Hello from Portugal
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:17:28 »
Hey everyone - greetings from Portugal ;)

I see some known "faces" around...

Anyways, I've been a lonnnngtime playmomaniac, but been out of it for years, since I lack the space. At the time I just bought every set, every theme (had a serious problem, I think)..  but the truth is I don't have where to put them.. So I just backed away... And since it depressed me, I kinda faded from the online playmoworld as well :(   That's why playkingdoms is mostly abandoned...

I always knew I was making a big mistake (double the fool, I know).. since I KNEW I'd be back someday. There's no love like the first, we say here.

Anyways, a few weeks ago I found, right next to my workplace, a couple of gorgeous playmostatues (from Leblon-Delienne) I didn't even know existed. There was a nurse and a fireman... I'd buy them both, but discovered they weren't the only ones, so I decided to be a bit more selective (meaning my sister got some sense into me!)...

I got the nurse and tried to hunt the older ones (a knight, which is the one I really want, a sheriff and an indian), but no luck. In the meantime, stupid retarded me found out there was FINALLY a playmoPT store. In fact, it's spanish, they answer in spanish and all... but they ship here :)

So, I got the workman statue from them, and decided that if those older three ever cross my path.. they're mine!

Anyways, that nurse (it was one of our first sets, actually, she'll be 31 come xmas), in spite of having only one "bracelet", inspired me to FINALLY get to it. Though I think it'll take MONTHS to sort through stuff.

Spent another weekend sorting and bathing my playmoguys.. Problem is I'm still in the first couple of big tubs in one corner of one room. The room is almost full. And there's another room. Sigh. My finger is bloody from removing hair from repeats.

Well, sorry for the long post. I tend to ramble about playmobil, animals, concerts and tv/movies/books. I'm scary that way. You'd think with age would come wisdom, or at least a bit of sense, but that saying is a complete LIE.

Now I'll try to keep up. Wish me luck, I'll need it ;)
