Hello from Australia!!!
« on: December 31, 2013, 03:18:28 »
Hey everyone!  :wave:

I am a self-employed graphic designer and live near Sydney in Australia. I have 2 children (who are 4 & 6). I grew up with Playmobil (though I seem to only remember having the one set, remember the hospital set from the late 70's 80's?) I also have German heritage, so of course appreciate the German connection to Playmobil.

As a designer I love the clean lines of Playmobil, the high-quality of all the sets, and attention to detail. I LOVE that there is no cross-promotion within the Playmobil brand with movies, tv shows etc. I really reeeeeally love that.

Since having children I have been able to indulge once again in Playmobil, and needless to say the kids love it. We have a pretty wide selection of sets that get a good rotation.

As far as I go, I have limited myself to collecting the figure/klickys in my home office. They just make me so happy.  :-[  I have found the thrill of chasing down all the mystery figures a little bit addictive! I love the idea of swapping duplicate klickys with others if that is a possibility.

Looking forward to seeing all your awesome stuff, those of you with more time to 'play' with Playmobil than I have! Should be fun!!!

Mimma  ;D

Hello and :welcome: from Louisiana, USA! Great to meet you. I couldn't agree more about the lack of licensed themes. Kids can use their own imaginations when playing with playmobil.

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.
