Feather here - New member.
« on: December 28, 2009, 19:18:18 »
Hi everyone

I used to play with Playmobil as a kid (in the 80's). As time went, I was made to believe that I outgrew the toys. However, every single time I stepped into a toy store, I would stop by the Playmobil section and look at the boxes and the details. I forgot for a few years. Sometimes, life just goes that way. In the recent years, though, my young nephews were born and are just at the Playmobil "age" now (is there ever an age for that???). Just a few weeks ago, I was Christmas shopping and of course found myself in front of the Playmobil shelves of our local toy store.

"Well" I thought to myself... "I've been longing for them long enough!"

I got Playmobil for all my old enough nephews..... and I got Playmobil for myself! I told my boyfriend that I wanted to collect them. The news was well received (not that it would have changed anything... hehehe).

To my Surprise, on Christmas eve, my boyfriend as well as my parents gave me some Playmobil sets!!! One of the sets  my bf gave me was one of a Groom and Bride with wedding cake. (About an hour later, he was down on his knee, proposing to me!  ;D )

So anyway, I'm back into the Playmobil world after a 20-year break! I love the new sets, but am also on a quest to find the sets I used to have as a kid.

I like to put the things together, build scenes, take pictures, etc.

I am very happy to be a new member here and hope I will be able to participate and help others as well as learn things about the Playmobil world.

Thanks for reading
Feather

Hi Feather! :wave:

Cute kitty avatar. ;D

And that was such a sweet way for your boyfriend to propose. I think it's lovely that your passion for Playmobil is supported so enthusiastically by your family! (This isn't always the case for an adult collector. Some of us have to horde our sets in secret. :toot:  ;))

Welcome to the forum! I hope to hear a lot more from you in the future. :)

Welcome from the South Eastern USA, Feather! You have a very unique Playmobil reintroduction story involving your marriage proposal! You have found many adults with the same rekindled passion!

Another welcome from Oregon!

Glad the wedding sets were available, proposing with a Dragon Knight with lazer bazooka would not have been quite so romantic!

Looking forward to seeing more from you here, and how your colelction is growing,

cheers,  Martin
