Hello from Yorkshire
« on: November 16, 2009, 15:14:53 »
Hello,javascript:void(0);

My name's Roger and I'm a Playmobil admirer, fan and collector.

I first was given a Playmobil cowboys & Indians Superset for my birthday in 1975 and have been a fan on and off since then. After I was considered too old to enjoy Playmobil, I didn't really take an interest until I started buying toys for nephews and nieces. Remembering how much I enjoyed Playmobil as a kid, I bought Playmobil for them and my interest was rekindled.

My first main collection was the Victorian theme. I still have the original house, but several years ago I sold all the room sets and add ons to raise some money. I have been an Ebay seller for six years and started off selling
Playmobil. I had three sets of the park fence that sold for over £200 each! Being new to Ebay and selling Playmobil, I was gobsmacked at the prices I got for all my Victorian sets. I bought the park fencing from Playmobil direct service at £12.99 each I think. If only I knew how sought after that set would be, I would have bought a lot morejavascript:void(0);

The themes I like the best tend to be playworlds that contain a building of some sort and I prefer the modern day sets to the historical ones, Victorian theme excepted. I like the new modern house and hope to treat myself to one soon, as well as the delightful wedding theme. There's so much Playmobil I would like and I am always amazed at what the Playmobil designers come up with.

Anyway, that's just a little introduction. I am enjoying reading the posts and learning more about my favourite little people.

Hello Roger  :wave:

   Welcome to playmofriends . Sounds like you will be in good company with the themes you enjoy . Isn't it amazing what kind of appreciation some of these sets can generate. I often wonder what set that we have easy access today that will be fetch a 1000% return. Even though it took 20-ish years to get there that is still 50% a year.

   Please join in and as you may have noticed, we all love pictures of members creations  :**:

Hi Roger!

I was also introduced to Playmobil through the Western theme as a Birthday present back in '74 or '75, but I like the Historical themes best.

I never had any Playmobil buildings until the last 3 years, but as a boy I used cardboard boxes, my bed, tables and chairs, to represent houses, castles, caves under the mountain (the bed) etc. I guess I just had more vivid imagination then.  These days I've got lazy and bought a ton of buildings so I don't have to imagine quite so hard.  :-[
