Hi PB, welcome from Scotland, looking forward to seeing your western town - also your circus - is it the old set or the new one?

Welcome to the forum, playmobueb!  I too collect the Western theme, along with Romans, Egyptians, Knights, and Pirates.  In fact, I recently acquired Fort Eagle, the Golden Nugget Saloon, and the newer Sherrif's office, so I've been buying more Western sets lately than anything.  I too look forward to seeing pictures of Sweetwater.  Which era of history are you studying or do you enjoy most?

Greetings playmobueb and welcome from the Great Pacific Northwest!  :wave: I think Martin is right in that a lot of us collect the Western theme 'on the side', I don't feel I 'collect' western but I never turn any cowboys or indians away and forts can always be folded into the knight and roman themes. Glad to have you here with us and look forward to seeing pictures of Sweetwater.

Hi everybody,

Thanks for the warm welcoming here!

To answer some of your questions:

- Why did i choose the name "Sweetwater" for my western town?
I don't know if the western movie "Once upon a time in the west", directed by Sergio Leone and with the actors Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale, is known well in the US, but in Europe it's more or less a cult movie. However, the persons in the movie are struggeling for a piece of land whose owner was killed before he could launch his town "Sweetwater" (he found water in the middle of the desert, and water is needed for the steam engine).

- Which circus do i have?
I'm a proud owner of the "Circus Romani" :) from the 90's.

- Which era of history am i studying?
I'm studying history in general because it's needed to get the teachers degree. But my real interests are in the history of the ancient romans and in the modern history. I find the romans quite amazing; the interest of modern history comes from the fact that i got a taste of the cold war as a child (i was 6 when the nuclear plant Tschernobyl in the Ukraine exploded. Because of the nuclear clouds i wasn't allowed anymore to drink milk for a while - and i loved milk.) and i also know people whow survived world war 2.

Cheers

PB

Hi playmobueb! :wave:

Welcome from snowy Scotland! :snowman:

It is a pleasure to meet you and it's great to have another Western fan on board. I'm not sure why that theme still appeals to so many of us, but I'm hopeful we'll see some new sets coming soon that we can add to our collections. Wasn't there mention of an "El Paso" set still in the works, somewhere?

Have fun at PlaymoFriends and please keep us up to date with progress on building your town. :)
