I mostly collect klickies and have been displaying all of them out in my BILLY bookcase bought from IKEA (Which is of pooooor quality) and now have reached the threshold and I am facing the dilemma of taking some of them away from the case. But I really love them all and apartments in Hong Kong are really not spacious enough for another displaying area. Luckily it is still in the first half of 2010 (technically), and there is no new release yet. But time flies and in no more than several weeks I will get something from the seller.  :-\ And let alone the new specials and new figures. Arrrgghhh......I feel bad to put the modern families, kids and adults in the box :'(

I feel your pain but I think you need to approach it a bit like Toy Story.

Eventhough your klickies will be put in a box, their brothers might have been sold to a destructive kid or an older kid who tossed them in a box and never looked at them again. Yours at least had some time on display next to their friends. As long as you take them out once in a while, maybe have a rotating "themed" shelf, I know they will not fault you for being put away for extended periods.

 ;) :lol: ;)

I was having my eyes half closed to avoid spoiler from you, luckily there is not one. I am still waiting for the Toystory 3......not opened in Hong Kong yet. Heard even guys drop tears for the ending :'(

Setting them up takes a lot of time, let me show you guys my cllection later :wave:

It is sad when you have to put some klickies away...I gather the ones I do not want displayed any more, place then in a small plastic zip bag and put them all together in a comfortable big box!

I am not sorry for them because they had their time and they will have good company in the box, as Gis points out, bvut most importantly, I do not miss them as I usually have three or four of each!!!! ;D ;D ;D

This is the main display. My collection is very small, just pale in comparison to you guys'. Hope you all like it.

Any playmobil collection is unique and there are many things to OOO and AAA over in yours.

I love the way you displayed the Astronaut and the way the divers are hangings from the sealing is really clever.

If you really want to give your klickies the spotlight maybe it's time for the Yellow House to be moved into storage for a little while.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Thanks, but I own that yellow house since I was 3, so it means a lot to me. Luckily I didnt throw it away during my playmobil dark period that last more than 20 years. That is a diver, not astronaut. I am still trying to trade with someone on the forum for one special astronaut. This is an advertisment. 8-)

I understand, it's just that when you can't have it all you need to prioritize. And very few people can have it all ;)

Luckily my PM dark period lasted only about 6 years or so. I am a packrat by nature so all my toys are still around somewhere :-)

That is a diver, not astronaut.

My bad, I thought it was different because you showcased it differently.

Which one are you looking for?
