Hello from the middle of nowhere, the most land-locked place in the USA — Nebraska. Playmobil was never easy to get here, especially pre-internet. My daughter and I spent many happy hours with Playmobil, mainly the Victorian house and knights. I've continued collecting and creating some basic custom figures. I won't say I'm obsessed, but would consider moving to Germany for access to their parts system. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community and learning from others. Especially interested in how people find hard-to-get parts and techniques to remove tampo printing/paint from vehicles without destroying them.
I would love for Playmobil to create a series of historical knights (similar to their artists and musicians). It would be fantastic for them to do a set based on The Neverending Story. I just started collecting some of the Mission Geo space series.
