb 13, 2009
By S. R. Magill
The Playmobil Arena is a great educational toy for my children. I had been trying to find a toy that teaches them that the best way to deal with Christians is to feed them to the lions. This is it!
