the ever-growing collection at my house
« on: October 19, 2011, 23:51:14 »
Hello Friends,

I'm slowly figuring out digital photography and photosharing (not to mention how to post to this forum  ;D), so it is time to begin to post pics of the playmobil at my house. Three of us have items from many of the themes, so I'll use this thread to post pictures as I take them, and share any new purchases  :)9.

First, from my personal collection and some of my favorite pieces from the magic theme, which I almost always set up with the forest and medieval theme.

I realized as I'm posting these pictures that much of my pre-2007 items were acquired through ebay, craigslist, used toy stores, or garage sales. As such, they tend to be pieced together rather than in mint condition. I have rather enjoyed bringing these bits and pieces together to make something that I like, so I might occasionally share a story of how they came together.

I'll start with this picture.



The yellow, green, and white figure were a "buy it now" find on ebay, just the figures and the 3 robin hood hats. I really liked the hats, so I bought them. The scarves and cuffs came from a bag of mixed up pieces from a garage sale (this bag ended up containing some goodies!). The red figure was an extra from another ebay purchase, so I moved the red hat to him and bought the black hat from playmobil DS. The white feather in the black cap came from the garage sale bag. This happy little group are now amongst my favorites!

Those little bags of small bits are absolutely the best!  I just wish it was easier to find them.
