in sep. 2007 i decided to launch the first playmofriends' pole - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1664.0
we had only 126 members then (208 now)
:yup: i think it is time to renew it and see if the results change in this bigger universe of playmofriends.
the number of playmo-families i decided to include is also bigger than it was in 2007.
it is very simple, you just have to choose 1, 2 or 3 categories and vote.
you can only vote once.
you can't change your vote afterwards.
the pole closes in 30 days, when spring begins in the northern emisphere.
:) i hope you will enjoy it.

Blast, cachalote! I can't choose only three of'em!!!
But, once I had the restriction, I went through the truth: Romans, Knights (&c) and Pirates (&c).
However, together with these, there come Vikings, and Western, and Victorian.

Since I am new to Playmobil, I am not very familiar with the various themes. I can only vote for the theme that attracted me to this crazy world: Romans!
-
Oh, that's not fair, only to chose three! ??? They are so fine grained separated ... my favourites are animals (not matter of farm, forrest, zoo, wild life, underwater ... which are already more than three) and the modern live (no matter of construction, city services, modern life, marriage, school, leisure, rescue, police, hospital ... which could be selected hardly by three but there wouldn't be no one left for the animals ...), so I'm really uncertain what to select ... maybe I come back later finding a suitable choise :-\
-
My task was a bit easier as fire and rescue is my number one choice and the othe rtwo just support it. However, having said that other themes also have their supporting role such as harbour, police, trains, leisure animals, even pirates. But fire and rescue is certainly first.

I don't see any votes for fire and rescue ???

Hm, no idea what happened there. There should be a vote now, though.

Hello, Cachalote ...
Thanks for doing the poll.
However, I hope that when you wrote "Victorian Dollhouse" you were including the entire Victorian Theme (http://gardenwargaming.com/armies/playmo1900/Plymbl1900.html) ... 1989 (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=1989&psortb1=New&psortd1=2&psortb2=id&psortd2=1&start=12&sz=12), 1990 (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=1990&psortb1=New&psortd1=2&psortb2=id&psortd2=1&start=12&sz=12) and not just the Puppenhaus (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=5300-A&cgid=1989).
All the best,
Richard

:wave: hi richard,
:-[ you are right, i meant the entire victorian theme.
in the first 2007 poll i wrote it like that and, before posting the poll, i asked everyone if some corrections were necessary.
so, this time, as nobody corrected me back then, i repeated the mistake.
thanks for allowing me the chance to correct it.
:yup: so, everybody: victorian dollhouse means victorian world.

Not really easy to vote when you collect everything
-
:( i must say that i am a bit dissapointed with this poll.
0) ... and it is not for the fact that my beloved pirates are not "leading" it.
:'( ... it's because there were only 29 voters up untill now.
in 2007 there were 23 voters and the number now should reach 38 - if the same percentage of members were to vote.
there is still a lot of time before the poll closes but, somehow, i guess this poll won't be as "successful" as the first "what are my...." one.
:-[ in a way, i am sort of asking all of you to prove me wrong. :yup:
-
Just looking at all the themes available it is somewhat daunting to have to choose just 3, who gets left out? :'(

Cachalote, I agree with Rasputin and Gepetto!
So, maybe that's the problem with the some of the others who have not voted ... ::)
-
Blast, cachalote! I can't choose only three of'em!!!
Actually, Gustavo said the same thing!
-
Oh, that's not fair, only to chose three! ???
And, Little Jo too !!!
-
i am sure that is not a problem. :yup:
it can take an aditional effort in "thinking" but i am sure choosing 1, 2 or 3 choices isn't that hard... ;)
-
Now I have submitted my votes too!
My votes are all in the "modern themes", although I've a lot of Egyptian set, the modern sets are my favourites :klickywink:
-
I'm afraid that 3 choices are not enough for me :-[! There is no way that I can only pick 3, it's like the Lays potato chip commercial, no body can eat just one, or 3 in this case! When you are a modern theme collector like I am, they all blend together as a complete city environment. You can't have a hospital without the EMS, rescue helicopters, & that connects to the Fire Department, Police Departments, TV crews, city buildings, construction, airport, harbor, farm, automotive, underwater world, new ocean exploration, etc.! I am partial to ALL of the "modern" themes, but what is considered modern? Is not the Antarctica dinosaurs exploration, dinosaur Jurassic era exploration, airport, city, & construction themes considered "modern"? If I was interested in only the "Pirate" theme, it is a very broad self contained theme which can be easy to pick. But if you broke it down like pirate ships, pirate islands, pirate adversaries, pirate singles, pirate rafts, etc., how would you be able to pick 3 out of the group, because they are all connected! If you look at the category list on dbplaymobil, there are many more themes listed than in this poll which is very confusing, so I'm sorry that I can't pick only 3, & betray all of my other favorites :(.
Best Regards,
Bill

