Hi All :wave:
I joined a few months ago but haven't been very active since. Its probably now time to introduce mysefl and say hello.
I'm not a collector really but just a dad. Aged 45, I grew up with Playmobil and now that I have a son its all come back to me! My mother kept all my old sets from the early 80's. Getting those out, cleaning and giving them to my son reminded me how much I had enjoyed playing with Playmobil. I was also impressed that those sets, now all 40 years of age, are still like new. The plastics haven't faded, are still supple and work well; what a quality product.
As a car fan, my "second life" with Playmobil started with the red 911 car from circa 2016 (set 3911). I've since bought quite a few sets for my son, possibly too many! Have to say, I'm slightly addicted now... Is there such as thing as too much Playmobil for a 5 year old?
My interest in Playmofriends comes mostly as an admirer of what people are doing with their sets (some amazing work!) as well as to research and learn about some of my own sets from the 80's. Its also nice to see more about what is coming out and views on Playmobil as a company. Finally, if of interest, I'll try and share some pictorials on our sets, both modern and classic if time allows.
Looking forward to being a participant and active member!

Hello and welcome, Riccardo, from Stroud, Gloucs!
Glad to hear you are enjoying your 80s PM sets again with the help of your son. It would be good to see your old sets if you felt like sharing them on here.

Welcome! I hope you've seen the new Classic Car sets. <*)

Hi Riccardo, welcome from the Netherlands!!
No, there is no such thing as too much playmobil 8}
I’m not a collector either, but just a mom. Ive organized my (our) playmobil in small themed sets and that works wonderful. It also keeps it interesting because we can rotate. Today my son wanted to combine the clowns with the hostpital set. It was a lot of fun.
How wonderful that your mom has saved all your playmobil. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!!!

Welcome from Porugal!
Is there such as thing as too much Playmobil for a 5 year old?
No. :P

... and a warm welcome from the Netherlands too.
Though a child of 5 can have too much Playmobil, an adult can't.
At least; that's my motto :lol:

Hello, welcome from Antwerp, Belgium :wave: Happy to have you with us!
I have a 6-y-o who already has too much Playmobil. I, on the other hand, definitely need more. I have an order coming in as we speak :lol:

Hello again and thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome!
Haha, seems like some people here might actually have to keep the kids away from their sets! I totally get it, these klickys hold in themselves a sort of utopian niceness that just cheers one up.
Most of my classic sets are at my parents place in Italy, so I won't have access to those until the summer. I do have in London my first Playmo car (3210) with the grey wheels (I also have the later version with white wheels as part of set 3152.

Today I bought a couple of semi-classics: 3147, used but still in box and with instructions, only a few small bits missing:

and 3218, got lucky with this one as its new in box.

I'll try and start with some pics of the above and see how it goes (any reccomendations for hosting sites?).

I use Imgur
Such classic sets, congratz on the MIB one :love:

Three nice sets, though I only have the blue car. I reviewed all the old cars of that style here (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=16580.0).
I use postimages because it's free and easy to use. I used to use photobucket (as in that review), but even though I had a subscription, they stopped allowing posts to online forums like this one, so I ditched them.

LOL - that was also my first Playmobil car; it was given to me by my Grandmother as a birthday gift. I loved that blue car ...
I might still have it somewhere. Should look for it.
All the best,

Hello Riccardo!
Welcome from Germany! I also had this blue car (may be still lying around broken in my mother's basement) but I don't remember the red racing car. I did have two racing cars in the very same shape but in white colour. I'm afraid they're lost but I raced many laps with them.
