I think I can remember you from the early years of playmoboard because you joined around the same time as me ("krystal") when there were fewer members there. Or maybe I have you confused with another David in BC? 
Yes, Sylvia, I was over at playmoboard (as Dragonknight) starting back around 2002 - and I remember you as a major contributor there way back then. I still check in at playmoboard to see what's new... but I've since joined klickywelt so I can see the newest sets right away! I hope to post here more often than I did over there... just over 400 posts in 7 years!
Hi Gus: I think the ghost pirates look fun but I won't be buying any of them (well, maybe the crab set!). I too don't have problems with geobra making fantasy ones... as long as they are ones that I like!
Yes, it's great to have a supportive partner... she is also the one who pushed me to buy my first larger set (up until then I was only collecting specials and small sets)... she/I got the magic temple (3841 dragon's temple) and getting the large castle (3666) was my next big step (or did she push me on that one too?). So now I have many larger sets - so many now that I've had to stop and only get what I really really like... especially since the newest ones can't be disassembled very easily - or at all (like the lighthouse). Not like the good old steck sets.
Now I am sounding like an old timer collector!
