OMG!!!

I just went to the FB page and you're running Magic tournaments too!!!


Yup, nobody else in town sells CCG's and I've been playing since 1994 so I figured what the heck, let's play. I'm also doing Pokemon :-)

Congratulations on all accounts.  Where in Port Townsend are you going to be?  In old town near the waterfront or inland?  We used to go to Port Townsend every year for vacation on our boat when I was growing up, and I was just there a couple of years ago on a peninsula road trip, stopping to see the Adventuress, the 101 ft schooner, that I used to crew on.  I wish you much success in your new venture.  Keep us posted.

Wow, someone actually knows Port Townsend! I'm down on Water Street in the Flagship Landing building. Very cool that you were on the Adventuress. This is a great town to live in and the water/boating is an added bonus.

For anyone that is wondering, Port Townsend is West of Seattle on the Olympic Peninsula on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Wet and rainy, but not as much as Seattle!

He's close to me!  He's close to me!
Hooray!   There will be a toy store to buy Playmobil that's closer than Seattle!
So, where are you located? It sounds like you're close. There are some other great shops in the area that carry Playmobil. I'm just the new guy on the block :-)

Thanks to everyone for their positive thoughts and well wishing. It's been very exciting opening the shop. Meeting with my sales Rep. in the Playmobil booth at the New York Toy Fair is one of the funnest things I've ever done!

I got to play with all of the new toys coming out this year and plan out my buying for the upcoming months. The Top Agents line is VERY cool in person. I can't wait for that theme. The new foam gliders fly great. I made one the reps "go long". I even got to see a new release announced the day before Toy Fair. It will be released in Europe and the US at the same time. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm wondering if people at the German toy show saw it too?

I will photograph and post to Facebook my first shipment when it arrives. I can't wait!

The new statue arrived this morning! He is in excellent shape. No cracks or damage at all. I have included a link to my facebook page for pics:

The freight company lost my shipment (an entire pallet), and then, a week later found it! The shipment arrived today. Pics are posted on my Facebook page:

Playmobil sets minimum prices for their products, so I used those. I want to share as much as I can with the local community. I hate walking into a store to find inflated prices...My sales rep. and customer service at Playmobil has been very helpful getting me started. Lots of promotional material came with the shipment (two different banners, catalogs, shelf liners, signs, stickers...bags too).

Anyways, I just wanted to share the news and say that getting a pallet of Playmobil is as fun as you think it is! I'm still in shock. I'd love to give any of you guys a playmo-tour. Please stop in to say hello if you're ever in Port Townsend.
