Title: Hi folks! I'm a Playmobil nut from Belfast, Northern Ireland!
Post by: EarthtoAli on February 05, 2022, 03:21:27
Hi everybody!  :wave:

Delighted to join!

My name's Alice. I'm a Playmobil collector from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I'm sure many of you have had the same experience - Playmobil was my favourite toy as a child. I'm a child of the 80's/90's. My sister and I had a few well-loved sets - some of the Victorian rooms, the ambulance, the school bus.. and my absolute favourite - Franky's Cafe!! I never got rid of my childhood collection, and I've recently taken up expanding it with vigor!

My favourite genres of Playmobil are, in order of preference:

1. Victorian
2. Any Hospital/Cafe/Dollshouse
3. 80's/90's City Life (playground, boats etc)
4. 123
5. Vintage 70's Western
6. Pirates

I also love the special figures, and have a lot of random ones that I love, eg clowns, mermaids etc.

I'd be so thrilled to meet & get to know other Playmobil enthusiasts. There is so much to be enjoyed & shared. So many possibilities!

Cheers & much love, Alice

Welcome from Portugal!

We also have our sets from childhood - the oldest are over 41 years old! - and been adding to them with enthusiasm, to my poor wallet's dismay  ;D

Looking forward to pics from your collection!

I've seen it, & would love it, but I don't have it. I just have 3392 the pizza man, and 9860 the food delivery van,and have ordered a bunch of food bits second hand eg hotdogs etc and ice-cream vendor. I love anything to do with food!!

Will try & do a little scene & send photos when I get all my little food sets together!

Thank you do much everyone for your warm welcome & enthusiasm about seeing my collection..

Excited to share, once I get a little more organised!

I was also a big fan of Franky's as a child! I'm a fan of the food stuff in general too, there is an adorable crepe cart out this year

(and welcome from across the water in south-west Scotland!)

Hello, so happy to meet a new Playmobil enthusiast who shares my early love of Frankie's CafĂ©!  :lol:

I'm in Antwerp, Belgium. I'm a huge Victorian theme fan, but I also collect other dollhouse, Western, medieval, city life, circus and magic sets. What I like most of all is to create an entire world in a diorama.

Careful, this thing is addictive  ;D

Hi Alice!

Welcome from Germany! I'm also a big fan of the Victorian series and I own the original house from the 1990s. I also got all of the Western steck houses when I was a child but I am afraid they are not complete any more.
