Title: SpeedybenPlaymo's Collection
Post by: Speedyben on September 15, 2021, 10:20:43
Hi everyone! My name is Ben and I will share from now on my collection with you.
It is a perfect timing as I just made a Novelmore diorama on the Expo in Roeselare Belgium. When I was young I had a lot of Playmobil, but in 2013 I sold everything... My Playmobil collection started in 2018 and today I have 2512 figures. I will share some of my purchases and the growing of my collection. I collect the Knights, Novelmore, History, Ayuma and Zoo themes, Magic themes and also licences like Volkswagen, Dragons and Heidi. I often share pictures of my collection on Instagram too: Speedybenplaymo.
I will also share the part numbers of unknown parts (till now) that I found out about :)
First I will start with that. As I bought a lot of Griffon Knights of the Fi?ures Series 19, there was a body (30634342) and arm (30282810) missing so I have those part numbers, just like the legs of the minstrel (30647836).
This made it possible to make some customs  ;D

Monday a DS order arrived with the snake and the peacock of AOA Ayuma.

The snake really is enormous! It has also a lot of "thorns" and the peacock has a really nice print  :love:

Hi Ben,

Your custom chap looks very dapper.

I like the snake -- thinking it could double up as a Harry Potter basilisk..

That's a great picture of the Griffon-knight-torso guy, Ben.

Presumably you requested replacements for the missing parts from your Series 19 figures and picked up the part numbers from the invoice sheet when they arrived? If you email the numbers to Heather at playmodb@gmail.org, she will surely include them in the DB (or she may see them on here and pick them up that way).

2512 klickies! That's impressive!

Very nice, Thanks for sharing these.  Does the snake have the wire or metal insert so it can be bent into different shapes? They had the large red one before that was that way.

Welcome Ben! I was in Roeselare last Sunday and saw your diorama, it was the first time I saw the Novelmore castles in real life, I have to say they are much bigger then I expected! Now I'm curious of your whole collection, over 2500 klickies... That's a lot! But I guess since you're collecting knights, you'll have many duplicates?

I didn't know they sell the legs, arms and torsos separately now as well... That must be a recent change?

Yesterday I have put my 2 Novelmore castles together as 1 big castle...

...but the table was too small :-[ so I still have some spare parts left. :lol:

I watched the whole Novelmore series again yesterday and I can't wait for March 2022 to have that wonderfull dragon!! :love:

Next week the extra equipment of my skeletons should arrive and than I will take some pictures of my Sal'ahari Sands  ;D

Yes I do have many duplicates for my Novelmore, griffon knights, fleur-de-lis, skeleton and orcs army.
I will post more pictures of my collection in the net days/weeks  :lol:

Post by: Speedyben on September 26, 2021, 10:27:23
I still hope that Playmobil  :playmo: will release some Novelmore citizens as duopack or special plus or Playmobil plus set :klickygrin:
And I hope that there will be a Novelmore mystery boxes series 2! Hopefully with citizens, skeletons, Violet Vale, Novelmore and Burnham Raiders characters! Like Scribbles and Sir William Keene.

My Burnham Raiders castle is too small for all of the knights...
So, here is the biggest part of the figures

I assume you noticed that the Novelmore Advent Calendar for this year has castle wall parts in it? It's a bigger and more expensive one because of that but useful if you have that castle series. I got the Lava large castle but haven't gotten the main Novelmore one.
Title: Re: SpeedybenPlaymo's Collection
Post by: tahra on September 27, 2021, 08:20:18
Thanks for the pics!

I love the look of the dark Novelmore castle, but will not get it, since it's system WHY (wallet rejoices). It looks beautiful though.

And I also love the klickys, generally (except the "gear" thing printed all over them) - gorgeous colors.

Looking forward to more pics!

I did a different skeleton army with a couple of surprise skulls and some extra parts...

As far as I know the Novelmore castles are system X (at least the main walls)... So your wallet might reconsider it...

No, the recent castles (since the first ones, and even those...) have system X bits, but are ,imo, basically system WHY, since they aren't really versatile. I hate those stupid walls - with the battlements included to me they are basically useless, since there's nothing else you can do with them :(

The large dark tower is especially gorgeous... but system WHY...
Title: Re: SpeedybenPlaymo's Collection
Post by: GrahamB on September 27, 2021, 17:43:24
If I am correct, "System WHY" is not a term used by Geobra, but invented by Collectors (tahra, probably!), in parody of 'System X,' as a protest about building parts which can only be combined with parts from the same set, so there is little or no scope for creating your own buildings with them. They are sometimes joined with yellow and red connectors, as in System X buildings.

