Greetings from the land of Make Believe
« on: May 26, 2010, 22:16:51 »
Hello everyone,

I just became a member of this forum a couple of days ago.

When I grew up in the seventies I played a lot with playmobil. As I got older my interests changed. A couple of years ago I bought a little roman soldier at the Varusschlacht museum near Osnabruck (Germany).

Last year I bought a Cleopatra special at a fleemarket. And some other stuff.

Now I own a small Roman legion and a modest Egyptian army. I've started buying fantasy-stuff like undead, skeletons, wizards, withes, the druid, hooded phantom and so on.

I intend to use all of it in a sort of wargame in my garden next year. It's a long story, has to do something with my Dungeons and Dragons group. I intend to stop collecting after that. I'm not sure that I can, though.

Welcome Ali!

I'm interested to hear that you bought a Roman legionary in a Museum, because I have never seen Playmobil in UK Museums and I keep urging Geobra to try to get Playmobil into museums. Your story illustrates how one figure can start a collection!

Welcome to the forum, and I hope to see some pictures of your growing collection soon!

cheers,  Martin

Welcome from Southern California, Ali Baba! :wave:

I'm a big Roman and Egyptian fan as well with a small Roman and Egyptian army.  I'd love to see pictures of your armies and your battles.  You may be interested in the site below, which is dedicated to wargaming:

Welcome from Thessaloniki, northern Greece which has a lot or Roman sites to see!!! I also have a small legion andloads of egyptians.... I wanted to plan somethig like you in the D&D universe a couple of years back, but it did not work as players started playing with the playmobil klickies and not with the actual rpg....
