Hi, I am new to Playmofriends, I am based in the UK.
My children, my wife and I have been fans of Playmobil since 1993 when we got our first set- 3495 (hospital room). Since then, we have added to our collection as well as our family several times. With our youngest child aged 6, we are still acquiring Playmobil for the children (latest set was 5014, dinosaurs), and my wife and I have become keen collectors too and have been doing the ebay thing, acquiring several 'job lots' to sort as well as trying to replace those bits which have been eaten by the vacuum cleaner over the years!
I have found Heather Patey's PlaymoDB a fantastic resource for tracking down sets and parts. I hope to be able to help fellow enthusiasts by contributing to discussions on this forum in the future, as well as posting some queries of my own.