For anyone unfamiliar with English, the letter Y is pronounced the same as the word 'why,' so it's a clever parody! Why not produce more versatile pieces?

I am 99% almost sure it wasn't me!  :-[

But very fitting :(

Actually, it was Martin Milner who coined the term, but you embraced it enthusiastically, tahra!   Here's your post from 10 years ago  :)  (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=9033.msg164223;topicseen#msg164223)

No worries, Graham - that was slightly before your time so you probably wouldn't have remembered the origin.  :)

I'm reminded that there is so much interesting history in the threads here at PlaymoFriends.  If I'm looking to kill some time I like to go back to the beginning of a thread and read through to the present day - it's a nice way to see some old friends, too.  :yup:

Hey guys I am back! :wave:

After building a "Dreamlands" diorama on the Playmo Weekend in Mol (I will share some pics soon), I am focussing 100% on Novelmore now!

I got rid of all of my empty boxes last week to have some extra space and change my home from museum to house lol and am selling some sets I have multiple times :D

I planning on renovating my garage to have new Playmobil room, where a Novelmore diorama will be!
I am working on my Novelmore castle and creating the Novelmore world irl. It is a big project but I ready for it.
Here are some previews ;D

Hey everyone!

My girlfriend and I have started a new diorama project, of 8m² which will be on the exposition in Roeselare, Belgium, later this year!
This will be my 4th diorama after Novelmore, Animalia and Dreamlands.
The diorama is a zoo/animal park, with many different animal species!
The diorama and zoo will be called...

Rainforestation Park!
(https://i.imgur.com/qnWKrM0.jpg)

I am very excited for the new project as we have been working very hard on the preparations!

There will be 5 "continents" in the park and at the moment the 2nd one is almost finished!
Here's a small sneak peak ;D

Stay tuned!
You can see more sneak peaks on the Instagram profile of the diorama:@planimalspm

I’m looking forward to seeing picture of your "Dreamlands" diorama.
The pictures of the new novelmore diorama look promising.

The second picture has two different colours of mushrooms in it. They look a bit faded compared to the rest. Are those from the new Wiltopia/recycled plastic sets? Do all the Wiltopia and other recycled sets (including klickys) look faded or is it just certain parts?

I will post pictures of my third ever diorama "Dreamlands" soon! Meanwhile I have been building a diorama called " 't Cruydt int Kasteel" in a real castle. The opening was on 13/08 and I have been on tv and in the newspaper since. The article was about the taboo Playmobil collecting and diorama building. It is not only for children!!
On 16-17/09 I will have my 5th ever diorama called "Rainforestation Park". It will be smaller than planned and won't included everything from the pictures that were posted before but I can assure it will turn out great! :love:

The mushrooms are indeed both of the PLAYMOBIL Wiltopia product range. Most parts look pretty much faded yes. :D

Hey everyone! :wave:
As you all probably know I am very passionate about Novelmore. That is why I made a petition, to release Sir William Keene as a PLAYMOBIL set, this to celebrate the 5th anniversairy of Novelmore in 2024. Playmobil won't do anything about the 5th anniversairy of Novelmore (in August 2024), and I want to do something about that! He was the storyteller, who was the only figure in the first Novelmore preview (https://youtu.be/TAP1fohr4qo?si=ytnRjHHQ_YboDV7_), and then appeared many more times in the Youtube series and the Playmobil Novelmore magazines. He would be an amazing expansion, whether you are a collector or a diorama builder. Novelmore has been the biggest theme of Playmobil in the last 5 years in my opinion and we can't let this event pass by. If we have enough signatures, I will send a very extensive email to Playmobil to explain the whole idea and I can present the petition. That's why I wanted to ask you to write down all your ideas for the set here, so I can take them into account in the email.

I will also post news on the instagram page @novelmorepm. A page I made just for this petition and meanwhile talk about Novelmore :love:

This is the link to the petition in different languages:
English: https://www.petitions.net/2024_playmobils_50th_and_novelmores_5th_anniversairy_sir_william_keene
French: https://www.petitionenligne.be/playmobil_50th_and_novelmore_5h_anniversairy_sir_william_keene
Dutch: https://www.petities.com/2024_50ste_verjaardag_van_playmobil_en_5de_verjaardag_van_novelmore_sir_william_keene
Spanish: https://www.peticiones.net/2024_50_aniversario_de_playmobil_y_5_aniversario_de_novelmore_sir_william_keene

Don't hesitate to reach out to me or share the petition! The more signatures we have the better!!! ;D

To all of you who sign for the set, thank you very much for the support! Together we can do this! :thanks:
