Title: Impression of Playmo-fair at Iserlohn
Post by: matchboxluc on October 29, 2006, 16:47:37

Hello there,

I've returned from my visit to the Playmo-fair at Iserlohn in Germany (near Dortmund) and it was very nice! 8-) German fairs are always very good, as you will see in the following pictures I've taken (I've placed them on Imageshack, so I can post them all at once):

the entrance:

near the entrance was a multi-story showcase with belle-epoque figures:

there were also some nice open dioramas, like horse stables:

a shipyard:

a magic forest:

and a western town:

Oh, and this is what I gathered: a MIB pirate set 3480, a MIB cattle set 3275, an Elisabeth or "Sissy" figure 6100 (I think it is a limited figure issued for a beneficiary action for the German heart center) and a sticker-story book "Blacky is moving" containing a story book and a sticker sheet with an "empty" belle epoque house in which they can be applied more than once.

All in all a day well spent! ;D

Thanks, Jean-Luc ...

Here in the States most of us can't imagine open boxes full of loose Klickys and parts. It's almost mind-boggling to think about having so much to be able to buy for customizing!

For me, it's probably good that I can only look at your excellent photographs. I'm afraid that if I were actually there, that I would spend so much money that I would have to end my retirement and go back to work ... ;)

All the best,
Richard
