Title: Hello to everyone
Post by: GrahamB on January 21, 2012, 20:19:41: Hi, I am new to Playmofriends, I am based in the UK.
My children, my wife and I have been fans of Playmobil since 1993 when we got our first set- 3495 (hospital room). Since then, we have added to our collection as well as our family several times. With our youngest child aged 6, we are still acquiring Playmobil for the children (latest set was 5014, dinosaurs), and my wife and I have become keen collectors too and have been doing the ebay thing, acquiring several 'job lots' to sort as well as trying to replace those bits which have been eaten by the vacuum cleaner over the years!
I have found Heather Patey's PlaymoDB a fantastic resource for tracking down sets and parts. I hope to be able to help fellow enthusiasts by contributing to discussions on this forum in the future, as well as posting some queries of my own.

Welcome, welcome. You sound just like me, and I'll second that comment about PlaymoDB. I have just spent the best part of two days up in the loft with the spares I ordered before Christmas and didn't have time to do anything with!!! If you are wondering about the forum name, it's because I have a huge hidden stash of Playmobil in the loft (mostly job lots from EBay which used to have bits missing) of which my six year old son knows very little (he knows it's there, that's all!!!)

You'll find your passion for Playmobil becomes an out and out addiction now that you have joined Playmofriends. Have fun :)

Now I am sure your son has Playmobil he can get his hands on! We too have an attic room with playmobil in it and when from time to time I bring some down to sort one of my children invariably says "I never knew you could get Playmobil [dinosaurs/whales/badgers/whatever]". Bless 'em- its all they can do to keep their hands off some bits I'm half way through sorting!
