:lol: but you have a point....
Are the prices shop-like or are the lower?
Not like I am going to buy some, just for the record... (Yeah, right! :lol:)

Post by: Lynx on October 11, 2012, 08:47:39: Actually, I don't know.. it will be the first Playmobil fair I visit. They will sell second hand as well and that means the prices
should be lower.. In case of rare and old items they could even be higher, unless the seller is ingnorant and doesn't know the true value of his stuff..

Don't be ashamed! You're just mature enough to have interests and hobbies that make you happy in spite of what others think, which is difficult as a teenager. By the time you're in your early 20s, it becomes ok to be an individual again. ;) There's people in their 60s and 70s here who play with playmobil, so you're never too old.

Post by: Birdie on October 14, 2012, 06:41:04: It was great!!
I bought the safari house (3433) to use in my zoo - all I need now is time and space to set it up... If I could just buy some of that ;D

edit: this is a picture of what I found:

Thank you so much for bringing it up, Lynx, we never would have known about it otherwise.

@ Playmozoo: never mind the children, nobody pays attention to who you are or what age you are. There were plenty of collectors and the sellers and people who set up the diorama's are 'kindred spirits' anyway :) They were very helpful!
Prices vary but there are always nice bargains to be found and spare parts/ seperate parts are very affordable.

Post by: Rasputin on October 16, 2012, 20:12:59: Thank you very much for the additional pictures of the event Lynx :wave:

They all look great and a lot of work went into them all

That WW2 cafe looks so relaxing of a place to have a snack and tea :lol: I do not have all the modern cafe sets yet but was wondering if the weighter tray he is holding above his head is stock or a custom, it a neat idea and very realistic especially with the wine on it
Title: Re: Playmobil fair 13 and 14 october 2012 Heerde, Holland
Post by: tahra on October 17, 2012, 07:23:17: I really like the holster (sp?) on the statue.. I'd need to do something like that for a custom I have in mind.. There is no holster for those modern pistols, right?
Title: Re: Playmobil fair 13 and 14 october 2012 Heerde, Holland
Post by: Hallensis on October 17, 2012, 11:59:33: The egyptian theme is great ! The cafe in the WW II looks like the one from the TV serie 'Allo ! Allo !' I can hear the police man already : 'Good meurning' ;D

Post by: Rhalius on October 21, 2012, 09:12:54: Egyptian display looks great, and while the WW2 customs are well made, I simply am not fond of seeing clickies like that.

Exactly what we were thinking when we saw that - I'm guessing the 'designer' went for that look :)
