I am hoping to go... and hopefully see some of you again.. and some for the first time (we do know each other for ages without actually ever seeing each other...)
So.... who intends to go?
-
I am glad someone is organizing something. Will there be any collector shows going on around the same time? I am sure Oliver will have a museum show or two to go to. I have been planning for a Europe trip for the 50th anniversary and since the company isn't doing anything wanted to plan around one of the big collector shows like Share the Smile or LuxPlaymoDays. I can only go once though, for up to 3 weeks maybe.

I'd love that too, but I believe that'd take a car, which I will not have so...
I can only go once too. And probably less than a week.. But I would love to meet some of you.

me ;D
I would absolutely love to meet any Playmofriend in person. (no pressure)

I would absolutely love to see my Playmofriends (again!), but I don't think I can make it to an event on a Saturday in May in Zirndorf when the kids have school the previous day - Seb is still very young and only attends half days. I'd need to come by myself on Saturday and take public transport etc.
Share the Smile (13-14 April) is right where I live, and I'd attend anyway, so that would be ideal. I know Playmoto and Hes attended last year, and several other collectors who have been active here.
LuxPlaymoDays could also work (late August - during our school vacation), but I don't think the official date is released yet. It's only a 3 hour drive for us, so Mitri and I could go by car and leave the kids with their grandparents for a day or two.
There are other Playmobil fairs, in the Netherlands for example, I'll need to look into it.

Awesome!

:'( I was really hoping to see you guys again...

That was... AMAZING. :love:

I'm scheduling in a visit to (relatively) nearby Bamberg (60 km) when in Zirndorf, to stock up on 71014 Heinrichs und Kunigundes. That shop doesn't know what's going to hit them, with so many collectors in the area :D

I wish we could organize something - I assume most of the "international" pfs don't do this every day...
Could we maybe organize another lunch/visit somewhere? If some people had cars maybe we could make it somewhere, splitting costs (of course)..

If you're flying in over Munich (where I live), then we could proceed as you suggest. Sounds like fun! If not, we can organize something different. The meeting is going to be my treat for 2024 <:>
As a Playmobil fan, you MUST also visit Nuremburg, because that is exactly the example from which Steck and the entire medieval Klicky world of the seventies got to look as it does.

Is that restricted to the altstadt or is there a lot of medieval remains elsewhere in the city? Speaking of which having a larger steck house based on Albrecht Durer's or similar historic buildings would surely be of interest.
Congrats on your milestone!

Well, no direct flights to Nuremberg - so, Munich is an option... or Frankfurt.
I did the PCC Nuremberg Tour, but it would be great to do another with fellow playmofriends :)
If this is possible, we should figure out details, BEFORE buying flights/hotel....
I looked at the trains site, and it doesn't seem very doable to go to Speyer alone by train (keep in mind I have a PERFECT sense of misdirection :-[ )
-
At this point I have decided to aim for LuxPlaymoDays which will probably be in August. I don't think the date has been finalized yet. It's the biggest collector show with pretty good international attendance. I will plan on then going to Nuremberg and Zirndorf for the Funpark. Other plans haven't really been figured out yet. Hopefully I can meet up with at least some collectors at the show and maybe even find a companion or two for the Funpark trip.

That's good to know, I'm going to try to make it to LuxPlaymoDays too :D
@StJohn: Congratulations, Master ;D

Speyer (which is great place to visit in it's own right) is on the Rhine and quite far away from Franconia (where Zirndorf, Nuremberg, and Bamberg are). I don't think that I want to visit all these places in one trip. I'll set off from Munich to the event in Zirndorf, will probably stay the night in Nuremberg, and perhaps include a visit to Bamberg, but that's it, so will return to Munich on the second day.
I imagine that you want to visit the Oliver Schaffer exhibition in Speyer? Sounds like fun, but I need to keep things brief, so I'm not going there. Joint travel to (and from?) Zirndorf is however definitely an option!
Things haven't yet progressed to the commit-and-pay phase at KW yet. That should happen soon, I guess.
:wave:

I cannot tell, Klickteryx, haven't been there often. For me it is just that the city walls remind me so much of Steck, that many Nuremberg houses look like Playmobil's timber-framed medieval buildings, and especially the fact that the coat of arms of Playmobil Nuremberg Guards (https://www.playmobil.de/stadtsoeldner/3482-A.html) is plastered all over the town (https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=N%C3%BCrnberg). To top it off, the legendary 1979 Color set Kaufmannszug (https://www.playmobil.de/kaufmannszug/3660-A.html) is based on an early 20th century mural (https://www.google.com/maps/place/N%C3%BCrnberger+Kaufmannszug/@49.452255,11.0745777,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x479f57003cb98149:0x6477be6b1616ed74!8m2!3d49.4546089!4d11.0767825!16s%2Fg%2F11vjx3hgyf?entry=ttu) in the city. For a playmobil fan all quite enjoyable!

Yes, plans changed... I am doubtful about the may date now... but still an option... especially if joint travel would be possible ;)
(we should maybe move this to a private area of pf..)
