Title: Hello from California!!
Post by: Venser on November 01, 2015, 00:36:12
 :welcome: Hi everyone!

I am a teen from Los Altos, California. I have loved Playmobil :klickygrin: since I was three or four. In my opinion, it is way better than Lego or something.:)9 (these emoticons are amazing!) Anyway, my favorite playmobil is the medieval ones :knight: :viking:, but I also have some egyptian stuff  :egypt:and a pirate ship :captain:. I know I don't have nearly as big collections as you reading this post, but I still enjoy playmobil IMMENSELY--I have several limited editions, such as sir Hector from the playmobil magazine last year.(at least I THINK he's hard to find!) I cant wait to expand my collection massively!
I like forums a lot and I'm super happy to be part of this small, but amazing forum! Thanks for letting me in Sylvia!! :)9 I will enjoy being with you guys.

Welcome from North Yorkshire in the UK!   :wave:

The size of your collection is unimportant; what is important is the fun you get out of it. I have found that the larger the collection, the more it can become a burden.

Welcome from Amsterdam, The Netherlands! I like your enthusiast introduction! Just as playmofire and Ismene said; the size of your collection is not important. Mine is not that big, it's growing but not very quick...  A few klickies, a computer, a camera and some Photoshopping is all I need to make a Playmobil comic..  click on the link in my signature below.
I collect medieval stuff, ancient and exotic warriors, some fantasy and anything spooky!

Hope you have fun here!

I can confirm this theory  8}

Welcome from the Netherlands.

Personly I started quite small some years ago just as well when I joined the forums, just the stuff I had from my childhood. Didnt have a single building but slow and steady I've been expanding a bit each year, I do have a rough playmobil budget for each year. Mostly medieval and some pirates.
It helps to keep a look out for reissued old sets through direct service since they can get very expensive on Ebay and other auction sites.

I've been collecting all medieval houses released in the past years and now I have the blacksmith, the baker, the museum and a yellow house. Next up is the tailor once its available here.  :) 
If you dont have a castle yet thats probably the best start when going medieval. Especially the older castles of the Steck system are very versatile and give plenty of options to build them in different ways.
