Thanks everyone! It's good to be here  ;D

Nice to see another English person here Flatcat! I live in London, but also spend a lot of time in Shropshire.

Hello and welcome Toni from the West coast of California

You will find good company in here with the Roman collecting, next you will need to add the Egyptians  ;)

 Hi Toni,  :wave:
Welcome from Southern Scotland  :scotflag:
It's nice to see another UK member here.
If you spend time in Shropshire you are part of the way to Scotland - look out for next year's Kirkbean Exhibition - we'd love to meet you there  :)

Hey welcome from Belgium, Antwerp!  :wave:

Great to read about the way you became a collector, as Viviana said.
Dimitris and I studied classical history too  :D Would love to see that Julius Caesar scene, by the way! We have a little scene set up here from 'Alexandria' (adding the Egyptian theme to the Roman one helps to create some 'volume', as there are not nearly enough civilian Roman sets around).

I really enjoyed reading your intro post, Toni - and great to have you here on the boards.  I think I detect classical symptoms (no pun intended) of the slippery slope to playmoholism there :D  Not sure if your historical interests sway towards medieval and Egyptian or Victorian, but there are plenty of gorgeous historical themes just waiting to suck you in :D

*waves from rainy Cumbria* (not as close to Skypurr as we at first thought, and quite a way away from Flatcat ;) )

Enjoy PlaymoFriends!  :wave:

Oh I'm REALLY interested in the medieval period.....I really like the look of the knights  :love: I really have to be careful not to buy too much though as I don't have the houseroom. I wish I had a big, open attic or something as it would be such fun to create a whole town.

I've seen one Roman civilian family selling on Ebay recently, but I think it sold for quite a lot. I'd love to get hold of that at some point though. The Three Wise Kings set has been demoted, stripped of their crowns and jewellery and are currently portraying Christian martyrs  ;D Plus, the child Mary from the smaller Nativity set is now Caesar's slave.

Hello and :welcome:, Toni, from Ontario, Canada! The Romans are also one of my favourite themes. I was quite disappointed to see them being discontinued after such a short shelf life. :(
