Hello from Down Under!
« on: January 23, 2008, 14:53:39 »
Thought I'd bite the bullet and join a forum/group, only hope it does not encourage me to buy too much more PM.  I have years of work ahead to sort all mine into sets!  My Victorian is completed now, have even finished add on customised sets and buildings. Most of the Modern House and Shops are done (the sets I let children play with, so always re sorting).  I am starting a large Summer Holiday scene next, have campervans and tents, several 'A' frame houses and house boats, will add some log cabins and watercraft, almost looking forward to it, only problem/concern is finding time to get fully involved, worried I will become overly obsessed!!  Great saying hi to you all, SQ.

Welcome from the UK.   :wave:  Getting overly obsessed is par for the course with PM.  Looking forward to seeing your Victorian and City Life setups and the holiday scene when it's finished (or why not show us it as it is being built?)

Hi SuziQu,

and welcome to our little spot of the net.
I second Playmofire - we would love to see pics of your collection!

... only hope it does not encourage me to buy too much more PM.  ...

Don't bet on it  ;D

Hi SuziQu,

 Welcome to Playmofriends.

 Your holiday scene sounds like it's going to be a rather large setup.

Hi Suzi! :wave:

Welcome to PlaymoFriends! It's wonderful to meet you. :)

I guess you rely on eBay for most of your Playmobil purchases, or are you lucky enough to have a stockist near where you live? We usually hear that Oz is a bit of a desert where Playmo is concerned. :(
(I'm originally from Tassie. I wasn't really aware of Playmobil until I came to live in the UK, 15 years ago.)

Have fun collecting and being a part of our fan community! :*)

Most of us keep children away from our Playmobil to avoid this problem! They can buy their own when they are earning, meantime we're trying to buy up all the stocks so they don't see it in the shops.

Welcome Suzi!

Martin you are tooooo funny! Believe me that's why I bought the modern houses, not really into it, besides I 'ripped off' anything that would assist the Vic Village!  We have a very nice little cheese board and platter of cheeses on the 'patio', lots of ice-creams for the children and the list goes on, bread, cakes, meat and so forth, figure the kids would be thrilled with the house sets and if I hid the boxes what would they know?  (also took all their blue flowers!!!!!!!)  Besides the're stray kids, mine have the works!
My picture will not add as an attachment so will investigate an album later, cheers SQ

Thanks for the welcome guy's, not sure where my replies are going so sending this one again, a bit dyslexic (well very), so fully lost in the threads and msg's!  It's great meeting you all and receiving such a warm welcome! SQ

Hi Suzi :)

If you click here it should take you to a page in your profile section called "Look and Layout Preferences"

http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=379;sa=theme


Click the box next to "Return to topics after posting by default." Then click the "Change profile" button at the bottom of that page. This will ensure you always return to the topic you last posted in and will be able to see how your reply looks before moving on.

I find this setting very useful, so maybe you will too. :)
