Post by: kaethe on September 08, 2009, 20:12:29: hello and welcome from san francisco. i collect mostly medical things, and have built a 7 story medical center, which i posted here quite a while ago. i began collecting in the late 70s early 80s when playmobil first came to the us, and i bought a few things for my children. i also have a modest victorian house collection, and all of the camping/biking/backpacking sets. the new house looks very tempting, especially since i suspect they will be adding on pieces to it in the future. the group here is wonderful, you will soon see that some of their collections are absolutely mind-boggling.

I have to admit, I'm primarily a LEGO Fan as that takes up most of my money. I primaily got interested in Playmobil ever since I got a Modern House for $5 at a Garage Sale. That made me want to get out my childhood playmo, then I started looking at the older catalogues and got the Transit buses I never got as a kid from ebay (I had a feeling they were only released on Europe, as I've never seen on on ebay in North America?) My mind boggling Lego collection takes up much of my closet and several shelves, but I do reserve the top of my dresser for the modern house. Admitedly I have a police station now and the vehicles (Including 3 buses) are getting stacked on top of one another. I've seen playmobil enthusiats when I've done LEGO setups out in the valley but didn't know there was a huge internet following (but not as quite as big as AFOLs, at least in the USA and Canada) I've told some of my LEGO freinds about my braching into playmobil but I hope I have enough time and money to appreciate both!

If you came back from Oregon I hope you had a chance to stop at Finnegan's in Portland, excelent toy store. I am sure there are more than a few Legos hanging around in our respective homes but Playmobil takes pride of place, look forward to seeing you around the forum.

Post by: portside3seat on September 29, 2009, 00:10:59: Hello from Ottawa. There is excellent playmobil shopping here if you ever come to Ottawa (Playvalue has oodles of discontiued stuff). Our playmobil is currently Victorian, fairies and medival but some modern stuff too. I also love Lego but am limited by the sets as I have 2 girls who like lego but are pretty particular about what sets. So Harry Potter, Belville and some of the new City stuff is great (have you seen the camper bus?)

I've been on playvalue's website and considered ordering. How good of a deal are they and how much do they charge for shipping? Yes, I practically have all of the Lego city stuff that currently out. Just waiting for a TRU sale to scoop up the Truck Garage and Windturbine Transport.
