I can't adjust the vote counts to reflect how you really wanted to vote, so I've temporarily edited the poll so that you can remove your vote.

You should be able to start again and vote for all three themes this time. :)



Thank you Sylvia, that has done the trick.

Yep! I voted a few days ago when I first saw the poll. :yup:

Victorian was my first choice because it's the theme I first fell in love with and the one which helped fully open my eyes to this amazing line of toys.

My other choices were the Knights and Fairytale/Magic themes. Probably heavily influenced by my unrealistically romantic view of gallant knights and beautiful princesses ::) ... plus I absolutely adore the cute gnome sets. ;)

INCREDIBLE !!!

Sylvia, our top three were identical! The only difference was the order. I voted for Victorian as number one; Fairytale/Magic as number two; and, Knights and Castles as number three.

Looks like we're both incurable romantics ... ;) ...  :love:

I tried to make my decision on which themes I miss (or would miss) the most. And, of course, I miss the Victorian theme tremendously ... :'(

The Fairytale/Magic themes have continued to expand ... :yippee:

The Knights theme has also continued to expand ... :yippee:
(Although, i sorely miss the old castle/framehouse building Steck-System!) ... :'(

I would really, really miss the Pirates theme!

I also miss the original "electric" Trains a lot ...  :'(

I already miss the Vikings and will no doubt miss the Romans when they are discontinued.

I miss: the the Western theme (with the US Cavalry fort, the western town and the Indian camp; the Jungle natives theme; the Safari Arab theme; the Northwest Mountie theme; and, the Eskimo theme.

Finally, I miss the Space and Alien themes.

It appears that I really like ALL of Playmobil's historical and fantasy sets ... ;)

Thanks, Cachalote, for posting such a fun poll!

All the best,
Richard

Hm, with my votes "modern city life", "construction, city services & harbor", and "firemen, rescue & hospital" it seems that I'll become a minority here ... maybe that's the wrong place for me  :hmm:  :P

Agh,  :hissyfit: there is also an animal section there :doh: I think I would have voted for this instead of firemen et.al. (just got irritated by the leading farm term and must admit that I totally overlooked it).

It's not too late to change it.

It certainly is a hard choice so I have gone to my all time favourite which is the trains (had 3 waggons delivered this morning via eBay) second was for the construction but only because the harbour section is included and a strange third but I went for the Victorian Dolls House. I haven't bought anything in this range as of yet but find it quite beautiful and am very tempted to start collecting this range. Just not too sure how I will explain to my wife that I want to play with a dolls house - Craig

I've gone for:

1) romans

and victorian and pirates competing for 2nd and 3rd places... Both deliver essential parts for making soldiers...

Hi All,

I love the idea of this poll.

Not to be a dolt, but would you classify the forest theme along with "farm and animals".  I'd hate to lump my natural creatures (foxes, skunks) along with the domesticated ones (horses & pigs) if there was another option.  But I understand the need to keep the poll simple.

But for the record, none of my animals are caged! :-*
