Impression of Playmo-fair at Iserlohn

[matchboxluc]

Hello there,

I've returned from my visit to the Playmo-fair at Iserlohn in Germany (near Dortmund) and it was very nice! German fairs are always very good, as you will see in the following pictures I've taken (I've placed them on Imageshack, so I can post them all at once):

the entrance:


another guard:


near the entrance was a multi-story showcase with belle-epoque figures:





this is what it looked like from 1 side:


and the other end:


an illuminated showcase with a desert diorama:



some pictures of the merchandise:





there were also some nice open dioramas, like horse stables:




a shipyard:


a forest diorama:



a medieval tournament:



a magic forest:



and a western town:


Oh, and this is what I gathered: a MIB pirate set 3480, a MIB cattle set 3275, an Elisabeth or "Sissy" figure 6100 (I think it is a limited figure issued for a beneficiary action for the German heart center) and a sticker-story book "Blacky is moving" containing a story book and a sticker sheet with an "empty" belle epoque house in which they can be applied more than once.


All in all a day well spent!

Thanks, Jean-Luc ...

Here in the States most of us can't imagine open boxes full of loose Klickys and parts. It's almost mind-boggling to think about having so much to be able to buy for customizing!

For me, it's probably good that I can only look at your excellent photographs. I'm afraid that if I were actually there, that I would spend so much money that I would have to end my retirement and go back to work ...

All the best,
Richard
