I just finished counting my clickies. I counted only the "human-shaped" clikies (no animals, no robots)
I have exactly 664 :love: not counting the ones that are on their way, so I'll try to get to the 700 before Xmas. :love: Big celebration then!!!
How many do you have? :hmm:
-
This is fun.....I am going to count tomorrow. I know I have 50 that are "out and about" in my daughters playroom, they get counted every evening to make sure none ran away. I need to count what I have in their boxes still, I would estimate another 50 or so. Looks like I have some catching up to do Gaston :lol:
-
What a great topic! I was just wondering about this the other day! I'll have to make it a project to count them... it may take me a while!!!

What with your chairs and now counting you will have to skip sleep :)
-
:lol: Yeah, who needs sleep when there are playmo projects to work on? ;D
-
I have no way to get an accurate census of my Klicky population. I just know I have 110 of the grey uniformed firefighters with SCBA's & black New Yorker N5A helmets, because I counted them not too long ago. I'm probably in the thousands by now :-[.
-
Yeah, I've been contemplating the task... it won't be easy! I'll have to go through so many different stashes. And then some are currently disassembled, so I'll have to literally do a head count, just count how many heads there are in the parts boxes.
-
Scatch that 110 number, 'cause I forgot I have 8 more of that type on my firefighting ships, I give up I have no idea ;D.
-
We quit counting ages ago...
-
according to my database (which is outdated and only counts the clickies that I have in complete sets) I have 913 ...
-
well i thought i havent many.. but i bet i have a 5 digit number.. :lol
-
At the moment I'm owning 196 klicky's. A modest number. :wave:

It's not the number that counts. What counts is the amount of pleasure you get from it ;)
according to my database (which is outdated and only counts the clickies that I have in complete sets) I have 913 ...
I've updated the database ... the count is now 960
-
It will take a long time to count them... Last time I counted, they were around 4000 ....
-
wow! 4000 I can't even imagine so many clickies! :lol:
mike...5 digit number? That's a lot more the the guiness record..... SHOW US PICS!!!!!!!!!! ;D
mine were easy to count for I have them ALL displayed. :love: ( I haven't counted annonimous clickies who are not in caracter or in parts. I must have another 40 of those, anyway..they don't count)
-
I have been meaning to take another klicky census... the last complete one I did was almost 20 years ago... 8} we only had about 700 then... so i'm guessing the number is bigger now...
-
My spreadsheet says we have 235 klickies. . . Yes, I have a spreadsheet.
-
We had a database... once.
-
We had a database... once.
you gave up?
-
Should there be a distinction between stock & custom Klicky's? ???
-
not for me... :)
-
you gave up?
Yep. We couldn't keep up.. They used to have individual names and all... but we were over our heads. :(
-
It's not the number that counts. What counts is the amount of pleasure you get from it ;)
But still, I want more :-[ :-[
-
I have never counted them, must be around 3500 i think but not sure.... not enough .. not enough..... not enough .....
-

I think any clickys count. Even disassembled ones, IMO. I'm going to count the heads in my disassembled boxes. That seems the easiest way to know how many are in there.

That won't work for me. Some heads no longer have bodies to go to :omg:!

I've got catching up to do! I only have 484 klickys. I feel so.... normal. But I haven't counted the ones Chris has, so once we put the two collections together, we probably have close to 1000.

Oh no! that's not fair! :lol: you count as individuals :lol: :lol:
-
Yeah, but it's so complicated, trying to figure out what really belongs to who. I have klickys that are his, and he has ones that are mine. They are constantly going back and forth between us depending on who needs what at the moment, particularly the popped ones. So i think we have to just count it as one big collection. :-\

If around 500 is normal, then it would take some time for me to become a "totally mentally playmoholic", which is when you own
????? klicky's.
-
Oh no! that's not fair! :lol: you count as individuals :lol: :lol:
Foooul! :no:
Seriously? :hmm: I didn't think this was a contest. Why can't I say that I have 490 (I found six more), Chris has xxx and together we have xxx? ???
-
I have no idea how many I have. I have always wanted more. It seems I have more accessories (buildings, ships, castles, etc) than I have figures.
Well, maybe not more number wise, but more size wise.
I have noticed that figures on ebay sell for a lot more than Steck does. Mind you, it depends upon the figures - old non-printed ones sell for a "dime a dozen" while the printed bodies always command a premium.
As tempted as I am to count the ones I have to add to this list, I just don't have the time right now. :'(

