Hello!
« on: May 12, 2020, 09:30:06 »
Hi Everyone,

My name is JP — hailing from the USA!  About five year ago, I got reacquainted with Playmobil, when I offered a playset to my young nephew for Christmas ( he was 4½ at the time ).  We had a blast playing with his gift together.  For me, it had been roughly 35 years since I had thought of, much less played with Playmobil!  As I began to research available sets, I was amazed at the incredible variety this company had produced over the years, since my mid-childhood days ( late 70s ).  In the following months and years, I got my nephew more sets — naturally —, and we started building elaborate worlds and stories together.  He is 9 now, and we still talk Playmobil! Anyhow, I am very interested in seeing, and sharing, some of the creative worldbuilding uses of Playmobil, which got me to joining this community.

JP  :wave:

Welcome JP from the US from me, GB from the UK!

Welcome JPSA.
It doesn’t matter how big or small your Playmobil collection is, it’s what you do with it that matters.
