As things and traffic go as planned, Brubil and I will be arriving around noon or short after.
I'll be wearing the PCC-belt with keychain-pirate and my avatar.  ;)

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

@ Hadoque: We didn't see you guys - no surprise there, since there were so many people!

Well, it was very crowded and I got pushed aside a lot  :-[ But the diorama's were awesome and there were plenty of sellers!

Unfortunately, I forgot to put the battery back into my photo camera, so no pictures.  :doh:

The palace of Versailles (as shown in another thread) was there: incredible!!
There was also a Northpole Santa village (with workshop and lots of helpers  :love:), a historical scene from World War One (a French town on one side, a river with bridge and a German town on the other), a giant sea with three custom ships and a sea battle (pretty gruesome: sharks eating clickies, not a pretty sight!), the mother of all circusses, a very cool modern diorama (street with shops and a church, seaside, cafĂ©...), a modern farm (with a shed to milk the cows mechanically) and an alien invasion through a sort of worm hole (Egyptians running for their lives on one side, alien base on the other: ingenious!).

Let's hope other people will post photo's soon  :prays:

I found some great additions to my collection. I'm very excited about the Victorian flower market, photographer and painter, as they have been on my wish-list ever since they first appeared.
The western houses were irresistable (I seem to be wanting a house for every clicky family I have) .



And then there was the kiosk (not complete as a set, but the kiosk itself is in good condition) for a very good price.

 

Now my wallet will have to stay firmly closed for all things playmo for a while...

And the winner is......

Santa's workshop, gold medal diorama. Best atmosphere.

Alien invasion of ancient Egypt, funky medal, for crossing mental borders.


(Anybody else got pictures of the dioramas?)

My loot



The market stand.
The stable.
The Egyptian house. (I'm missing the small plastic rope for the well though)
The sphinx.
The two horse chariots (Egyptian one, gold-blue one).
And a whole bunch of figures.


Never spend this much on Playmobil before. I think it got to me now. :uhoh:
Mix of guilt & glad I got something to work with for Ancient scenes.

It was a very nice exposition , with lots of people , sellers & Diorama's .
The World War 1 was fantastic , really nice , lots of details .
The Circus was out of this world , there were like a 100 trucks , Also the Big Arena was crazy .
The other Circus / City life was pritty nice , some very good details in there .
Santa's place was very good , inside the place with a lot of elfs helping Santa for 25 December .
Space Invasion was crazy , it's something so different ( alien's & Egyptians ) but it worked of perfect really was impressed with that .
The System-X farm was very nice .
The Big Ben in the first convention room , that was nice , very big , also the other's in that room where pritty nice .
Versailles , what can i say about that ? It's like a 1/25 scale or something i think , the only thing missing is a lot of clikies , but very very nice .

I didnt see any of you PlaymoFriends there , i was wearing a red sweater , so maybe you see me , but i didnt see you .

Sounds like you all had a wonderful time, what a great experience for you!  Love all the loot you picked up.  Birdie I have never seen that Kiosk before, very cool.  Dimitris, everything goes together so well.  Great choices!  Can't wait to see your pictures, PlaymoFrankJon.