-
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks playmogal, I shall print this list to keep track of my state of mind while buying more and more playmobil.
-
mmm ... that means that I am a First Outlier when I am counting only those that are in my database (and that's excluding the customs) and definitly a minor weirdo if I include all the customs or custom-parts.
well I am a minor weirdo anyway :lol:

Lol, Pgal! :lol:
Tonguello, I find it ... a difficult question! 8}
I don't have a klicky-inventory at hand (they're all in my head :0 ) and I've so many which I got just with the intent to use some specific parts and their "remains" are stocked as "left-overs"... :omg:
Others are (partially) disassembled and are awaiting customization. I also get myself parts of klickies, so I'm not sure how many complete ones I'd have when counting/assembling all the torsos, legs, arms, heads etc. I got seperately.... 8}
So, here are most of the "the at-the-moment-assembled-ones":
"Classic history":
5 legionairs
2 Praetorian guards
1 Caesar
1 Pharao
1 Cleopatra
1 Joseph & 1 Mary ;D
3 Wise Kings
Medieval:
ca. 50 assembled custom-knights
Renaissance:
1 Columbus
1 Montezuma
1 Don de Benidorm
1 Magister Googlos
ca. 50 Conquistadores
6 Dürers ;)
5 Samurai
ca. 15 musketeers
1 cardinal Richelieu
2 priests
1 King Louis XXII
1 Dauphin (King's son)
2x :omg: Hadoque
More klickies from the Royal court, civilians, etc...
18th century - early 19th century:
ca. 300 French army-soldiers & -officers
5 French Navy officers
42 Spanish army-soldiers & -officers
3 Spanish navy-officers
ca. 260 English army-soldiers & -officers
ca. 25 English navy-officers
ca. 15 English navy-uniformed sailors
ca. 500 pirates, corsairs, and decent sailors
ca. 75 nobles & citizens...
ca. 25 children
1 Napoleon
1 Zorro
Then there are some robbers, a few executioners, witches, priests, saints, klickies from more magical themes, museum-knights... Also klickies still in their boxes/bags/eggs....
I give up!! 8} 8}
Oh, almost forgot these on my desk:
US Civil War
3 Yankee soldiers
2 Confederate soldiers
Modern times:
2 SWAT-policemen
Btw, I think the quality of one's klickies is more important then the quantity.
Suppose one has 5000+ old worn-out klickies from 1975 but nothing else?! ;)
-
let's just keep it simple.
let's make it.... human-shaped clickies, original or customs, assambled. :)
start counting.... btw... I want to be a major weirdo... is that wrong? :lol:
-
I just used the pictures of my full collection to do a full headcount, 118 clickies and two skeletons is the population.
I'd estimate my lego population to be about 250 minifigures, I have about 20 GI-Joe figures, 2 action men and about 50 plastic soldiers.
Sadly none of them pay rent, ever do the shopping, get a job or anything else to contribute to the houshold. :lol:
-
btw... I want to be a major weirdo... is that wrong? :lol:
:lol: not wrong.....all will be right with the world when we are all major weirdos!!!
-
I'd be happy with minor weirdo at the moment. I'm normal. :'(
:lol:
-
at some point we made "normal" wrong :lol:
how crazy is that? :lol:
-
Hahahaha!
I'm quite happy to be a weirdo...at some point...when I remember how to count that high, I'll figure out whether I am major or minor. No desire to be "normal" in any way, Pgal :wave:
-
at some point we made "normal" wrong :lol:
how crazy is that? :lol:
Abnormally normal or normal abnormally, that is the question. ;D
-
I think the rating should be:
250 or less -- abnormally normal
250-500 -- normal
500-1000 -- normally abnormal
1000-2000 -- abnormal
2000-3000 -- abnormally abnormal
3000 or more -- totally psycho!
;D ;D ;D

oh boy my mental health is never looking good when it comes to these types of measurements 8}

Never ever counted mine or even thought about it tbh :-\
I think I have more of those darn oil drums and tool boxes than Klickies :lol: :lol: :lol:
Damo :)

Noooo comment. :toot:
I'm just teasing. :P
-
Noooo comment. :toot:

Sadly the head shrinker's at Stanford were not :-[
I never have counted and I never see myself getting to. If I even try to start I just start playing as it is much more fun.
Damo, Now don't go throwing out those useful oil drums. I think they make a train yard look very realistic when they are piled up all over the place
-

You're not going to let that one go, are you :lol: :-[

Throwing out seemingly useless, broken, worn out playmobil.......NEVER :lol: its all useful :P
You know they always have a good home somewhere in pf, just look how a defective tire found a loving home ;)
-
Oooh, what an interesting thread! I think I have somewhere around 200-300 klickies - I need to count them tomorrow! I'm afraid my collection pales to some collections of other forum members.
I think the rating should be:
250 or less -- abnormally normal
250-500 -- normal
500-1000 -- normally abnormal
1000-2000 -- abnormal
2000-3000 -- abnormally abnormal
3000 or more -- totally psycho!
;D ;D ;D
I guess I'm abnormally normal. ;)

That's why I'm not going to count mine,....ever! I don't want to know how psycho I really am! ;D

I have between 400 and 500. I don't want my wife to know how many either! I think I remember reading that Baden had over 10,000.

