Playmofriends meet-up August 22 in Luxemburg

[Birdie]

Hi all!

The 2015 Luxplaymodays Playmobil fair is coming up. It's the weekend of August 22nd & 23rd, from 10am to 6pm and from 10am to 5pm, in Luxembourg, right across the Belgian border.

The address is Rue de Selange in Clémency, Luxembourg (it's in the sports hall, you can't miss it). There will be over 15 dioramas and 120 tables for stalls with MISB, MIB and second-hand Playmobil new and old for sale. Most sellers are collectors who also have big supplies of clickies and accessories to rummage through. Every year the venue attracts people from Germany, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg. Entrance is €2,5, for kids it's free.

Here's the official website (in French): http://www.playmo-frenn.lu/lang1/luxplaymodays.html

This year I managed to convince Tahra to come stay with Mitri and me in Antwerp for a five-day holiday, so we can go to the fair together on Saturday. She's bringing two friends, both of whom we also met at the Playmobil Factory Tour last year.
I can't begin to describe how excited I am about this visit   

So now of course we'd love to know if anyone else can make it there this year, so we can have an actual Playmofriends meeting while we're at it.
It is by far the best/biggest annual Playmobil fair in Western Europe that I know of - and I've seen a few. So I hope we can convince you to join us!!! 

We will be there on Saturday from around 10.30am (it's a three hour drive to get there - but well worth it!).

Darn, I'm leaving Europe earlier next month.

Yeah, you twisted my arm    (thank you thank you thank you )

I am SO looking forward to this!

Come on guys, who else?

It looks like a great event though its quite a long way and with me having no car, I can't convince friends or family to go there with me when its that far away. 

Probably better though since I might just spend too much money there if they happen to have many 90's medieval sets.

That is really unfortunate

Yes medieval is always well represented 

I'd offer you a ride if you could manage to take a train to Antwerp, but I'm afraid the car is already full with us five.
Maybe someone else from The Netherlands is going, though?

You can't pay by card/credit card there, so you can only spend what you have on you. Although I do remember one time when we drove round the village until we found an ATM

ow wow! yess, we are coming aswell and making it a weekend trip! So, where do you want to meetup?
We are coming by car. Very nice to hear that Tahra and her friends are coming too. PlayHes is excited and so am i, little reunion :-)

We could come to your home and drive on together? that way we can take a peek in your basement too 

(edit: btw we are driving down there on friday the 21st.)

[Birdie]

Well you're always more than welcome to have a look around here, for sure 
But as far as driving together, that might make it more complicated than it needs to be. We'll have to drive to my parents-in-law's house on the way to switch to a more comfortable car, and with the pregnancy I might need multiple toilet stops etc. Plus, it's more relaxed if we can leave whenever we're ready, without having to worry if we're early or late.

But we could meet up at noon over at the fair, maybe have lunch together?

I will tell my company - they'll be delighted as well!

you could tag along with us, but we're going friday untill sunday. Long weekend trip ;-)

Thanks for the offer, but an entire weekend would be a bit too long for me. I'd just be there for the fair after all.
