Hello from Yorkshire
« on: September 03, 2010, 20:47:27 »
Hi all  :wave:

I am a keen fan of Playmobil who has been collecting a ranger of sets for my two kids for around five years.  We began with Knights (Dragon Castle) but also spread into Pirates and then a range of modern City toys (Police, Rescue, Construction and shops etc.). 

Thanks to e-bay we picked up a good deal of bargains including some complete older sets.  I am afraid that, as far as my son is concerned, PM has struggled against Star Wars and Ben 10.  However, it still gets taken out of the attic and played with.  It still appears on birthday and Christmas lists so I still get to check out bargain opportunities.

Knights are the best of the Playmobil sets I think... ;D
They started my collection and now I'm totally hooked.
(And loving every second of it. :lol: )

Hi - Its me again.

Just to add a few further details.  I live in Knaresborough, a town with a medieval royal castle (in ruins) so I guess this inspires the interest in the Knights/Medieval sets.  Seehttp://www.knaresborough.co.uk/castlefor more details.  I reckon WarriorOfToys will get a thrill from this.  I would quite fancy recreating the castle in PM but that would involve a serious investment.  For anyone interested in castles I would recommend "Castle: A History of the Buildings that Shaped Medieval Britain" by Marc Morris.  It ties in with a tv programme made for Channel 4 in the UK.

It seems Playmofire is a near neighbour.

Awww, I was sure that with your name you must be from Holmfirth!
I remember visiting Knaresbrough years ago and seeing Mother Shipton's cave.