10.000 :o :o :o :o :o :o
That volume of klicky's does not fit in my playmoroom!
As a mather of fact I'm in negotiation now with my girlfriend to claim an extra room, it's already getting crowded with 200.
-
I think a differentiation between collections and merchandise is applicable here, a collector with 500 is not comparable with a seller with say 5000 klickies . I think here we are talking about collectors only ??? ??? ??? ???.. If i had a playmobil shop with new/old playmobil for sale ( what a great wish this is , a sound business project if you ask me :love: :love: :love: :love:) apart from going bankrupt as i would keep everything to myself i dont think i could say i have all this merchandise as a private collection as its stuff for sale etc etc :)

Baden from what I gather is only interested in collecting fire and klickies and all else is sold individually on auction.
I know of quite a few collectors with well over 10,000. They collect many theme and sets. It is not as rare amongst older collectors as you might think. It really does not take long if your purchases are in the 100's, often.
Its easy to get the stuff, its just finding time to play & display
-
Baden never sells klickies, or it is extremely rare. He sells other parts, but he collects klickys personally. And of course he collects the fire theme, but I believe he collects klickys from all themes, and has an extensive collection. I'm sure he is not counting items that are about to be sold as part of his collection.
-
I have never counted them, must be around 3500
Are those just the Nuremburg guards George? :lol: :lol: (only joking ;D )
I haven't counted mine ...yet...I'll have to claim back all the ones that James has 'borrowed' to take part in his X-factor concert first :lol:

MY collection pales in significance when compared to others . I am absolutely right when i tell the wife that i havent got enough and that my collection is insignificant . i need more klikcies .. more... much more ...
;D

lol that's a funny classification, Bonnie :lol:
this thread reminds me i have to update my database too, 3 months ago i had almost 900, but since i haven't bought many lately i'm sure i still don't have a thousand yet :( (why is it so hard!...oh wait, every box contains an avergae of 3 clickies ::))
that also reminds me i need to count unrepeats only...armies don't count for me!! ;D ;D ;D
-
BB: Ohmygod!
Are these guys elves in Santa's workshop?
Please don't tell me they do this all day?
I would lose what I have left of my mind in about 10 minutes of doing this!
I'm going back to work as I enjoy what I do for a living much more than watching these elves!
But the video is quite amazing...would not believe this if I had not seen it, Pgal :wave:
-
I used to count every week or so for fun...
I haven't in a looong time.
The dates probably match with the day I joined PlaymoFriends. :lol:
I was only at 100 klickies with my Medieval army and Roman army combined...
Now I probably have more than that in both armies. 8}
Rough estimate? 200 klickies, including the ones not in my armies. :)
But growing at an ever increasing pace. ;D
-
That is a rather amazing video. I do wonder what exactly they are trying to accomplish? ??? Some sort of record? It's nowhere close to the record for number of klickys in a single diorama, though.
-
are these the same people that glued all the Romans to strips of cardboard so they could set them up quickly outdoors?
-
I believe so.
-
This guys got you beat, George! ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbrVQNWmGLc&feature=related
I sure could do with a few thousand of them romans :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
:lol:
-
The video is just a segment of a longer one from a while back. This is that big show in the German museum. You can tell since they are using only the oldest type of Roman -a couple of years before the series was released. The rolls at the end are tents rolled up that they put over the back of donkeys.

