Hello from the Netherlands
« on: October 11, 2009, 15:10:46 »
Hi,

Thought i'd pop in to say hi  :wave:
33 year old single dad from the Netherlands. My 3 year old boy inspired me back into playmobil again.
We got our old playmobil down from the attick at my mom's and he adores it. Most of it is over 25 years old though  ;D

Well i came here through the collectobil site, which sadly enough doesn't seem to have been updated in a while.
Hopefully i can contribute something here ;-)

Hello and welcome from soon to be rainy California  :wave:

How great that you were able to keep it . Those are the sets lots of us here adore as well .

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Welcome from the UK,  :wave: you'll find you have some fellow Netherlanders here  to welcome you too.

Collectobil has n't been updated for some time because Bart who runs it went to work for Playmobil and hasn't time now to run the website as well.

The site for parts information is playmoDB - see the links section.

A warm welcome from sunny Windsor UK  :wave:

What a wonderful treasure to re-discover in your Mums attic both for yourself and your little bundle of Joy !!!

Especially since these old sets are Collectors must have these days !!!

I specialize in the Victorian Theme.

Have a wonderful time !!!

Welcome from the South Eastern USA, mfrankena! We're glad you, & your son are with us!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Hello, Martin ...  :wave:

A big welcome from Fort Lauderdale, Florida!

When you have time, I think that many of us here at Playmofriends would love to see some photos of your Playmobil treasures from the attic.

All the best and thank you for joining us.

Richard
