what do you do with, how do you store, your PM collection?
« on: February 19, 2012, 21:22:52 »
hey eveyone. I have been increasing my PM collection a lot recently and i was wondering what you guys do with all your PM.  I am not a "leave it in the box" sort of person. I want it out where i can see it and put it together! If i had my way, i'd have it all out on display, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to do that. I think my husband is getting tired of it laying everywhere and stepping over it in the floor, etc.

I just wondered what creative ways you guys might display or store your collections!

thanks

Most of my collection is stored in huge plastic bins, although I also have a fair amount of Playmo on display.
Life's essentials: food, water, shelter and at least one klicky.

On two Ikea tables. I normally rotate my displays every three months or so. I currently have my city on display.

Playmobil City Fire Department District 1 stations; 11, 12, 13, 14, 15


Playmobil City Fire Department District 2 stations; 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

This is the way I have finally displayed my PCFD collection. I still need a couple of shelves for District 1 though :-[! I have a lot more shelves with other items displayed, & I may show them later.
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

I don't have nearly as much Playmobil as others, but I keep mine in small plastic containers. I store most of my figures (my favourite ones anyway!) in those cases that are made by Playmobil. The ones with trays in them are awesome to keep weapons and equipment separated, but the trayless ones are good for storing them as well!
