Hello there :wave:
I'm Damo from Hertfordshire, UK.
I'm 16, and have had and loved Playmobil from a very young age. Nowadays I generally collect the older and rarer sets from most themes, my favourites being western, knights, and trains. People at school say i'm mad because I spend near enough all my money on Playmo, and not much on anything that kids my age do buy!
Hope to find my way around all of this wonderful site soon
Thanks for reading :)

Hello Damo! :wave:
I'm really glad you decided to join our forum! :D
I wouldn't be surprised if those kids who make remarks about your collection are secretly quite envious. I would keep on ignoring their comments, in any case. ;)
Even if you decide to sell it all one day (which I hope you don't!), you will get back all the money you paid and probably a bit more. Many of the sets become higher in value the longer you keep them due to them no longer being manufactured after a time.
So Playmobil is not only fun to play with, it's also a very sound investment. :)9

Welcome from the South Eastern USA, Damo! I applaud you for your independence regarding collecting Playmobil instead of Nintendo game cartridges, Wii addictive games, etc. to the point of developing the gamer thumb syndrome :)9! Some day when your peers are sitting in front of you with their thumbs in corrective casts not being able to clean themselves in the toilet, you can laugh & say "and just what happened to you?" & BTW, what's that smell? :lol:

All that money I wasted on junk that ended up in the city dump :'(. Glad you decided to join and please do contribute in anyway you can as this is the only way these communities work . Someday soon maybe you could show us you classic collection :camera:

Welcome, Damo, from Northern California! :wave:
Just ignore your friends who think you are mad. When I was your age, I collected comic books. You've got to collect something. If collecting Playmobil makes one mad, then so be it! Embrace the insanity! 8} A pox on the unbelievers!

Hi Flatcat :wave:
Warm welcome from sunny Arizona!
Best regards,

Hello, Flatcat ... :wave:
"Flatcat" conjures up all kinds of great images ... :lol: I like it ... ;D
When I was your age, I made and collected toy soldiers. My friends and family thought that I was nuts. They may have been correct, for I'm now a psychologist and a Playmobil addict ... 8}
All the best,
Richard

Flatcat is the name of my favourite soft toy that I have had since I was born - he was hand made and looks very thin! - hence the name :D

Belated Welcome Damo, from the Pacific Northwest!
My excuse for being late is that I had no computer when you joined, as my PC was packed for shipping to the US and I could monly borrow my wife's laptop occasionally.
Wish I'd stuck with Playmo when I was 16, I'd have some of the rarer sets that only Giorginetto seems to have!
cheers, Martin

Hi Damo, welcome from Scotland. My boys at 13 and 15 still play with Playmobil so you're not alone and like Sylvia said, it is an investment.

Welcome, Damo! I wish I had collected Playmobil during my teen years, as I would be much happier, and richer, now. You're never too old for Playmobil, so enjoy it.
