Could you possibly tell us more about the Brazilian Forum ?
What are the hot topics there ?
I guess our little Klickies are "shaking it better" to the sound of Samba

Haha! I haven't seen any samba klickys yet, Karim ...

Actually, Brasilian culture is very toward the US, in many things. This is why, for example, many, many people collect cowboys (as we call the Western collection), one of the lines I decided not to collect as an adult, once it isn't my history ...
The forum appeared out of need of the Playmobilist community to come out of orkut. Most Brasilians use orkut, it's a fever in Brasil. (Not to "have it" makes you a kind of an alien -- like me.) So, a community started in orkut. Once Brasil began to import Playmobil, since last year, the collector community saw it fit to come out of that place, and become a normal community.
So, it's starting, but it's ... very Brasilian, all right! It's funny to see people of my language speaking about it, even, and I admit I've recently been spending more time here than there, but I try to keep it in paralel.
In Brasil, there's two main kinds of collectors: the ones who collect the new ones, like me, and the ones who dig out the Trol ones, because of their childhood. I myself always saw that the Trol klickys are of very inferior quality than geobra B's, this is why I don't miss much my old childhood collection.
One very profitable thing that has been happening because of the new (and actually the 1st) forum are the meetings. There's been monthly meetings in Rio, and there was a meeting in Sampaulo, too.
(I haven't attended to any of them yet, for lack of resources, but eventually I will, in time.)
The forum has been working very nicely in this way: to gather the
playmopeople in Brasil.
And it'll possibly help the toy market as well.
Lets see what comes of it.
