I'm a hoarder for sure but seeing as I already had a diverse collection of other dolls and play sets prior to discovering the joy of Playmobil I won't be collecting much more Playmobil which is difficult as my hand twitches over the mouse when I'm browsing the bay but I have to resist.

Graham how is that working out for you, being married to a fellow collector?

I'm lucky in that my husband supports my love of collecting and playing with dolls and toys and he does help and advise me when I'm constructing a diorama but he does have a tendency to try and take over and that can be quite difficult when you both have different visions  :lol:

I voted for #1 as I have yet to get around to actually selling any Playmobil.  I'd like to move myself into the last group but just don't have the time right now.  I do sell my son's old toys in a local consignment sale and have thought of bagging up the stuff I didn't want from the newer princess & fairy sets - there is a bunch of stuff that I would never miss.
