Congratulations Surfergirl!  The first 1000 sets are the hardest, right Richard? After that it gets a little easier.

Could you give us a list of your sets with pictures? Just kidding, good job and have fun with yur new goodies.

The problem with this is, there are many more Playmobil collectors in Europe, & abroad than here in the US. Even if we could start a collectors gathering here, it would not be as dedicated as in those places  :'(.

I know what you mean, Bill. I don't seem to be able to make it to them either. I've only been to a (very) few of those meetings and except for one or two they've been always been rather small affairs (but extremely enjoyable, to be honest).

It is so concentrated here @ Playmofriends with collectors that I forget that I am probably the only person within hundreds of miles that even collects Playmobil in my part of the world  :-\, besides finding someone who collects the same themes, & willing to admit they have a passion for Playmobil too  :-[!

hey guys,

would you believe that i do have them listed (that makes them easier to count lol :lol:)   not on any fancy computer tho, just on paper in a special folder.

they are spread over many themes although mostly modern living and a complete set of victorian. unusually for a collector, i only have a handful of knights or pirates, and there are a few duplicates but only maybe 10.

i have had Playmobil since 1980 when i was just 5 although i wouldn't say that it really became a collection until i was really too old to play with it... but still wanted an excuse to buy it.  the ones i had as a kid are mostly unboxed, but at a guess i would say that around 900 of them are boxed.  there is a room in my house that i keep them all in, stored in clear reallyusefulboxes (84L) and i like to go in there after a days work just to chill out.

my main aim next is to acquire a 5ft lifesize Playmo person...i reckon i can just about fit one into the room also to guard the collection lol  :lol:

best regards,
claire

I get the chilling out in a room surrounded by Playmobil, Claire, but I'm not too old to still play with Playmobil yet, being only 42  ;D so most of my stuff is unboxed.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought that we were celebrating the announcement of Playmobil's 1000th set!  Then I found out that Claire was celebrating her own triumph! That is really amazing!   :wow:

   :confetti:   :confetti:  Congratulations, Claire!  :confetti:  :confetti:

1000! 8} :P :love:

Wow!
That's great! I have about ay ... 15 sets (that came in boxes) and a lot of bits, that came some other way ;D

I think I'm going to count them up, to have the exact number ... It'll be interesting to reach ## 100, 500, 1000! :D

(I can't count the ones of my childhood, though ... 'Cause I neither have them, nor would remember them all ... However I've been thinking about making such a list ... It might be possible to reach a close amount ... Even with duplicates. (I had very few duplicates, in childhood, but a few ...))


CoNgRatZULaTzIONS!!!,
btw :yup:

 :yippee: :woohoo: <:> :**: :confetti: :*) :clap: :)9
 :cheerlead: :bunny: <:> :!: :woohoo: :confetti: :yippee: :(o):
 :*) <:> <:> :confetti: :woohoo: :yippee: :cheerlead: :yippee:


& thanks for sharing such extraodinary deed!
It gives us all kind ideas about our own collections!


Cheers!

Are we ever too old  ;)? I can sort of see myself in a wheel chair sitting at a table surrounded by my collection, & grandchildren's children saying; I remember when,............you get the picture  :P!

I get that same feeling Bill  ;)

I will try to post some pics soon...its a long room and because of the boxes piled up both sides it makes it quite hard to get a decent pic of all the boxes at the same time. i will do my best though  :crossed:
