Title: Hello from Germany
Post by: SKlick on September 22, 2015, 18:02:37

Hallo.

I was born and raised in the eastern part of Germany where Playmobil wasn't available to the general public. Instead, I grew up playing with a handful of Igracek figures and the East German alternative of which I don't even remember who made it.

My first Playmobil was a surprise gift that I got from my mom. It was set number 3300:

Nowadays I own more than 10 Playmobil trains, at least 25 Steck houses, a trawler Susanne and a few other things.

However, I do not just collect Playmobil. I also have a pretty decent LEGO and videogame collection. All the things I couldn't have when I was a kid.  :lol:

Hello from NZ

Looks like you have a great garden railway there.

Thanks.  :)

Setting up the track took me a few hours but it was worth it even though I ended up with a nice sunburn on my back. However, I plan to sell my RC track and switch to brass.

I plan to share lots of pictures and videos of my Playmobil, LEGO and videogame collections.
Here's a quick teaser that I just made. Klick on the picture. It's the link to the YouTube video:

(Embedding doesn't seem to work for me.)

Is that green lady a factory mistake? She has the impressions for the glasses but no actual frames.

I think they have worn off over the years.

I find that unlikely, unless she had some sort of accident....

Well, she's in the basement somewhere. I'll try to take better pictures when I find her.

I did not yet unbox the things that I brought with me when I went on vacation:

Thanks. The toys are what keeps me sane and calms me down after a stressful day at work.
