Title: Back after a long break!
Post by: gloobey on October 06, 2017, 04:29:59
Just wanted to say hello to everyone again after a long break. It's been several years. I've actually been busy operating my own toy shop. One of my main interests was to sell Playmobil, and I've done just that. I have a small shop, but have dedicated as much as possible to Playmobil. I've been reading between the lines when it comes to what the company is doing business-wise. There is not a lot of communication from the company in general. Most of what I know is based on past experience, and asking questions. All in all, I still love Playmobil. It's the best toy ever and I love it so. I plan on being involved a bit more here, so if anyone has questions about new product or anything Playmobil USA is doing don't hesitate to message me. I'm happy to share anything I know. I'm glad to see that there is still a loyal following here at Playmofriends.
-Steve

Yes!!! Big Time. It's the reason I got interested in Playmobil at first. I run LGB trains along with Playmobil in that scale. I moved into a new house this year, so am hoping to get a garden layout on the ground soon.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, I missed being a part of this forum. Running a toy store takes 23 hours of my day (it seems like!), the other hour is for sleeping.

Selling Playmobil has given me a different perspective on the company and how the toys are perceived by parents/kids. The adults that collect Playmobil have their own focus. Basically, I have the privilege of seeing people of all ages get excited about and acquire new Playmobil. It's the best part of running my shop, and is very satisfying. I also get to see and buy all of the Playmobil I can get my hands on. Probably a little too much, but I don't care. It really is a great toy.

Thanks again to everyone, I look forward to being more involved again!

A garden layout... what a dream!

I used to have one but since we moved into a new place quite on top of a hill I focussed on attic railways. Rainsafe, antproof and slopefree  8}.

I look forward to your contributions to the forum!

Hi Steve
Welcome back. Your toy store is wonderful, and in a great town. (Remember I stopped by to see you a few years ago?)  Hope all is going well.
