Hi, I'm back!
« on: November 29, 2015, 22:54:54 »
I haven't been on this board for quite a while.  I'm Ed, from Maine, in the States.  Been collecting Playmobil since I was a kid (I think I got my first set back when Mattel had the license)  I now have three kids, 4, 6, and 8, and while L*** is a strong competitor in this house, they love the Playmobil, and I will be unveiling three new advent calendars on Tuesday. 

By the way, I realize the last time I was actively posting, my middle boy had been recently diagnosed with brain cancer.  I am happy to report that he finished treatment two years ago, and his latest scan a couple weeks ago shows that he remains cancer free.  Other than some mild hearing loss (chemo is nasty stuff) and a couple battle scars, he is a normal and bright kindergartner.

My kids are at the perfect age to start sharing my collection with them.  A lot of toys pass through this house, but they gather around playmobil shows up on a rainy afternoon...

Glad to hear that news!  Welcome back! 

I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)
