hello and welcome from san francisco. i collect mostly medical things, and have built a 7 story medical center, which i posted here quite a while ago. i began collecting in the late 70s early 80s when playmobil first came to the us, and i bought a few things for my children. i also have a modest victorian house collection, and all of the camping/biking/backpacking sets. the new house looks very tempting, especially since i suspect they will be adding on pieces to it in the future. the group here is wonderful, you will soon see that some of their collections are absolutely mind-boggling.
