Greetings from Florida
« on: March 14, 2010, 03:58:04 »
Hello, I am Dereck, and I'm in my mid-twenties. I just recently started collecting Playmobil (maybe about two years ago). I never had them as a kid, and I just discovered them in the store one day about five years ago. So they're not nostalgic for me, I just think they're cool. And when I started doing more research, I found out they are even more cool. I like the myriad of random and weird things they've created over the years. There is no logic in what I collect, it's just the things I like or things I find unusual. I do most of my purchasing over eBay, though there is one place in particular I buy from online, though I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention that here. I'm also interested in trading, customizing, and finding out what cool and unusual Playmobil things have been made over the years.

Nice to meet you all.

Welcome Dereck!

You can mention any website here, we're not commercial.

Playmobil have certainly produced some fun & bizzare sets over the years, like the drunk tramp & policeman, and the airport security check set to name but two.

Lookign forward to seeing some of your collection!

cheers,  Martin
