Hello, Andi ...

Thanks for the great pictures ...

NO CAKE ... ??? That's difficult to believe !!! ... :(

However, just as I have finally told myself that it is OK that I didn't get a "give away" figure (because it's the charioteer and I'll get one later), you ruin my day by showing me a cup I can't have ... :lol:

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

Wow it does look nice!  Even something I wouldn't be embarrassed to have at work.

Hello, Timmy ...  :wave:

Even though it's ridiculous (especially at my age) to worry about what other people might think ... it's true ...  :-[

Interestingly, I can set up my old Playmobil electric train (or my LGB electric train) and no one ever makes any disparaging comments. In fact, EVERYONE seems to enjoy the trains!

However, let me set up a Playmobil scene, without the trains, and almost everyone wants to know, WHY ... ???

I'll never forget a Christmas Party that we had (years ago) when my first Playmo-Room (http://gardenwargaming.com/tour/tour.html) was finished. That was back when I was a practicing psychologist. We invited over one hundred people, which included a large number of psychologists. I  remember having to "encourage" them (out of the Playmo-Room) to enjoy the lovely evening by the fireplace (http://www.silvano.com/Texas/springhollow/images/09.JPG), so that our other guests could also play with the train ... :lol:

Now, if I had only had a display of Playmobil (without the train), I'm sure that there would have been a lot of murmuring about my "stability" ... :lol:

So, I understand what you're saying, Timmy! And, even though it's true ... it's too bad that some "adults" can't lighten up and just enjoy those little smiling faces with all of us ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

BTW ... I had not heard the word "Molly" before ...

And, thanks for the additional info ...

I would like to have a set of those. They would be fun to use when setting the table for dinner guests ... :lol:

I would love to have one like this in my office, but I would always bring it back home, because I would be afraid, someone steals it...  :hmm: :yup: ;)

Great! I hope that Playmobil UK will eventually be selling them online too. :crossed:

If I do manage to get one, I'd probably be afraid to use it on a regular basis in case I dropped it or chipped it when washing up. :-[

Sounds like a really cool idea. I'd love to see a dinner party table set up this way. :)

BTW ... I had not heard the word "Molly" before ...
 

A collector on the smurf forum I attended long ago mentioned his collection of pewter Napoleonic figures drew fawning comments, while his smurf collection earned dead silence from house guests. 

Either this means the typical house guest is a scholar at heart and appreciates the application / modeling of history through pewter and electric trains...

Or else because nearly a century of those toys--formerly a passtime for rich gentry--lends those hobbies an aura of respectability!  I suppose in 2108, a PM collection will be ultra-fab!  "I picked up this set in Dubai.  A gift of the crown prince.  He's into ACW.  The one from 2009-2014."

An old army buddy of mine once saw my smurf collection--it was like opening the door to that room Bluebeard had forbidden.  He was visibly shaking and dead silent.  Things returned to normal after we closed the door and made no further references to it.

I could speculate about what was going through his mind, but now that I know Richard was a former Pyschologist I'll leave it to the professionals! 

BTW, er, uh, RE: Molly: I swear, I once heard somebody say that on a British sitcom.  "A bit molly!"  Like we'd say maybe "metrosexual" but without the taste for fashion or success with women (even on a friend-only basis) that the metrosexual appears to command.

I noticed, when I went look at the new Egyptian cup, that on the German Playmobil site that they have an entire Birthday Party section which we don't seem to have on the US Playmobil site. Do you have one on the UK Playmobil site?

There's lots of neat stuff on the German site ... HERE (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=LZ_Party) !!!


Sounds like a really cool idea. I'd love to see a dinner party table set up this way. :)

If you ever do, please take lots of photos!

All the best,
Richard

Not a lot of chance of that happening. ;)

I don't hold dinner parties. Cooking for 8 people every night of the week is enough of a chore for me. It's almost like holding a dinner party every single day! The only difference is I don't get embarrassed if a dish gets a bit burnt or is slightly undercooked. :P

Plus, while a matching set of Egyptian mugs definitely appeals, I don't think I could afford to buy more than one at the moment.

Most of us would probably agree that it is indeed like you're holding a "dinner party" every day. Which of course means that you must be an expert! So ... perhaps you would like to host our first gathering of all the Playmofriends next year in the Virgin Islands ... :lol:

All the best,

I split the discussion on slang (i.e. definitions of "molly") and moved it to the PFZ in order to keep the discussion separate from this one.

http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2168.0

I also found out where the word comes from. ;)

Thanks for splitting the topic and for finding out where the word comes from ...  :wow:

However, you didn't comment on your "hosting" our first gathering of all the Playmofriends next year in the Virgin Islands with your brand new set of Playmobil Egyptian cups ... :lol:
