Howdy from Chicago
« on: September 24, 2010, 02:45:08 »
Just wanted to drop in and formally say "hi."

I'd stumbled here a few times previously looking for info and sets and RC conversions of Playmobil boats, and figured it was time to join in the fun.

I've known about Playmobil since I was a kid, but never owned any until just this past Christmas when I purchased some for my kids.  I was so impressed by the attention to detail, I just had to get some of my own.  I started with the nautical expedition stuff before deciding I really wanted to focus of the pirates.  It's made for a lot of fun with my 7-year-old son and 3-year old twins.  My 11-year-old daughter is mortified her dad still plays with toys.   ::)

My other collecting habit is Transformers...I was fortunate to hang on to all of mine from '84 and up.

Here are a couple pics from our Florida vacation this year...Playmo made the trip with us.

 :welcome: Welcome to Playmofriends from South Carolina USA, racerx :wave:! I like the pictures of your Playmobil in action! I have a question in regards to the Nautical Exploration theme ships. I have 2 & find they do not float up right in my pool very well. They take on water & capsize. Does this happen to yours too?

Welcome from the wild, wet and very windy east coast of North Yorkshire in the UK. 

Thanks for the great photos.     I especially like the underwater one.  :wave:

Ha ha! :D This is probably because you have only recently started buying Playmobil and playing with it. In a few years time, she will hopefully be used to it and even helping you to expand the collection. ;)
