Greetings from Canada
« on: July 29, 2010, 06:42:44 »
Greetings all.

I finally found my way to this forum.  I was on the "other" Playmobil forum that went under ...

Oh well, this one is quite active and obviously has inspired some very great things in the world of Playmobil, from the posts I have read so far (ie mit Herr Bandstatter and the Playmobil Collectors Club!).

About me:  I first started playing with Playmobil as a child when my mother purchased for me a couple of sets of knights following that up with some US Cavalry (or Union soldiers) and a couple civilians and a sheriff.  Sadly, I did not have any of the buildings.  Playmobil was very hard to find here in Canada and also very expensive then (mid - late 70's).

Now that I have children they too have been lovingly given Playmobil and enjoy it greatly.  (I started to buy Playmobil for my oldest before she was even born - just wish I would have/could have gotten more - LOL).  With 5 children and another on the way (December) there will be lots of years of playing ahead!  (Now, if people could just convince my wife that all these large blue boxes are really not that bid and do not take up that much room ...)

Anyway, it's good to be here and I am looking forward to lots of positive Playmobil info and reforming contacts I had lost. 

(I also believe I owe Martin a few dollars for a ship he was kind enough to mail me just as the "other" Playmobil forum went under.)

Thank you!

Yes, they like the nuns.  We kept one in the package and the other we opened.  In fact, they had forgotten about it 'till early this week and when I brought it out again they were quite happily surprised.

This is so cool learning about that, and it gives me a hint you home must be filled with A LOT OF playmobil boxes 8-) I usually just tear the package off once I receive something new >:D
Post more and you will gain access to the trading subforum where you can once again swap with all fellow playmobil lovers around the world. :wave:

Hello

Welcome to the forum from Sonoma County California  :wave: I was just last night hoping to come across a Canadian who could do some trading with me  :lol: Enjoy your time here
