Hello from the Midwest
« on: April 27, 2010, 18:00:57 »
Hello  :wave:,
I have been interested in Playmobil for about 12 years, since my oldest boy (now 14) was little.  I never had it as a child (perhaps my parents thought them to be a boy toy).  Now, my sons are outgrowing it but I'm still enjoying it just as much as I did when we first started.  When my head gets too busy with life, I find Playmobil to be very relaxing.  I love steck and the whole medieval theme, am restoring more pirate ships then I have room for, like placing DS orders and love to trade.  I have a huge 'odd bits' bin, as well.  I can customize without too many broken bones, although I'm a bit too much of a purist to do much of it.  I've been trying to photograph some scenes but I'm not having much luck getting them to look 'real'.
So, greetings!  :)

Welcome from the South Eastern USA, Unasigne :wave:! You are not alone with your adult attraction to Playmobil! I've been collecting for nearly 9 years! It'd great to have you here with us! You'll find many members here that can help you with restorations & knowledge of your favorite themes!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Hi, Unasigne,
Welcome form Scotland 
My youngest son is almost 14 and I also started collecting Playmobil when my boys were young. 
I'm also restoring pirate ships and love the medieval theme. 
We should get on well!!
Best wishes,

Elaine
