fair enough, we can have our own playmofriends meeting.

if theres bad rumors going around about you, perhaps it might help to dispell them? Might be good if we know your side of the story in case any of us runs into those people.


Only thing I heard is that someone I've travelled with not so long ago has some issues about my personality, but I don't know for sure if this person has talked about specifics with others, but I've a gutfeeling it has been the case. I won't claim it is so, like I said it is suspicion I have (but experience has taught me to believe what my little toe tells me).
I notice that people, especially from the Belgian side of the BE/NL-collector's community, often look at me or disregard me in a specific way, even on the moment I meet them for the very first time and when they are well acquainted with the someone referred to above.
I myself often have "issues" too about other people's personalities - friends and family included - but I try to see the positive sides of characters/personalities, and not to focus on a few things that might irritate me occasionally.


About a "Playmofriends"-BE/NL-meeting on "our" own: most here are Dutch, and only a very few Belgian (active participating members at least, not the lurkers)

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Dear playmofriends,

I am very shocked with what I read here, I can simply not believe that some of the few playmo enthusiasts that we have are rejected in some way or another... I do not deny that it could be possible though...

I have been to 2 of the latest playmo meetings in the south of the Netherlands, and have recently been added to the facebook group. Personally I believe that a lot of members (also myself) have somewhat lost their old habits of forum use.. Last time I visited playmofriends was at least a few months ago. I do only watch pictures on klickywelt occasionally, and more recently I used PCC for the first time.

The group I met on the two meets are very diverse and as I think of it very open for everyone... I hope and believe that the situation now has evolved in innocence, I know the person who initiated the meets and he asked only people he knew by mail, and the group grew mouth to mouth a little bigger..

I will forward this to him, and I will hope we will also announce these meets on the forums we have.. we simply did not think about it, or felt we had no time.

I live in Aachen, so maybe I could go to a meeting in Netherlands.
It's been long time since I don't speak with fans of Playmobil face to face  :-[

Like I said before, there are collectors all around in NL and BE (as I discover on other forums, FB, at organisations, hear about them from playmo-sellers, etc.),  but they often seem to hide in some way or another.
Maybe laying some bait or setting up a booby- playmo-trap might help to get them out of the dark...  ;D

Will there be sellers and diorama's as well? I can't seem to find any information on it, but I did find the website for the meeting (http://www.playmobelgico.be/index.htm).

Since it's not even two weeks after the Factory tour in Zirndorf, I'm not entirely sure I will be able to convince Dimitris to go to Seneffe, but if it's a fair with sellers I might just have to persuade him  :)

It's a real shame that these things don't regularly get announced at the pcc. It's the perfect platform for it.