I am curious cachalote, how many more themes are there now than there were on your first poll?

i prefer the bumping-head-against-desk method rasputin. :(o):
tears sometimes appear afterwards, it is true. :-[
i guess we all have different "tastes" when dealing with frustration. :yup:

victorian world 9 (10%)
OTHERS

1-2-3 0 (0%)
&
I CAN'T CHOOSE JUST 3, I AM SORRY
You could argument that you're interested in the animals theme, and that it's modern as well, but there's a lot of animals stuff that interests a lot historic & fantasy collectors, so, we share that field ... ;D

Not entirely suprised to see Knights & Castles come out on top, the theme has been around forever, and if I could pick only one this would have to be it.
I love the era, and the variety it offers. Whether you stick to history or incorporate fantasy elements, there's a huge variety of stock figures available, before starting to customise.
-
Hello Cachalote !!! Or should I say bonjour ???
For me, undoubtedly the Victorian Theme which I adore so I voted accordingly...
Karim
-
Actually, I had a hard time choosing as well. In the end I choose Knights, Victorian and Magic.
But I go for the History sets in general (with the exception of all pirates and western sets). In my eyes the Vikings go with the knights. Both are medieval in character.
But I also love my Jungle sets (incl. the Dino's) ... sigh ... decisions, decisions, decisions.

:wave: hello karim, nous pouvions parler français but this forum's official language is english.
i think it is better that way.
if i were to speak portuguese with gustavo, little jo would speak german with customizer, spanish for aleon and argand, dutch for arab warrior and bill balackhurst and...
8} this place would quicly turn into a "babel".
:hmm: if many find it so difficult to choose 3 favourite themes, you can imagine the confusion if hesitations were to be expressed in several languages.
:wow: loved your avatar, by the way...
-
This is becoming a very, very funny thread ... :lol:
Yes, indeed. I have been quite amused. :lol:

Thank you Cachalote, you have made me a happy camper again ;D,....I voted for the new addition of not just 3, 'cause I just couldn't bring myself to leave out all of the many ones I equally like so much :)9!
-
"all's well that ends well" bill. ;D
it's always a pleasure to be able to aid a fellow playmo-friend. :wow:
-
i must confess that i am a bit sad, seeing how the pirates are loosing ground in this forum. :(
thay had 9 votes in 2008 (2nd place right after the knights with 10 votes) and now they only have 6 (6th place ex-aequo with "construction & city services" and "trains")... :'(

What should I say about my animals selection zoo and safari ...
And by the way that's not fair introducing another option (cry-baby option) after I complained but already made my selection. :hissyfit:
Could we introduce another option: can't-choose-3-but-made-my-selection-and-now-want-to-withdraw?
-
well little jo, i have added your option. :yup:
... but it will serve no purpose to you, since you already voted. ::)
i am sorry for unfairness. :-[
next year we will have another go and everything will be o.k.. ;D
... maybe, with the quantity of "complaints" i should start preparing it right now. ;)
-
well little jo, i have added your option. :yup:

It's interesting that the Police theme got no votes, I know we have several ex-Firemen here who collect the fire theme almost exclusively, yet we have no ex-Policemen?
Is it possible that the requirements of the job din't allow for folks who still play with toys?
Also no votes for the Dinosaur theme, despite the big expensive sets! I wonder if we were a bunch of 10 year old boys would this have got a few votes? :lol:

I've got (nearly) all the Dino sets (well, the Jungle ones) and I would have voted for them if I had been allowed more then 3 votes >:(. I do love my Dino's but I love my Knights, Magic and Victorian more. Even so ... for me personally:
- Knights include: Vikings, Barbarians
- Jungle includes: Dino's
- Magic includes: Fairytale
And there are more themes that I more or less consider to be sub-themes of other themes.
I had to approach it in this otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to chose :-[

:woohoo: we cry babies are gaining ground! I make a motion to restart the poll again since the last selection was later introduced! There maybe fellow cry babies that would like to recast their vote because they were "forced :lol:" to choose unfairly at the time this poll was introduced :'( :'( :'( :'(! Just a thought from the original cry baby ;)!

the poll is becoming a success... 42 voters. :yup:
so, if you cry-babies mutineers are trying to take over this "ship", i guess it won't be that easy. :hmm:
desertion would be a wiser choice, buiding another poll "ship" that better suits your intents. :P
i guess count bogro (with a new avatar) just appointed himself captain of this new ship, a vessel of complaints, hesitations, doubts and regrets. 8}
p.s. reading back this post, i have to say that i am just kidding, of course ;)

I tried several times to restrict myself to just three options, but I found out that a more truthful approach would be to opt out up to 3 themes I do not favour....
So I picked the "I CAN'T CHOOSE JUST 3, I AM SORRY" answer.
But how could you force pirates and ghost pirates in the same category? A basic and dear theme together with PM's most hideous abomination?
