Good topic Alex!!!

Mine was 3236x - Fire Truck #6 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3236x)

It was in kindergarden early 1980's...Christmas time and, as I've learned much much later, the teachers asked parents to get  a christmas present for their children. They would stage a party and then ''santa claus'' would give them their presents!!!

I was given this great fire engine!!!! Was so happy!!! (after that Gordon would think...where did this boy go wrong? His first playmobil is a fire engine and he turns to knights?  :lol: :lol: :lol:)

But my happiness lasted for a few seconds as my best friend got 3536 - Space Station (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3536) I was so envious!!! But the next day i was given a 3234x - Fire Fighter Crew (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3234x)! A single fire fighter could not make much of a difference, my father said back then...

Years have past and the fire engine was given to my niece and nephew, as my parents were trying to make me get over childhood... But I could never forget of my friend getting the space station.... when DS reissued the fire engine 7786 - Fire Engine (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=7786) I was so happy to get it again!!!

Oh, I also got a space station last year from antex (which is good quality btw)... But it was not a great match against the happy hours of playing with the fire engine!!!

This is a goodtopic also Alex!

My first playmobil set was 3189!  http://playmodb.org/setpics/3189.jpg

I had got my first playmobil on Christmas!  This had been my only playmobil until I got 3258 motorhome! http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3258.htm  Then I grew up and my collection started growing.

These were my only two playmobils, but I had some many hours of fun.

Mine where the first edition construction workers, in the little black cardboard boxes with the clear sleeve around them. I had the flu and was home from school. 1974 it must have been.

Hello

To tell you the truth I can not even remember what the last set I bought was let alone the first set I had a few years ago  8} I am amazed at some of your memory capabilities . I seem to only think about all the sets I do not have but I sure need them :lol:

(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd97/Martin_Milner/Playpeople/1730_cowboys_superset.jpg)

My very first set was (almost certainly) this Playpeople set, number 1730, and I probably received it for my 10th Birthday in 1976, or possibly as a Christmas present. I remember well these figures and their color combination, the canoe and cooking pots, buckets, ladle peace pipe.

The cowboy sitting on the right became my favorite, and I carried him around with me everywhere. I added some knights and some construction workers to my collection later, but the cowboys remained my favorite. As I was already closing on the "retirement" age of 12 by the time Playpeople hit the UK market, I never got much more, and never had any vehicles or buildings. My klickies were "donated" to my mother's school (she was a headmistress) without my knowledge while I was away at University. 


 

Many thanks to Julie (Gyps on PF) and Richard for saving all the Playpeople set pictures here (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2576.0)

I like the way these early cowboys were made!!! Arms different colour from body and legs...This way seemed that the cowboy was actually wearing a vest!!!

Haha! I suspect she liked them for herself, and buying them for you was just an excuse!

Yes, that is definitely true! She's always loved playmobil, too, and she's starting to collect the romans and egyptians herself now!

Hi,

Nice thread -- a chance to wander down memory lane. And promptly get lost...

Anyway, I can't remember exactly which set was the first one I got, but I'm pretty sure I had the American (Schaper) versions of 3242, 3243, 3244 and 3251. I also had a set of cowboys, but I don't think it was 3241 (I remember thinking I would have liked the Mexican with the sombrero and poncho, but I never had one).

Subsequently I got 3542, 3544 and 3546. And there were some firemen in there was well.

I still have them, and I put up some pictures of them here: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=3390.0

Cheers,

AndrewL
