Hallo. I was born and raised in the eastern part of Germany where Playmobil wasn't available to the general public. Instead, I grew up playing with a handful of Igracek figures and the East German alternative of which I don't even remember who made it.
My first Playmobil was a surprise gift that I got from my mom. It was set number 3300:

However, I do not just collect Playmobil. I also have a pretty decent LEGO and videogame collection. All the things I couldn't have when I was a kid.
