Do you ever lose Playmobil?
« on: May 24, 2010, 10:19:28 »
Hello :wave:

I have had 3 playpeople knights and accessories, and 3 early Polizei motorbikes with riders missing for about a year now and can't find them anywhere :-\

I know I can't of sold them because I very very rarely sell any Playmobil, and I'm always losing Playmobil short term, for example my pirate ship sails, but thy usually turn up.

I don't understand where these could have gone because I am a very tidy and organised person, so, does anyone else lose playmobil mysteriously or is it just me? :-\

I never loose items ...
I even know where they are ...
Most of time somewhere in one of the many boxes I keep in the shed.
Or in one of the other boxes ...
or somewhere in the cupboard.
Somwhere ...

You see - I know where each part is: it's somewhere.

now only a way to figure out where "somewhere" is ...

I think i have lost a few pieces, only to find them again in different boxes, bags, or drawers...I try never to loose anything, and if i cannot find it, i search again and again until i find it!!!

Several times already, I bought pieces at eBay or DS that I knew to have but had no idea where...  :-[
Does this count as lost?  ;)

Maybe your policemen are undercover?

best,

I know where everything is; I just can't find everything!

I lost all my playmospace playmobil ( all sets ) , many modern ones ( well police and fire brigade, construction ) from the late 70s and early 80s, about 150-200 klickies in total , plus other toys in a flood. I was so so upser i never bought any playmobil from 1991 to 1998 , but i surely bought quite a few just in 1998 to maek up for the loss, around 800 klickies i think back then !!!!  :love: :love: :love:

I used to 'lose' things such as hats and hair and accessories because my eldest son would change them round after I had sorted them all out (I also have been known to sift throught the dustbag from the vacuum cleaner thinking that it had picked up a small piece such as a cuff or flower   :-[)
Mainly though I know roughly where most things are - my problem is getting to it past  piles of boxes etc.
I was quite impressed this weekend because I emptied and sorted out the boys' bedroom and the only piece of Playmobil I found lying about was one flower.  :lol:

Never knowingly lost any Playmobil, at least nothing larger than a sword, but I did once lose a toy jeep. I had a pack of giant playing cards, and I used to enjoy building a card house with them and running this jeep into it. One time I ran the jeep in, the cards collapsed flat, and the jeep was gone. Never saw it again. My theory is it was abducted by aliens as an example of Earthling vehicular technology. Boy are they gonna be surprised when the invasion fleet lands and they discover it was a 1/32 scale model.
