Greetings from Orlando, Florida
« on: April 08, 2010, 05:27:07 »
I thought I'd tack onto this thread as a new member since my story is very similar to Dereck's. . . I live in Florida (Orlando), mid- to late twenties, and I just recently got into Playmobil toys.  I had heard of them long ago, but upon closer inspection I was stunned at the breadth of themes and characters and accessories in this line.  A shame I didn't get to see the Playmobil store that used to be in Orlando, but it's probably better for my wallet that way.  I look forward to customizing some figures, and I've already learned a lot from this board as a guest and from the PlaymoDB.

Best, Matt

Hello, Matt ...  :wave:

A big welcome to PlaymoFriends from the warm and sunny United States Virgin Islands (America's Paradise)!

As I told Dereck, I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale. From what he said about being from the NE part of Florida, he must be from around the Jacksonvile/St.Augustine area. Which as you know, is a long way from Orlando.

BTW, regarding the Orlando "Funpark", you really didn't miss much. It was really a "Funstore" in the Florida Mall. However, they did carry a complete line of Playmobil sets and Add-Ons.

The North Palm Beach "Funpark" is a bit bigger and worth the trip a couple of times a year. Especially, if you give them a call to find out when they're having their 25% off sales ... ;)

Glad to have you here and look forward to seeing you around!

All the best,
Richard

Welcome Matt!

It is really better to start your own new welcome thread, because we expect one per person and your one got lost.

I would suggest you cut and paste your introduction into a new thread, or maybe a moderator could remove these last three posts into a new thread. Then you'll find you get a dozen or more welcomes rather than just the one!


cheers,  Martin
