Title: Hi from Midlands, UK
Post by: maccalenny on June 24, 2011, 20:36:42: Hi, justjoined today, so a quick intro. I loved playmobil as a child - 1978 onwards, age 6+. I had hospital, indian, circus, firemen, farm, knights, family car, possibly a tractor. My pride and joy was a cardboard playmobil castle I won in a colouring competition. But sadly all childhood toys have long since disappeared, and i hadn't thought about playmobil till my kids got to the right age for it. So now I have to persuade my daughter that she really likes whichever bits I've fallen for, so I can buy them for her! But I most enjoy looking at the old catalogues etc to remember my old collection.

That cardboard castle you mention would have been the one made by Marx toys for Playpeople (quite a rarity now!) and I'd guess the rest were Playpeople too!
