Need some advice

Threaten to switch to L*go.

LOL. I made some of my Playmobil pics on Imgur public, & got some nice comments, but one guy said, that while the pics were good, he didn't understand why anyone liked Playmobil over Lego. I wanted to respond it's because L*go are horrid little bricks, but held my tongue.

Called Playmobil today; my previous parts order was mailed yesterday & they took my order for another replacement part, so it's all good. I must admit it's frustrating to wait for a UPS delivery for several days, then to find an incomplete set which  entails another order & another wait. The new Playmobil is the 3 Wise Kings - I'm getting ready for Christmas. This is the start of pieces for the mantelpiece.

In my opinion the previous Three Kings are the best - in the sense that they look the most like they do in non-PM Nativities: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?set=4886

The first Three Kings are interesting figures but again imho not as Christmassy as version II: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?set=3997

Likewise, I like the figures in Nativity II the best: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?set=4884

 though the building in Nativity III is superior, and the shepherd is as good as shepherd II: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?set=5588

So this Christmas I will be putting out Building III with Figures and Kings II, and probably both shepherds, and even the little one from that kiddy nativity set.

This year will be the first Christmas since Playmobil entered my life. I'll be ordering this next:

It'a start; I can only imagine what I'll have in a few years.

My 5588 came not long ago! It's a fine set. And that lantern!

JLM I love your enthusiasm as someone new to Playmobil!

I mean sure, we're all enthusiastic, but it's kinda cool to witness someone experiencing and finding it all for the first time!

Received my July 20th order for missing parts yesterday (Aug 18); still waiting for another order made over a week ago. Now that I expect a lag time on these orders, it's all good, & nice to know I can get things like this.
