from Canada with... playmo! (finally)
« on: February 05, 2009, 21:09:30 »
Greetings from the Victoria, British Columbia.  So what can I tell you about myself?  I have been collecting playmobil since 1999. I've been a member of some of the other forums for almost as long and I've been visiting here for a long time so I think it's about time I joined in!  There certainly seems to be a good community feeling here.

My first klicky was Special 4564 ("tribesman") which my wife encouraged me to get as a counterbalance to her Barbie collecting!  Being that I'm interesting in history and culture I added lots of knights and pirates and magic theme sets - and lots of specials (but not those scary clowns!) and space and Romans... and now 800 plus klickies later I guess you could call me a somewhat serious collector.  Obviously I am really looking forward to the arrival of the Egyptians - and I'm one of those advocating a historical Japanese theme (maybe next year?)

I'm not sure what to think of the new dragonland knights theme... maybe once I've seen some reviews and better pics I'll decide - but I will probably have to buy one of the towers anyway.

That said, I'm glad to be here!

David

Hi David!

Welcome from the Netherlands. It's great to see you here and I certainly hope you're going to like it here.

Hello from Ottawa - I love Victoria!  I haven't been there in a few years though.  If you are ever coming this way check out our local toy store - PlayValue on Carling (Please note I have no affiliation with them) they have the best selection of discontinued stuff!

Hi David,

Another warm (it's actually a bit nippy outside) welcome from the Netherlands.
