PS we have a small section of the Terracotta Army visiting London at present and I cant help but think it would be great to see a few customs in that line.

That's a really good idea.  Either a Chinese theme set in Jin times with those guys as actual people, or even a modern theme with those guys spray-painted "terracotta" and in a museum for klickies.

Hello, Tim ...

And, a BIG welcome from the beautiful and friendly island of St. Thomas in the warm and sunny United States Virgin Islands!

All the best,
Richard

Hi Tim, SirTurk, and welcome from another Missourian.  On Playmoboard, I am known as 'da Hugh'.

In November, I will be displaying some of my Playmobil at the Tesson Ferry Library.  It will be there all month.

Hi Richard that's pretty cool--I mean warm!--that you live in the Virgin Islands.  Can you buy from Playmobil USA and other US shops for US shipping prices?

Hi Donmobil,

I'll stop by the Tesson Ferry Library.  Are you still considering organizing a St Louis Playmobil club?

Hello, Tim ...

Yes, I can order from Playmobil USA!
(However, they will only ship Express. So, it can get expensive.)

I have posted some stories about another "Tim" here at Playmofriends.

The other "Tim" is Tim Dawkins, a Playmobil pirate that wanders around St. Thomas.
Click HERE to see the trouble that he got into with an iguana! ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

Those pics look really good.  Is that from your place, right on the bay / ocean?  Maybe the next Playmobil convention can be at your place!

The iguana looks good with the klickie.

Hello, Tim ...

The "Tim Dawkins story" was photographed all over the island of St. Thomas.

I've attached a picture of the view from our house which overlooks the harbour and the town of Charlotte Amalie.

And, yes we would love to host the next Playmobil Convention!
(Hmmm ... Wonder how many Playmobil collectors would come all the way to the US Virgin Islands for a convention?) ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

Hi, Richard, check out the million dollar view from my home in Hyperborea.

If you want to have a convention at your house, believe me, people will find a way to make it.

Ah ... Hyperborea! I have always wondered where it was (I never suspected that it was in Missouri ... I wonder if Pliny knew?) ... ;)

Joking aside ... I just wanted to thank you, Tim, for your active participation here at Playmofriends! I am enjoying your posts, your sense of humour and most of all your creative and thought-provoking topics.

Thanks again. I'm having lots of fun and hope that everyone else is too!

All the best,
Richard

Tim, I have my display up at the Tesson Ferry Library at about I21 and South Lindburgh.  I do not know if there is enough interest in St. Louis for a club, but I would certainly like to get together.
