What is your best playmobil moment??

[Indianna]

These comments all bring joy to my heart! 

Elric:  playing Playmo with the kids is probably my favortite Playmo memory - it is wonderful!
Mina:  your husband sounds wonderfully sensitive to your wishes - he's a keeper!
Kenc:  I am so happy that you found your lost Playmobil!  I remember when you told us that it was lost - so sad 

My best moments are most like Elric's but here's a "worst:  about 12 years ago I failed to buy an open but complete western train set priced at $99 on the post-Christmas clearance table at a local toy store.

It has to be on 31st July this year when all my Playmo displays were set up in the village hall and the first visitors came through the door and just stood there looking round in amazement and smiled!
Even though I'd been up all night all my tiredness vanished! 
Everyone who came in smiled - the atmosphere was amazing.

You don't like the Egyptians? 

Alex, you personally may not like much that Playmobil have produced in the last few years, but the vast majority of people here do. I think you need to adjust your thinking towards the product if you're not going to be destined for a lot of disappointment.

My then girlfriend (now my wife) found a Set #3286 Pirate Flagship, which had been off the market for about Ø2 years at that point. It wasn’t new, and had a couple parts missing, but she found it (and largely intact), then bought her for me (I named her EAGLE).

¿Did I mention she’s my wife now?

Of course, what else should you do!

  Reminds me............ ah, it's all Rasputins fault! Isn't it?

I didn't mind the Egyptians. The only thing that bugged me a bit was the light blue colour they used for the trims. I didn't like that, but apart from that, I bought most of the smaller sets.

I have three, really.

The first was when I received my very first set as a child, an adorable little covered wagon set. I thought it was the most wonderful thing in the whole world. I don't think there's any way to describe how I felt at that moment.

The second was years later, after my years of being "too old" for toys were over, when I decided to see if playmobil was on the internet now!  Of course, it was, and I was so overwhelmed by how much it had expanded since I was a kid.

The third was when I saw the first pictures of the new safari sets with hyenas and ostriches. I literally couldn't breathe I was so excited. I almost fainted, I think! My husband was sitting where he couldn't see my computer screen, and he thought I was dying or something.
