Title: Hello from Texas!
Post by: Stacy on November 28, 2011, 05:25:42: Hi everyone! I am a sahm and photographer from Texas. I just started collecting playmobil this summer for my 2 kids. They totally love it more than any toy that I have ever bought them. My son started with the current pirates set for his 3rd birthday. They now have 3 bins of various PM sets! I think that I may have a wee little addiction since most of their Christmas will be PM. :-[

For those of you who collect for your kids, how do you store their sets and do you have a dedicated play area for PM?

Thanks! I look forward to chatting with you all!
Stacy

What's a "sahm" by the way? :-[

Great to see you here :wave:
I have three littlies too and although all the Playmobil in our house belongs to 'mummy' they are of course more than welcome to play with any of my stash!
I keep my Grande mansion on a large, low table in the front room so its permanently on display.
I need to get to it regularly so I can post about the goings on there on my blog:
http://hookytime.blogspot.com/ (http://hookytime.blogspot.com/)
The table has a painted grass and train track effect on it as its supposed to be the base for a Brio train set-up.
All my other bits and bobs are stored in suitcases or shoeboxes underneath said table.
Anyway that's how I keep my downstairs collection-who said anything about the upstairs collections lol :-[
A girl can never have enough 'stash' right ;)
Best wishes
Issyx

Post by: bonniebeth on November 28, 2011, 17:03:13: Yes, but we do have quite a few here who at least started out collecting for their kids, and then found themselves addicted, or who enjoy playmobil as a way to bond with their kids.

sahm= stay at home mom?

Welcome from the Scottish Highlands! :ness:

Maybe you have spent a lot on the Playmobil, but you can always tell your husband it is an investment. ;)

Other toys will break easily and lose their value - your kids will play with their Playmobil for many years to come. If they eventually do lose interest, you can keep it for your grandchildren to play with. Or (if it is looked after well) you can get your money back by selling it.

There are a few topics around here on storage. The easiest way to find them is by putting relevant keywords in the search bar. :)

Have fun at PlaymoFriends! :D
