@ all PF:


I opened this thread thinking, and hoping, it would encourage everyone -or at least a few- to leave their best wishes for our beloved brand and clickies
.
Of course no one is obliged to do so or even use THIS specific thread, but it's sad, at least to me, in comparison, to see that threads with complaints about the PCC or the way Playmobil is going, are from 2 to 16 pages long.

Is there nothing to celebrate?

Friendly, tonguello.  :wave:

Beautiful image, Gaston, and I agree we should be celebrating not complaining right now. I think it's amazing how far they have come in 40 years. Looking forward to the next 40!

                          :confetti: :confetti:  Happy 40th anniversary to Playmobil!!! :confetti: :confetti:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

 <:D Playmobil!

I hope we also celebrate our eightiest birthday together!

I like your picture Tonguello!

In dutch we have a saying 'Als de boeren niet meer klagen, nadert het einde der dagen' which means something like 'When people stop complaining the end of the world is soon to come'.


But it is a good thing to make a positive note sometimes!
life in plastic it's fantastic

I see your point, and you are absolutely right!

I think there is no argument that we are all fans here. I mean, we're on a playmobil board, arguing (somewhat heatly at times) about stuff coming out and colors and molds and whatever... We wouldn't if we didn't care.

To me, that we love the stuff is beyond saying. Like I said on one of my reviews - there are only so many ways of saying GREAT! So I suppose I'm not the only one who tends to point out the exceptions - the less nice, the not so perfect.

It's hard to believe it's around for FORTY YEARS. Gods. And ALWAYS amazing. Not an easy feat, I'd say. And if some changes we like less than others, on the whole.... it is still the BEST IN THE WORLD  :love:

So..

 :confetti: :confetti: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, playmobil, and here's to 400 more!   :confetti: :confetti:
