Wow, thats really a huge collection you have, could you maybe tell us a bit about whats being said for those that don't know Greek? :)
Where they being nice with their questions? I get the feeling they where positive about it.

What are they saying?

Hello guys.
Of course they were positive and in the beginning they thought that it was a toy store.! They presented him as the the biggest playmobil collector in Greece. His name is Dennis and you can find him on PCC and on facebook with the nickname GRecobil. He is my best friend!! They asked him how many years he is collector, how much money he has spent for his collection, what is his job, if he is married and if he lets his children to play with his playmobil. They asked if this hobby is expensive and if he has give lots of money to buy something rare. Dennis showed them the pirate ship which was from playmobil Lyra and told them that it was the first pirate ship that the Greek company made and that he gave for this, 1000 euro back in 2003! He told them that he has all the series from 1990-2000 into their boxes! Another one question was if his wife knows about the money he has spent for his passion and he said... "next question please". "She doesn't want to hear that". :lol: They wanted to ask more but they didn't have a good connection and so they stoped. The last question, which Dennis didn't hear, was if he is into the Guiness book! That was funny!! :lol:
If you notice better, you will see also my avatar in there. ;)

Thank you so much for the quick version of the interview. It looks so orderly in there and so many MISB sets. Now I want a friend :P
Hm, I do have a wife like that though :-[ "next question please" :lol:
-
I think I remember him from the PCC tour... right?
And I just saw your avatar :)
Thanks for sharing, and translating!

I watched it again, is it just me or are the women giving off the "what an idiot" vibe and the men "what a silly man" vibe?
Oh and why is the ugly 5788 pirate ship always there? It even sells for a lot now on auction? Back when it was at Target it was on clearance for $19, I have a pile of them and find the colors awful, orange and blue wood?

The people seemed pretty positive to me, aside from some that only showed their face briefly on the show. The blonde woman seemed curious to me and a bit in awe.
Was doubting if maybe it was you though since I saw your avatar, I gues he was just visiting then. :)

Hello again.
Let me tell you a few more things about Dennis and his collection. I made a mistake to my last comments. In his collection there are all the sets of all themes from 1975 (he doesn't has many sets of 1974) until 2009!! Plus that he has all the sets of playmobil Lyra, or Lyra new and Lyra with the sign L!! And all these not only once.
In this room there are only the closed boxes and his figures. Dennis cooperates with Playmobil Hellas and he is doing big dioramas for them. He is doing this just for fun and he doesn't take money of the company. He has done until now three big dioramas. A Victorian town, a big Western diorama and a diorama with knights and fairies for the play and give project of this year. All those dioramas were made with parts of his collection. Right now those dioramas are in the Playmobil's storage, because he doesn't has more place to his home to bring them back! He doesn't needs parts of those dioramas to build another one. He can build another one Victorian city or Western city with his collection that he has at home! If you notice better the video, at the right of the room there is a big closet. It is closed but he has in there all his trains!!
There are more places in his house with playmobil plus that he has many sets to his mother's house! Anyway, on the video, the show hosts were positive but curious and impressed. The blond lady knew Dennis well, because she collaborated with Playmobil Hellas on play and give project. On this project except the two figures there is also a book tale and Dennis did the visualization of it on his diorama. The blond lady did the presentation of the tale and read it to the kids. You can see pictures of his work to his page on facebook, here.
