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.

mine was awesome... 'cause the 1st time we had Playmobils at home was when a neighbour gave us his 2 daugthers' Klickies... ;D 8}
it was kindda... 4 banana boxes ... there were klickies from the very beginning in the seventies, and the last one was the igloo :) it was a real dream :)

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:

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

I'm a playmo noob compared to all of you. The first set I got was the 5863 castle superset about a year ago. Its been all downhill for my bank account since then. :)
