Hello, Bonjour, Здравствулте, Hallo, Hola!
« on: February 10, 2009, 00:37:30 »
My name is Coriander, or Cori for short.  I am pretty new to Playmobil, and I have fallen in love!  I am still learning where my interests are... right now I want everything!  And I'm interested in customizing, and making displays.

I started with some Christmas sets, and then discovered Fairies.  Now that I'm learning more, I realized that my brother and I had a set or two as children.  I am hoping to find them in our boxed up toys that my parents saved.  (Oh, I'm 32.) 

I'm married, but don't have kids. I have a cute pembroke welsh corgi named Daisy though.  I live in Western, NY, in the US.  I'm also a musician, and a gamer.  I love games like Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, and Alhambra.  I've been known to play some D&D as well.

Hello Coriander! Welcome to our little corner of the world from the Great Pacific Northwest. I am sure you will enjoy yourself here and it is always fun to meet someone who has newly come to Playmobil.

Welcome from the UK.  :wave: I hope you find some of your old Playmobil which must be quite early stuff.

Welcome Cori, from South Carolina USA! Just wait until you start seeing the older retired items on eBay, it will become an obsession from then on  :love:!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

I spent a few hours looking at ebay today, heh. 

I originally was interested in starting a train set, and when we got to the craft store, they also had Playmobil.  Then I learned there is a Playmobil train!   :love:

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!  I am so happy you all!

Wwelcome Cori!

Your enthousiasm is almost infectious. Almost; because we're all as enthousiastic as you are 0)

Welcome Cori,

great to have you here!

I often thought that Playmobil would be an ideal medium for D&D or other tabletop roleplaying, as you could customise your character to have any weapons/armour and overall look that you wanted. I wonder if people do that?

cheers,  Martin

Hi Cori! :*)

It's wonderful to hear from such an enthusiastic and happy Playmofan! :D

I hope you have an understanding partner. It sounds like your home is going to be filled with Playmobil toys. ;D

Have fun here at PlaymoFriends, and do come back and visit us often to tell us about your growing collection. 8-)

Howdy Cori :wave:
Welcome from sunny Arizona.
Glad to have you aboard.  I dabble in trains myself.

Best regards,
Jimbo
