Greetings from the middle of The Netherlands!
My name is Diederik, I'm in my mid-20's and a fan of Playmobil since I was 4.
At that time I played with my uncle's 1970's Playmobil when I stayed at my grandparents. I remember that I got my two first sets on my 5th birthday, 3041 (Jeep with speedboat) and 3925 (ambulance).
I have a physical disabilty since I was born and playing outside with neighbour kids or classmates was often not possible, so I spent a lot of hours at home playing with Playmobil and Lego. Still, Playmobil was my favourite and my fantasy was unlimited at that time. My collection grew through the years until I reached the high school age. With a few exeptions, collecting has stopped since then.
But my interest in Playmobil remained. Unfortunately, all Playmobil is in the attic, but the catalogues I collected in those years are close by. Everytime I don't feel well, I look through them.
I recently was searching for Playmobil on the Dutch website Marktplaats.nl where many Playmobil sets or parts are offered. Most of the time incomplete sets, and I was wondering if I could possibly buy the sets, make them complete, clean them and sell them. So I would like to get in touch with people who restore sets and want to know how people get spare parts. In addition to that I want to discuss about nice sets and get inspiration to make my own collection bigger, allthough I do not have a whole lot of space at my house. So that’s a point for myself how to shape this.
For so far my introduction. It's nice to have found a forum with fellow Playmobil fans! I hope to learn, be inspired and have lots of fun on the forum.
Nice to get to know each other!
Warm greetings and blessed holidays in advance!
