Playmobil house for boys?

I never know where to post things on this site
in any case, im looking into getting a big playmobil set for my boys (MIL visiting from the states!)
maybe this is like marge simspon's bowling bowl ( if you saw that one), but I was thinking about the house. and this way we can get a different room each time as an add on.
is that crazy to get for boys? is it a "dollhouse"
we already have a lot of police and soilders although we have very few weapons left.
I feel like with all the soilders their creativity runs out I.e. they will "set up" the war and then dont know what to do.
my boys are aged 3-9
if not the house (which anyway I dont know if MIL will buy as its quite expensive) what else is good?
maybe I just love the playmobil for the playmobil and want to play with it too? (dishes are so much less fun!)

My kids (boy and girl) both love the Playmobil dragon castle with the knights.
They constantly rebuild it differently, use other playmobil furniture with it, there are also smaller things like rooms and a king with a throne that you can buy later to go with it.
Definitely not a dollhouse but my daughter also lovs playing with it.

I think the house (there's a smaller one than the 'doll house') which also has rooms and furniture etc. My boys showed an interest in it.

It's not violent and boys also like playing scenarios..just different ones to girls.

We got the fire station which my kids love!

Well obviously not the fairy castle, but the big house looks completely unisex to me. (The "Large Grand Mansion")

My boys have been dying for the Playmobil Lion Knight's Castle for a really long time. We finally just got it from the states but it's sitting in my machsan until Birthday time.