i have seen that before actually many years ago, all the soldiers were placed on a floor covered with earth and some gravel to make it all look realistic. impressive , shame its not the latest romans which look much better
-
I have so many cardboard full of playmobil that is hard to say...I can tell you that I have about 5-6 cubic meters (170-210 cubic feet) of cardboard full of Playmobil (klicky, and other parts)....to save place I did open most of my Playmobil boxes (only the boxes that can be wrapped) and put the content in the cardboard....So I will say I should have 1000-1500 klickies maybe more....
BTW 1000 Klicky is about 70 liters (1 klicky is 2.5cmx4cmx7cm)
-
Since I started this thread in last October I have been counting my acquisitions :lol:
Series 3 had made me reach and surpass the 1000 clickies.
The one which had the honor to be the 1000th was this one:
(http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb432/tonguello/DSCF4339.jpg)
:love: :love: :love:
-
Wow. I think there are 999 klickies at your house quaking in fear!
Congrats on reaching 1000 klickies!!!
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: thanks bb!
I was afraid the 1000th was lady gaga :lol: so I was very relieved to see the Pumpkin guy had the special place.
-
i know its an old thread but 18000 i can top easy :0 lol
-
I have to check the count, but somewhere around 140.
-
Think I moved up to about 150 since oktober when I had 116 of them.
It's just cruel how in that video the weapons are glued to those poor clickies their hands though.
-
i know its an old thread but 18000 i can top easy :0 lol
18 thousand!?!?!?!?!?!!?! :o
YOU MUST SHOW US THAT!!!!!
;D
-
I think I have reached a good number of 10,000 myself... maybe even a little more... but I hate counting...
-
I too either refuse to couunt or when I begin I start looking individually at each one at how great it is, the prints, the style, colors and well just how perfect of a toy they are. So basically I never get around to counting, only playing :P
Lets just say, we have a lot ;D
-
Quit counting too.. We were about 3000 (or was it 5000?) when we gave up on records. That was creatures, meaning humans and animals. And that was DURING the crazy ebay years. Enough said.
-
well.. pic is not easy as they all over the place.. i just can sjow a pic of klickys i got last week.. ca. 500 new ones..
-
Love looking at these threads always makes me laugh as a young new collector on the dole I can beat you all hands down for the least number of Klickies, 27 including a baby, 3 kids and only 1 adult woman, 1 person here mentioned their other collections, I've got numerous toys never counted the LEGO figures assembled or otherwise and 40+ Action Men at the last count, hope Klickies can swim as I'm sure the last figure will increase significantly ;D. With any luck I'll be adding a Gardener to represent me in Playmobil terms next week and since I've finally found a car boot sale within easy travelling distance of me I mgith be adidng some more PLaymobil and AM's soon :yippee:
-
I have about 250-300 figures most of these from Victorian and castle (1994) series!!!!
-
Some of the massive numbers here have made me feel so muich better and so relieved realising that i still have to go a verrrry long way to even approach some of the chaps here . so its time tp get some more klikcies and feel fine about it . thank you all big collectors , i thank you so much yopu have m,ade my day and playmobil greece will be getting some orders in september for more klickies :love: :love: :love: :love:
-
18 thousand!?!?!?!?!?!!?! :o
YOU MUST SHOW US THAT!!!!!
;D
That is an absolutely crazy number!! :omg:
I still haven't counted yet, although I think that the number of klickies I have hasn't changed much from my previous estimate. Probably around the 345 mark now.
-
well.. pic is not easy as they all over the place.. i just can sjow a pic of klickys i got last week.. ca. 500 new ones..
why are there so many of these floating around right now? the green police, the asian pirate w/red , police w/ the blue on his chest. It seems Malta is full of them ???
-
i need more police figures and others need those nuernberg guards :P
-
well.. pic is not easy as they all over the place.. i just can sjow a pic of klickys i got last week.. ca. 500 new ones..
:( can't see any pic...
-
Wow!!! :omg: I saw some incredible numbers of klickies here, congratulations guys. :clap: :clap:
I have about 750 figures right now. ;) My problem is not my figures, it's all the other parts of my collection, I need more space fot them and I don't have it. :lol:
Friendly George. :)
-
i checked up the charts and its something around 500 clickies
-
These klickies really start adding up when one starts counting them! I can't believe it, but I have around 2000 klickies that I am using along with probably another 200 or so in pieces that I am using for parts.
-
I can say with certainty that the number is even more than the last time I responded to the thread. I just dont want to know the exact number. Its enough to know I have 752+ different animals.
-
since my last estimate... they have increased to ... as many as the stars in the sky ;) at least if we are to believe my mother-in-law :lol:
-
my number up to date is 1027 :)
-
I'm pushing the 200 mark lol..it only goes up from here.
-
I only have abou 125 clickies... that's allmost nothing when I see you numbers of clickies :o That's crazy! :lol:
well, I shouldn't say anything with my +/- 800 animals, but still...
-
I really need to count!! :-[
From my last estimate, I'm probably at the 410 mark by now...next step, 500! :D
-
I have 350. All ACW / Western.
