My parents learned that lesson on my brother who was seven years older than me. Then they went to the opposite extreme with me.  :P

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Looks pretty darn good.  I know I would have loved that many Pirates to play with as a kid.

Did you happen to get the 4444 at Winners?  I would highly recommend the Lighthouse 4294 and the 4139 Compact Pirate Island.  If I may suggest Indigo/Chapters for the Lighthouse as theirs is $5 cheaper than Playmobil.ca's price.  You can also get a $5 off coupon online if you sign up for their emails.

The pirate lagoon will be definitely add a lot to play and the stronghold can be added to your dock to expand it.

@Wesley,

No I looked long and hard for the 4444 at Winners but no dice. Playvalue has it for 19.99$ I may pick it up from them.  The lighthouse is high on the list of things to add this year, I know Chapters has it for 59.99$, if I don't get it in the US (49.99$ US) I'll pick it up at Chapters.  Call me a traitor but I don't buy retail in Canada unless I have to these days.

Keep in mind I am living my Playmo dreams vicariously through a 3 year old and we only got our first set (4444) in July, so there is only so much I can put on the floor without feeling like I am spoiling him.
Ha, same here on all counts (except the first set was 3185/3352 in October).  It's nice to not be the only one in that boat.  His/our collection also has a mostly vehicular focus so far, but no pirate ships yet. 

Your fleet is lovely, and given your son's play focus it sounds like you're managing the pace of expansion very well.

I wish you good retail luck either in the US or locally.  Chapters often sends out one-time, limited window (like, 2 or 3 days, often only in-store but sometimes online too) discount coupons or codes, but I keep noticing them in my email a day or two too late.  Mastermind Toys had a 15% off all Playmobil sale + free shipping back in October, before I'd discovered this place, if it happens again I'll certainly post it.

Couldn't call you a traitor - that's only a wise thing to do.

The only person that would call you a traitor is someone who has been brainwashed or trying to sell you something.  There is not one business in this country (and that includes the government - at all levels) that does not buy everything they can outside of Canada for a cheaper price.  There is no reason they can even remotely say we should by Canadian when they can't even lead by example.
