Bill this is exactly what I had in mind!!!

@ Giorginetto: Putting the ad at playmobill Hellas is also a brilliant idea...but I am reluctant as to how many real collectors trully visit ds there a lot. I might be wrong, and sure hope so that I am!

Not as much as you think, Giorginetto ;)! Remember how many parent/collectors are hiding behind the quote "it's for my children" until they find out there are many others who say like I have "my name is Bill Blackhurst, & I'm a Playmobil addict" & become free from their fear of isolation :love:! They may be dragging their children to Playmobil Hellas to fulfill their own addictions to which you will be giving them a refuge to pursue a fellowship with other closet collectors :lol: like ourselves! Consider it a possible public service :yup:!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

It's my "opinion"..... that people other than the ones collecting, consider these items toys, & that they are for children not adults. This causes the adult collector to hide their obsession & keep them out of sight so they are not made to feel there is something wrong with their hobby.

I know the feeling...but hey! I would advise these people to go up and say what their hobby is! Like I do in toy stores: ''is is for a present sir?'' ''Nope, it is for me!!!!!!" ;D ;D ;D ;D

Very true! But in the past when I question adults about their Playmobil purchases at toy stores, they say they hunt deer, own a bass boat & enjoy fishing, like to ski, snow board, enjoy camping,...etc. I've never had a grown man admit to collecting Strawberry Shortcake memorabilia as a hobby, even though they just might ;)!

When I was in the UK I used to buy lots of Playmo sets ( still do  :lol: :lol:) and very often used to visit Toys R Us in Woking. Remember i used to fill trolleys with blue boxes and was pretty much proud of it... I think the previously mentioned comments are very valid however and thast easire said than done i think we ought to be proud of our hobby and collections which are harmless and very artistic  if you ask me  :)

Very pleased to see that Playmobil Hellas is now taking parts orders. I would like to think our meeting and my pressure to take such order and speaking to their marketing and PRE manager has helped . Get klicking boys !!!! i want to buy about 800 spare items, the list is enormous  :-[ :-[ :-[
