Hello from the Pacific Northwest :-)

[Tiermann]

Welcome from the warm south - Oregon!
I was in Seattle last October for a dance but rarely get that far North. When I was younger we visited a relative at the Coast Guard station at Neah Bay Washington - its on the very tip of the Olympic peninsula. So far away from cities you could see more stars than I had ever seen before.

That's right Martin, it's a 3 hour drive west from Seattle, but alot of that is driving down around the Puget Sound. It's still another hour and a half due west driving to get to the ocean from where I live though. I'm on a peninsula so I get to see water on three sides and then mountains. It's a beautiful area. If you're interested in seeing what it looks like, run a search on Port Townsend, Washington's Victorian Seaport.

98% of my Playmobil purchases come from Ebay and Ridge Road Station. The rest is in Seattle.

Hi gloobey,

Welcome to Playmofriends.

I also got in to Playmobil after buying my son the Refuse truck 3780 nearly 9 years ago now. He Stopped playing with it when he got his PS1 a few years later but I just kept on collecting it.

Garry.

Thanks Sir Gareth!

My son discovered Pokemon and Gameboy, along with LEGO. Now the Playmobil is pretty much mine to do with as I please. He still plays with the animals from Palymobil. They seem to be a big hit with him amd his friends (all age 7 or 8).
