My very first set was (almost certainly) this Playpeople set, number 1730, and I probably received it for my 10th Birthday in 1976, or possibly as a Christmas present. I remember well these figures and their color combination, the canoe and cooking pots, buckets, ladle peace pipe.

The cowboy sitting on the right became my favorite, and I carried him around with me everywhere. I added some knights and some construction workers to my collection later, but the cowboys remained my favorite. As I was already closing on the "retirement" age of 12 by the time Playpeople hit the UK market, I never got much more, and never had any vehicles or buildings. My klickies were "donated" to my mother's school (she was a headmistress) without my knowledge while I was away at University. 

I like the way these early cowboys were made!!! Arms different colour from body and legs...This way seemed that the cowboy was actually wearing a vest!!!

My mom surprised me and my brother with these two sets one day when we got home from school.

I think I was about 7 years old. She didn't know what she was starting!

Haha! I suspect she liked them for herself, and buying them for you was just an excuse!

[bonniebeth]

Yes, that is definitely true! She's always loved playmobil, too, and she's starting to collect the romans and egyptians herself now!

Hi,

Nice thread -- a chance to wander down memory lane. And promptly get lost...

Anyway, I can't remember exactly which set was the first one I got, but I'm pretty sure I had the American (Schaper) versions of 3242, 3243, 3244 and 3251. I also had a set of cowboys, but I don't think it was 3241 (I remember thinking I would have liked the Mexican with the sombrero and poncho, but I never had one).

Subsequently I got 3542, 3544 and 3546. And there were some firemen in there was well.

I still have them, and I put up some pictures of them here: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=3390.0

Cheers,

AndrewL

I'm a playmo noob compared to all of you. The first set I got was the 5863 castle superset about a year ago. Its been all downhill for my bank account since then.
