I must say your avatar picture is hillarious, looks like that clicky has quite  chore ahead of her considering shes taking her time to read the newspaper on the toilet and has that plunger right next to her.  :lol:

Thanks!  That plunger was one of the first playmobi items I got...I don't even remember what it came with (laundry set?)  All I knew was I had to have it...I guess my playmobil addiction started with a plunger!!  8}  My nieces were into Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families then so I plopped my lone playmobil figure down in their dollhouse and she made herself at home....

Welcome from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Sometimes, I try to customize Disney look a likes for my four year old daughter. A bear, a tiger, a black panther, a snake and a little boy: Jungle Book! The Snowwhite was easy, she came as a fi?ure. Now I'm trying a Princess Elsa (Frozen) but I don't have the right hair and dress. Does anyone have another ideas?

You could try the ice queen's dress from Fi?ures series 1 (without the big dress part) and one of the newer blonde hair pieces (like the Rapunzel hair in set 5445 on figure 30 14 6270).

Well hello neighbor!  I am in Hillsboro :wave:  [....]  I just moved here last year and found a little mom/pop type store that sells Playmobil...nice to have a choice other than Learning Palace or Toys R Us.

Wait I know that store. That's got to be Let's Play on Main Street! Wonderful store. They carry a complete run and tons of add ons. I got my Colosseum there! They also let me feel up a bunch of Fi?ures bags. It was kind of embarrassing. I lost my nerve and lied that it was for a young relative.

Funnily enough I have a local PM dealer too, Kids at Heart on Hawthorne. I was going to get a pic of the pirate megaklicky in their window but he started breaking and they gave him away - I found out too late!

Finnegan's downtown also carry a lot of PM.

Yep!  Lets Play is a great store!  I like how they carry add on items and everything is well organized. They still have Colosseum and Circus sets there...I haven't fallen victim to them...yet:-)  I also have felt up the playmobil figure bags..and they are right next to the cash register so it is a bit weird....but one of the ladies there said they often have adults come in and squeeze those bags like crazy!  I have seen a Finnegan's while riding MAX light rail but never have gone it yet.  I need to be brave about exploring Portland more:-)

They still have Colosseums? Hmm...I might flip a couple on ebay...They're going for like $200 these days.

I do love Let's Play's organization. And they have TWO megaklickies out front, and sometimes a fabulous PM window display. I should visit again.

Be brave and check Finnegan's out! It's a nice place. Less PM breadth than Let's Play but still a decent selection.

hey Dizneegirl,
welcome from 's-Gravenzande, Netherlands.
No need to be afraid here, just look at Tahra's grand topic and you'll understand  ;D :hehe:

i think nobody should be embarressed for their hobby, as long as they don't go overboard (in a more logical meaning).
I'v seen some awesome collections ;-)
