hello from amsterdam again!
« on: September 29, 2012, 09:06:33 »
Hello playmofriends!
nice to be back after I've been away for a while... I used to store almost all of my playmobil in my student room. but somehow, last year I felt the need to put it away and 'deplaymo' my place. i don't know exactly why, I think a part of me hasn't accepted that I like playmobil so much? but very recently I've been feeling the urge to build it all up again, I've really missed it. When I now look at my place, it feels like something important is missing. And yet, I feel somewhat embarrassed having to admit this to myself. Does any of you recognize this? Maybe you've had the same experience? thanks in advance for sharing your stories!!

Hello, welcome back from Portugal!

As to your... predicament, can't relate. I never denied it or needed an excuse.  ;D   Friends from college and work gave/give me playmobil on my birthday  :love:

Nothing to be embarassed about - and there's plenty of us too..

Hi from Amsterdam, too ;D
I sort of know what you mean, but I don't have a huge collection like some over here, so I am not completely familiar with the problem.
Btw: You didn't actually 'sold' your playmobil when you said 'deplaymo', right?!

There was a time when I wasn't ready to admit how much I loved playmobil, but I'm totally over it now! I say be yourself, and if you want to have playmobil everywjere, do it!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Hello, and welcome from Scotland. :)

I kept my collection secret from friends and colleagues for a long time....and sure, when I told them some thought I was crazy 8}, but most thought it was really cool to have a hobby/collection. Many also then told me about something that they collect or do as a hobby so chances are, your friends and colleagues are the same. Don't be surprised if they have a secret comic collection or toy collection too! ;D

Hello and warm welcome  :welcome:  :wave:

here are times when I've felt embarassed about my collections but, I share it with my friends who I work with and who are admittedly rather childish and they understand, it's perfectly normal I find to feel embarassed when buying toys and stuff like that but, if you really want something you'll find the reaction isn't normally to bad I egt some god reactions when I'm taking photos of my Action Men out and about, just got to enjoy what you do.
