Hello fellow Playmobil lovers
« on: April 16, 2010, 12:07:32 »
Hello everyone. My name is Linda and I was a member of another Playmobil fansite which became deactivated for some reason and as I missed hearing about it and being involved in the enthusiasm of others I decided to join you all. I recognise some of the names here, which is a pleasant surprise.

I live in Western Australia, have four children and discovered Playmobil approximately two years ago. My two youngest children (6 and almost 5) are fellow addicts and it is one of my pleasures to buy sets for them, the only problem is that we love so many! I hear the phrase 'Mum, I want this!" so often that can't help smiling and feeling pleased that they have such good taste.

I love Playmobil because of the wonderful variey of themes - there is seriously nothing like it! I also suspect that it is something I would have loved to have as a child myself, so am making up for lost time. It is lovely to be amongst fellow enthusiasts and not feel that I am a silly 41 year old!

I have developed an urge to build some Harry Potter themed custom sets and I hope to be able to draw on the knowledge and experience here to help me.

Lin  :)

Cool! Harry Potter!  :D

I was working on something like this but lost time doing so.
But I am willing to assist. :)

Be welcome from Northern Germany and enjoy your time here,

Welcome Lin!

Seeing some of the great creations and customisations here, one soon comes to the realization that Playmobil stimulates the imagination far better than any pre-licensed toys can, and is so flexible that we can create our own versions, like Harry Potter or Indiana Jones, and get more satisfaction from doing it ourselves.

cheers,  Martin

Hi Lin,    :wave:
Welcome from Scotland 
I'm a great Harry Potter fan, as well as a great Playmobil fan so look forward to seeing your customs.  I've often thought about doing some HP customs too but haven't had the time, however my son often uses Klickys as stand ins for some of the characters when he's playing with his HP sets.
Best wishes,

Elaine
