Impression of recent Playmo-fair at Ritterhude
« on: December 25, 2005, 18:36:15 »
Hi,

to give you an impression of what the German Playmofair at Ritterhude (near Bremen) looks like, are here some pictures taken at the latest one in november. The next one is believed to be in march 2006.
Here is part1:

You certainly get some great Playmobil events over there.   :)

Sadly, nothing like that over here! :(

Yep, Gordon said it. Never seen or heard of anything like that in the UK. *sigh*

I would be over the moon to find one table or even just a few items of used Playmo at a boot sale. I really can't imagine what it would be like to visit such a fair. It would be so overwhelming I probably wouldn't know what to look at first or be able to decide which items to buy. 8} ;)

Thanks for the pics, MBL. :-*

I guess since Playmobil is in origin a german made toy, the germans are by far the most fanatic enthusiasts. Some of them have connections to obtain certain items like Playmobil eggs.
This fanatic part shows itself in several fairs in Germany. I don't think there are as much events in other countries as there are over there.

Well, I'd say go indulge yourself and start saving for the trip... ;)

I heartily agree! I would probably embarass whomever I was with as I'd be all "oh look at that!, oh my gosh, look at that!, oh wow, they have that set!..."

Thanks MBL!

Those photos are amazing. What a fun that would be to attend. Like the others here I would be in awe and not know where to begin!

I love the big Police Klicky, and what are those white figures/items on the man's tray in the big booth with all the specials and the big ship...in the "final part" I think?

BTW, I've actually been to Bremen (many years ago)...it was quite a lovely city then. Is it still?

March, eh? Might be a bit too soon for me, but perhaps the one after that. ;D

I think they might be skeletons, that's if I'm looking at the right pic. :)
