displaying seems to be the most popular use of PM so far :D

as for playing - what does your playing normally consist of? i sometimes play with them too, but i end up cracking up about my klicky 'dialogues' (which are normally pretty adult-oriented 'conversations' and situations... :lol: ) lol :-[

Other, Fulfilling an empty void that was left in me from a very young age due to my parents never guiding me into playmobil purchases. Now I have to over compensate and collect everything in multiples  :loco:

lol ;D

I'm of the displaying kind as well. I guess its for the creative part of it.

Mad Nick
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Do you really think there are that many posters? I only have a dozen or two? I never really checked

I like the idea of making fullsized posters out of catalog images
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
