Hello from Mississippi
« on: August 05, 2008, 15:19:49 »
Hi there,

I am a mid-thirties mother of two and I have a growing fascination with Playmobil.  I am new to collecting, and mostly buy for my children (I swear).  I like all of the themes, but my favorites are Knights (steck because they are more aesthetically pleasing to me) and the Modern city line.  My Playmo dream would be to have both a modern city street with all of the systemX city buildings and its counterparts in both the medieval(which will be much harder) and Victorian(which will be much more expensive).  I could make a "playmobil through the ages" diorama . . . and from reading some of the posts here I can tell that yall won't think I'm crazy. 

I am glad to meet all of you and am happy to be able to discuss Playmo with others who love it too.

Kelly

Welcome Kelly, good to see you here, I think you'll enjoy the community!

There are indeed Playmobil buildings that form a medieval street scene, with a Pottery, Bakery, Town hall etc, but they're not in production anymore, though I could have got them off eBay if I sold my own house to pay for them.

Playmobil still produce European Medieval style buildings available, though they are not cheap - I got the 7785 Red house & the 7145 white house & barn (much better value I felt) a few months ago, but haven't added to them or had room to set them up.

cheers,  Martin

Hi Kelly! :D

Welcome from the Scottish Highlands. :wave:

Your diorama idea sounds fascinating as well as very challenging. I'd love to see some photos if you ever get a chance to do something like this. Any pics of your collection will be very welcome, of course. 8-)

Hope to read a lot more from you around the forum. :)

Welcome to Playmofriends, Kelly!

You'll feel at home here. We love to talk about playmobil!

I'm very happy to come to meet fathers & mothers who went into the klickyworld because of their sons & daughters, because it's different from me, who went into them as a child myself. (Back in 1979 (@ age of 3), 1980 & '81 ...)

By the way, I'm Gustavo,
from Rio de Janeiro.

People here call me Gus ... which is how I use to sign my posts.

I hope you feel at home ...
Make of this place your home, and you'll feel so :)

See you around!

Gus

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest Kelly!  Welcome and be at home.

Have your children shown an interest yet or are you just 'priming the pump' as it were?
