Hi!
My name's Mina, and I am part Swiss and part Canadian, though I live in Switzerland now... My husband and I are Playmobil fans since we were kids but, as our parents gave everything to other children when we were teenagers (and we didn't agree on that!!!), we have re-begun collecting our favorite toys for 8 years now and our "batcave" is not big enough anymore ;D
we collect many many themes (in fact fast everything, except space, pirates, princess stuff) and I am especially fond of 1900 and zoo...
apart from that, I'm an English and French teacher (for adults), my husband's a cop. We like walking in the countryside, playing videogames, board games, watching animes-we-like-when-we-were-kids, and I love knitting, Harry Potter (only the books), Heavy Metal (yeah, I'm a gothic-metal freak with a 10 year-old mind 8} )... and... and... well I'm glad to meet you all :)

:doh: :hissyfit: An all-too-familiar story! Lucky that as supposed adults we have more money for our toys. ;D

Hello
Welcome to the forum from Sonoma County California. Interesting combination you have there. It seems like an odd match, 10 year old heavy metal goth freak married to a cop but then I bet it works great seeing as opposites do attract. My wife is a focused German and I am a crazy Russian and it's a match made in heaven :love: Great Avatar by the way :lol:

Hiya! :wave:
I am an anime fan too! ;D
My Mother convinced my Dad that I still liked these toys
And so I was able to keep them! :yippee:
Hope you enjoy your time here! :)

Hi Mina :wave:,
nice to meet you here as well.
Very impressive CV, by the way. So you're an E/F teacher as well ;D.
I worked as an assistant teacher in Morteau/Franche-Conté back in 19**, and I remember passing through Le Locle and La-Chaux-de-Fonds before taking the tunnel down to Neuchâtel on my way back to Bavaria.
Anyway, welcome to "Playmofriends". Enjoy this wonderful forum.

Hello and welcome from Louisiana! :wave:
We have a couple of things in common; my husband also shares my interest in Playmobil. And my main theme is the zoo theme and anything I can modify to make it a part of my zoo. I look forward to hearing more about your collection!

Welcome from South Carolina in the USA, Mina :wave:! It's great to have you with us!

thank you all for such a warm welcome :) I already feel at home here :)
for Rasputin: yeah, like you say, weird mixes work very well... and, as my husband and I have both a 10-year-old mind it works even better, even if people think we are mad ;) I'm currently trying to learn Russian as a 4th language, but it's really tough!!
Playmovictorian it's really great to see you again :) a too long time, really :)
Playmofool, my dear colleague, you should come and work here again, we could torture our students together ;) (and talk about Playmobils at lunchtime ;) )
Bonniebeth I'm really looking forward too see pictures of your zoo :) I love mixing things with this theme, it opens many opportunities of making something original
Really, I'm really glad I joined you all, and it's such a pleasure!!! :)
oh, by the way, I've added our blog in my signature... for those who are brave enough to read French ;) otherwise you can just have a look at the pictures ;) ... and we accept comments in every known language ;)
and: yes my avatar is Fifi Brindacier, Pipi Langstrumpf or Pippy longstocking :) the former webmaster of Playmoboys (a non-existing-anymore forum of Playmobil customization) made it for me, saying that my behaviour would show through it ;D
