If your house were burning down, and all people, pets, and other important things were safely out of the house, but not yet the playmobil toys, and you had only time to grab ONE playmobil toy to save on the way out, WHICH one would you save?

In other words, which is your MOST FAVOURITE playmobil toy to you?  and why?  I'd first like to know which ONE thing you would save, be it a vehicle, a set, or a single klicky.  It has to be something you can grab quickly on the way out of a raging fire!

Afterwards, just for variety sake, let's have your top pick in the following categories, even if it's something you might not be able to grab in a hurry (like a castle which will fall apart into several pieces):

1. most valued set
2. most valued vehicle or small edifice
3. most valued klicky

For me, I would save my customized 3286 Pirate ship (the Black Pearl) because I put so much time and effort into customizing it.

 If I could save an entire set, it would be my 3268 Castle, though the system x castle would most likely fall apart and could not be carried out in one piece :(

If I had to save a single klicky, it would be a tossup between my customized Jack Sparrow and my special "Captain's Wife" (tan-skinned pirate woman with orange hat and pearl neclace).

Of the three (the set, the vehicle, the klicky), were I only given the choice of one thing, it would be my BlackPearl pirate ship :D

What one thing would you save?

Great topic! I've actually often contemplated this, strangely enough. Realistically, the thing I could quickly grad that i would probably grab is a very small divided box that has all my favorite klickys in it. It's small and on top of the pile, has a carrying handle.

But as for the other three:

1. The set I would grab? This one: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3015 It took me a long time to find at a reasonable price, and I really love it. (subject to change)

2. The small thing I would grab, probably my bronzed elephant. Or if it should be something not custom, the bison. My favorite playmobil animal EVER.

3. Favorite klicky. That's a REALLY tough one.  Maybe my special edition commemorative 9/11 FDNY firefighter. There's some irony in that, isn't there?

----EDIT----

or my pharoah, or the little servant with the feather fan. Or my avatar.

Its hard to say what one thing I would save especially when my whole collection is right by the window and small enough to move all at once. I would have to say all or nothing.    


but if Im force to chose I'll have to say my swat mobile command center. that is because it is my first custom and it also almost always has my three favorite klicky (my swat team).

I wouldn't have time to save any Playmobil! With lizard's, a turtle, & cats to rescue, they would take priority! I'd sacrifice all of my PCIAFD 3526's, 3551 trawler, ocean exploration collection, & customs for them!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Mr. Bill you are such a hero!  In your case you have SEVERAL customs and would be hard to save them all!  I love your firetrucks!  Of the other items you listed my personal favourite would be the trawler.

Yeah, I would be trying to throw my birds out the window, even though they would probably already be dead from the smoke.

Well the appartment is rather small... I'd just grab Isis (my cat) and run... I don't think I can choose among any of my playmobil...  :-[

but I meant which playmobil would you save if all people, PETS, and important things were already out and safe from the fire.  Of course we'd all save our family and pets first!

...sorry, I really cannot choose... probably a 3315 knight, or the merry men's feast (still sealed in its original box  ;D)...

Nope, now that I can think about it better, the old police helicopter...the one I still have from my childhood...and the old green police van...or the old police car...and the playmospace station...and... I' m probably dead by now right? ;D
