Hi all!
As I keep reading old and new posts (trying to keep up) I noticed that A LOT of you started collecting because of your kids.
I played with Playmobil since I was 4. Nas contuned to do it later on.
How many of us started the same way?
How many for their kids?
Any funny or weird stories about how your collections started?

Like I said in previous posts my dad gave me my first Playmobil when I was four, just as a present because I had a baby sister!. I must have been jealous of all the attention to her I guess. Then I couldn't stop!

Same, I got them as a kid, and absolutely love them! ;D
I was too little to remember when I first got them, or what the first set I got was...
But I believe it was either the Forest Ghost or 3896, Fairy's Waterfall.

I had my first Playmobil as a kid (cowboys & indians, knights and a few construction workers), then a lean patch for about 30 years when I bought only occasional sets that took my fancy (I really enjoyed the early specials as I could have a single figure as a mascot), and then kickstarted again properly with the Romans.

I haven't got any kids yet, but fully intend to have Playmobil for them if I have any.

Now that I think about it.. my mother took pictures every Christmas of us opening our gifts.
And I always remember we had to pose with the gift for her picture...

So I might have some photos of my first Playmobil! ;D

wow!! nice pictures!! :) that's really cute!

Honestly, we (my husband and I) were fans since childhood and, though our parents gave eveything we had without lidstening to our protests, we've never really stopped being fans :)

we re-began collecting when we moved together nearly 9 years ago, without using children for an excuse... in fact, we said: yeah, we're weird... so what?
