Hello from Holland
« on: November 23, 2011, 17:39:27 »
Hello everybody!

Since I'm new here, I thought I'd do a quick introduction. I'm Keesinho, a Dutch fan of Playmobil, ever since I was 4. That was quite some time ago though, but over the years, I kept my love for playmobil! A few years ago I started collecting my favorite childhood toy again!

My main collector's focus lies on the Playmo Western themed sets as I loved them so much as a kid. I'm trying to collect all the sets (and if possible with the original box) but I'm nowhere near that goal yet. But that's the main fun of collecting isn't it? Once its completed, you are ..errr..done :)

Hopefully I'll meet like minded people here, who love to share stories of their playmo-hunting at flea-markets, ebay and who knows where. The search is probably the most rewarding part of the hobby :)

Next to collecting the sets, I love to customize and restore old klickies. Disassembling them, restoring their often weakened frame to full strength, and of course creating all sorts of new figures.

Have fun, and keep collecting! ;)

Hello and  :welcome: to Playmofriends from Greece!

The western theme is my third favourite, after knights and pirates, and I find that even when completed a collection is never done, you constantly add touches to your collection that you never want to finish  ;D

Hope you enjoy the forum! Great yo have you with us  :wave:

Welcome from the UK! :wave:

Western is one of my favourite themes as well, and I have been trying to collect every set too. I'm nearly there - just a few more to go! :D

Damo :)

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.
