Hello From North Carolina
« on: May 02, 2013, 00:28:10 »
Hi, My name is Paul. I am a six year US Army Veteran and recent college graduate. My wife and I have four children: 13, 5, 2, and 5 months.
So, I know very little about playmobile. But I have a 5 month old son who just had surgery and we are trying to decorate his room. He has to wear a helmet for the next year, and I thought a knight theme would be fun.  I have always like playmobil, but haven't collected it. Usually I just buy action figures. But I thought that playmobil would cover lots of themes for him later, and the knights would be fun with his helmet. They are friendlier than legos (for small children), and star wars figures are getting to steep, and are fairly limited on play value. At least playmobil has play-sets.  I have picked up a few lots of knights online, and we have a doug and melissa castle, but I would like to find a nice playmobil one. The only problem is I have no idea about what I am looking at. The members here seem friendly and informative. I have some questions I will post as I get familiar with the site. Until then, if I am quiet, it is because I am learning

Hello and :welcome: from Louisiana! So great to have you with us, and what a wonderful idea to decorate your son's room with knights who wear helmets like him. Some friends of mine had a little girl who had surgery and was required to wear a helmet for a year as a baby, and they painted hers to look like a ladybug, and as she grew they painted her second one as a bumblebee. It was very cute!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Welcome from England!

Don't be shy about asking questions, we are all learning and Playmobil changes every day with new sets and figures being issued, not to mention the customs and dioramas created by fans like us!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

 :welcome: from Knoxville, Tennessee!  So glad you've joined!  The knights are great and my almost 2 yr old loves taking the helmets off and putting them back on over and over again.
