Hello all
what a great year this has been for the greek playmobil fans. With the great help of Mrs Effraimidi a dream has come true and we get DS orders now . Already Wolf Knight ( and i am sure Grangel also ) has placed a massive order and i will be putting mine also. Also Playmobil hellas is featuring our creations in their facebook web site and the first was Giorginettos' medieval set up progress. Playmobil only a few days ago asked us to get together and put a diorama in one of the secure displays for their funpark . we need to work on this and start working soon as August is a month most of us will be away, I plan to be anayways. So we need to come together agree the theme, agree who will bring what and then the actual display set up . Please note that I am seeing Mrs Effraimidi in the next few days to give her a battle of fine champagne as a token of our thanks for the DS service which he tried hard to get for us as far as i know. I shall tell her of our next meeting then and give her some info as to how we shall organise this. If somebody else wants to be the contact person with playmobil lets discuss this in our meeting , i have no problem to continue the contact with them ( my house is only 10min from their office/ funpark after all ) but only if everyone agrees to it , we are the land of democracy here after all :lol: :lol:
I propose we meet on May 28th, either at the Playmobil Hellas Funpark OR we can have our meeting at Corinth City where you can all visit my den first see my work in progress ( i doubt it will be finished :lol: :lol: :lol:) and then we can have our meeting at a very good friend of mine's coffee place ( on the same road where my house and den is there - only 5min walk ) and perhaps if we all feel like it have some food also, Corinth is famous for its souvlaki !!!! - and i know all the right places there for food and coffee !!! ;).... Either way i think end of May is a good time for our meeting.
Proposed Agenda
(1) Updates from all on DS orders and Playmobil Hellas webite host of collector's pictures
(2) Possible trading between members ( just thought of it )
(3) Selection of person to contact playmobil regarding the diorama and other issues - so far i have taken the liberty abd its been me for the DS and the diorama / website pictures hosting etc
(3) Selection of Theme for the September Diorama for Playmobil Greece ( Critical !!!)
(4) Agree IN detail who will bring what , exact items , quantities
(5) Agree a date for our next meeting where we will discuss ideas, proposed set up and then set it up ( it will have to be in July i propose)- before this meeting i will talk to mrs Effraimidi to arrange possible dates we ca do this meeting at their premised and then the actual setting up on their secure display enclosure at their warehouse which is 5min from playmobil greece funpark at Kiffisia. This meeting will have to start very early i think on that day and allow no less that 8 hours to set it all up !!!
Any additions/ suggestions etc etc lets discuss them here. I am really really pleased how things are progressing in greece and i hope we make a more organized greek club with more interactions with playmobil ,( all this to be discussed i suggest after the september diorama) which i think should be our goal for 2012 . I awaiting for the feedabck especailly of those who will participate , if we have this meeting in Athens, we can always have another date for the greek members to visit my den !!!!!!
I really really look forward to our display at Playmobil funpark and if needed i will buy rare/missing sets for it , i cant think of a better excuse to buy them after all !!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeap, expecting my first DS order of spare parts any time this week... ;D And once it arrives, I have already completed my next list of spare parts to submit....
Very good proposal and very well organised agenda! Since I live and Thessaloniki and difficult for me to be in Athens Funpark every day :( :( :( its a good idea, and I'd be happy you do so, that you keep up being our contact with playmobil George!
I agree to the western diorama idea and have lots of items to contribute!
Visit Corinth is also a great idea and thank you for the invitation, but I think if we get there, we may drift away from the topics we need to discuss and concentrate more on playing with your playmobil :lol: :lol: :lol: We could do so at another date, or the following day, after the meeting in the funpark.
May 28th is a good date, I think Angelo has a trip coming really soon and not sure if this date suits him, but on my behalf I am able to come to Athens any date, except the first week of May.
-
It fine with me.May it is difficult for me because i will travel to Germany and i have also my son's baptism but i think that i can meet you on 28th of May.Only the Saturday is free for me not the Sunday.You can lead the way in those meetings and if you want my help i would be glad to help you.Athens Funpark is a good meeting place.
I had given my order also but it was a little bit huge.i have asked for more than 2000 pieces!
It was my first i should be generous to myself.
-
Athens it is the, at the playmobil fun park. I suggest give there will be plenty to discuss we can go to a nearby place to eat something also or we can spent all the time at the funpark , I am cool both ways but like the idea to talk about the set up also while eating etc and after we spent some time at the playmo fun park !!!
Look forward to out meeting !!!!

Update : I had a meeting with Mrs Effraimidi yesterday. She was very pleased with the little present i gave her as a small token of thanks for the DS service and generally the support she has given us Greek collectors ( fyi it was a bottle of vintage champagne ) . She is very pleased and excited ( she is a big playmo fan for sure !!!! ) that the greek collectors will set up a diorama at playmobil greece with their parts and items and thought the western theme would be a great idea given its not available and is mostly collectors items . She was also very pleased that a western train will be used , a set she told me always thought was on of the 'best ' playmobil created. She will be in our meeting on Sunday 29th May at 11am and I confirmed the names of the three collectors that will participate. Apologies to other Greek collectors that may have wished to participate , you can but next year now , as the participants for this year will be Me, Wolf Knight and Grangel . And I believe and suggest that each year around Sep we should make a Diorama us Greek collectors for Playmobil somethign i will personally endeavour to do each year as far as I am concerned . So otehr Greek collectors can participate next year !!!
So Sir Wolf and Grangel , please take note of the above we are the agreed team for Greek Collector's Diorama#1 and i look forward to our meeting . PLease note that Mrs Efrraimidi agreed we shoudl set it all up in late July before the August holidays and Playmobil summer shutdown , i think in our meeting once we agree the theme ( Western probably now ??) we agree who brings what and perhaps even agree a preliminary layout and then in an agreed July day we brig and set everything up !!!! Excellent stuff I am really excited !!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I am afraid thats not sometning at least me I can do .... i dont want to transport my mediaval army etc etc from one city to another.... people are more welcomed to come help me set up my battles with my own stuff and/or bring their klickies and have a battle at my den, but i am not putting on public display or anywhere outside my own premises by most precious playmo collection... i can do with the western train and the confederate army i will hopefully set up but thats about it ... :) :) :) :) :) :)

Good, i will bring all of your stuff Panos, i packed it yesterday , make sur eyou have space in you car sire ;)
I think i will buy some confederates for the diorama, some other western klickies and sets and maybe some more black lions !!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
Given that we wil go for a western diorama we need to decide who bring what and at what quantities and set up a general preliminary layout plan. Provided its possible we can have a look at the table ( i have sent a pic and dimesnions anyways ) and most important of all agree the day we meet very early to bring our stuff, set it all up and ready for the september diorama, i have some concerns as to what happens if we set it in their warehouse and then has to be moved to the funpark etc etc but we shall discuss all this on Sunday . By the way we can all grab something to eat at Kifisia . Gourounakia ( Porky's ) is one of the best steak houses in the area and we could continue our meetign while eating.... just an idea ... ;) ;) ;)

Its was a bit strange for all the parents there to see us chasing around one another with the playmobil swords and shields but it was fun indeed :lol:
The diorama will be set where the big klicky princess is standing in the third picture!

:lol: Just a bunch of big kids! I wouldn't think that was strange at all if I saw it, my brother and my husband would certainly be in there swordfighting. :lol:
