Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of playmobil. As to your concerns about how other people think about you and your hobbies, life is too short to stop doing what makes you happy, its not like you are hurting puppies or something sick like that  ;)

 its a toy and it brings you joy  :confetti:

I can relate to this, my hobby is still quite secret and I have everything stored away when not setting something up for pictures.

Sadly the general mentality in the Netherlands lacks emotion, and theres a lot of narrow minded people around who wont even try to understand anything thats not part of their daily life.

Considering that I am currently unemployed, I'd rather get a job first before really opening up about my hobby. It's odd that the more succesfull someone is in life, the more tolerant people seem to become of their quirks.

If you are poor, you are "crazy". If you are rich, you are "eccentric".  ;) Such is society...

I completely agree with Rhalius...  and welcome from Amsterdam too! Well, three people in this topic from Amsterdam... what does it say about this city (or this topic ;)). My Playmobil is all sorted out in boxes so I can easely find everything I need for a set up for my comic (The Story of Randolph in the story telling area). Unfortunately, I don't have a room for my own so have to tidy up afterwards, lack of space and a two year old daughter who has her own plans with the klickies are the reason for that. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy... 8}

Kind regards, Lynx

I've just been tucking new purchases among my childhood collection and hoping nobody notices. I had the pretzel seller out one day, and my sister said, "Oh, you found your leprechaun." She is apparently going under the impression that he's been part of the collection for 15+ years. I thought it best not to explain to her that neither he nor any fat green klicky nor any tricycle was part of my childhood collection. He's only been here a couple months.  :shhhh:

Welcome from Southern California! :wave:

You have nothing to be embarrassed about.  I started rebuilding my collection when I was in my late 20s. :)
