What's on your Christmas List?
« on: November 08, 2009, 20:32:50 »
The year is flying past and drawing to a close so is it to early to ask

What's in your Christmas Stocking?

Do any of you dare to ask for more Playmobil for Christmas? Or do you only get sensible presents at this time of year?

We have a rule in my family that there are no socks, smelly stuff or boring items to be given as presents only fun stuff - toys films games what ever. :gift:

 :help: So two questions really what would you sensibly ask for, for Christmas and what (one item only!) would you like if you could have anything? :yippee: Money no limit rarity not a problem Victorian fence  0) or Japanese roller coaster  >:D  :eh?:

I think I would like some of the new African safari set with the river that can be joined together. I'd like to put it with my Aztec jungle and do a diorama based on King Solomans Mines! :woohoo:

As for a dream item thats a hard choice I think it would be the old western steam engine in black and red the Steaming Mary? with of course lots of track :confetti:

Yippee for Emma  :*) :cham:

This really is a great thread and I love your funny introduction  :love:!!!

Christmas ? I was sprinkling snow over a diorama in early September so what can I say ? From December 1st, I drive everyone nuts at the Hotel with Xmas songs and my popularity reaches the subzero zone until the Holiday Season is over  :lol: :lol:

This year ? A Christmas Miracle has landed in my stocking as I will be off from 18/12 to 02/01 starting with a few days cruise on the Rhine to visit the Christmas Markets of Germany's romantic towns and back home with a suitcase full of gingerbread and artisanal decorations...

Why is this year different ? Because this will be my first Christmas at home in 15 years - Hospitality oblige  :yup: - and this is the only present I am looking forward to with lots of cooking, baking, roaring fireplaces, happy conversations and laughters around a glass of grape juice  ;)

I will definitely bring my favorite two little Victorians aka Mr & Mrs Macclesfield who will be joining in the festivities as their little tales have not only kept me busy since September but also very much happy.

My Playmobil Christmas Wish is not in the shops and neither have I the talent to create it  :(
"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn" with the atmosphere of the South, paddle steamers and St Petersburg will remain a dream for me...

So I will just summarize my feeling by saying "I'll be home for Christmas" :love:

Its great to have you back  ;)

Karim :)

It's about time I finally introduce you to Mr and Mrs Macclesfield - purchased back in 1990 in Carcassonne and who are currently renting their mansion for movies, from what I heard ;) - and who will be in my suitcase this Christmas :

I got my Christmas present lined up back in June, but it's still unopened because it's currently 5000 miles away.

Thanks to Gepetto allowing me to use him as a courier, I have two of these http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/5725.htm ready for my Christmas stocking, the only time Steck castle parts have been produced in this darker stone color as far as I know. One set makes only a tiny or incomplete fortification, but two sets should make a nice small castle.

99.9% of the rest of my collection will still be in mid-Atlantic on a cargo ship for Christmas, so these guys will have to take turns attacking and defending.

Gepetto is also holding a Ghost Ship 4806 for me, and a few extra crew (4800 set), so it may become a Ghost pirates vs. Knights Christmas.

Karim - you do realize that "Germany's romantic towns" are also full of Playmobil don't you. Some poor orphan Playmo wishing for a good home for Christmas  0)
  >:D

There are a handful of things I am looking for, but nothing specific for Christmas. Maybe the TRU plane if the local store ever stocks one out.

If I could get anything it would be the 4024 - Diesel Train Set

If I get any PM for Christmas it will be from myself or people outside of the family who understand my obsession! There was a time 11 years back or so that my family got me PM for Christmas, birthday, & even anniversary gifts, but not any more! My wish list for now would be for 2 x 4472 harbor cargo ships, the nautical exploration series, the current road construction theme, & current airport theme  :prays:! PM me for my address if any one wishes to send me any Christmas gifts, cause I've been really good so far this year  :yup:!

Tim  :wave:

That goes without saying of course and I will most definitely pick up a few companions for Mr & Mrs Macclesfield  ;)

Bill  :wave:

Your post had me in stitches as I just pictured you singing "Santa Baby" :lol: :lol:...

"Think of all the fun I missed, been an awful good Bill
Santa Baby, just slip a couple of harbor cargo ships under the tree

Come and trim my Xmas tree with some PM decorations
next year I can be oh so good if you check off my Xmas list

Santa Honey there's one thing I really do need the nautical exploration series
Been an Angel 0) all year

And fill my stocking with construction & airport themes
I really do believe in you, lets see if you believe in me

Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight..."

And for those of you who prefer the original tune...

Hello Christmas   :wave:

   Well I do not get anything Playmobil for Christmas. Seeing as I buy Playmobil year round it really would not be a very special gift. I did get the boys their sets already . Our oldest will get the entire Egyptian theme, the middle will be getting the entire Ghost Pirate theme & the youngest will get the entire Sea Exploration theme.   

   If there was a set that I could have with out any consideration. Good question  ??? As rare as the 3980 roller coaster is I really do not like how it looks. I like the 3540 house boat but it is too small. I would not want to pick something I could find on Ebay and do not simply buy it due to the prices. I think one that I have never seen for sale and do like and it is just an original color thing is 3277 white construction action set. It is really a hard question as my tastes change with the wind.
