Hello from Vancouver!
« on: November 04, 2010, 21:39:59 »
Hi, I'm Christina and I'm on the west coast of Canada.  My younger brother had an extensive playmobil collection when we were little, and I played with it a bunch.  My almost-3 son showed signs of interest in a playmobil catalog over the summer and I remembered how much fun it had been, so picked up a plane off of craigslist.  He LOVES it and so do I.  There are now several circus, farm and outdoors sets hidden away for Christmas, he's getting a firetruck, ambulance and fire station for his birthday from my very generous in-laws, and I can't wait to dig through my parents' attic next time we visit to see what vintage stuff is in there.

I was motivated to sign up after a google search turned up the posts here on sets available at Winners and Costco Canada, so thank you for those!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Welcome to Playmofriends from the United States Virgin Islands.

Christina, there used to be a toy shop with a really great selection of Playmobil on Granville Island.
It was The Granville Island Toy Company!
