Ok, mine would be http://playmodb.org/setpics/3278a.jpg and http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3733.htm because they were my first introduction to playmobil, and to this day I just love to sit and look at how perfect they are.

Closely followed by: http://playmodb.org/setpics/3145.jpg simply because it was my introduction to the zoo theme, and for no other reason. Really, it kind of stinks and is a terrible excuse for a zoo! :lol:

I really really really loved this one http://playmodb.org/setpics/3223.jpg as a kid and used to play for hours with just that one set. In fact after my other playmobil was sent to the attic as I was getting too old for it, this one stayed down. And it is a rather rare set, too.

And then this one: http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3015.htm just because I think it's awesome!

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.

I am very attached to my klickies. My villagers and royal family all have names, occupations, families...it's a whole little community. I would be very upset if I lost any of them  :(

And people who say 'all of them' are party-poopers  :P

nope, its just that I may have a 'precious' set so many times that its all precious to me... for example I have a MISB 3627 - Merry Men's Feast but I also have each figure of this set three or four times, and 6 barells... so its not easy to say which is more precious... also have a MISB 4506 - Dracula but I have eight more of him opened... and four playmospace stations, not mention how many times I have each spacecraft... I have all the steck houses, 14x3666 castles, etc etc.... I also consider precious a few sets I have only one time, like the schooner or the english guard, the western train or the western trainstation.... Sorry but for me all my playmobil is ''precious''  ;D

The most "precious" item because of sentimental point of view it's the 3445 Prison Tower http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3445.htm it was my first Playmobil toy in 1978....
The most "precious" item because of the value, it's hard to say because I do not really know the price....it could be the "western house" http://www.playmobil.fr/on/demandware.store/Sites-FR-Site/fr_FR/Product-Show?pid=3421-A&cgid=1977 because I have it brand new in sealed box and in a very good condition, it could be also the western train http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/catalogue.html also brand new in sealed box etc...

In fact, all of them are precious...

The practicing knights from my avatar are most precious, they where my first medieval set if you dont count the ghost which could pretty much be tossed into any theme.

From left to right we have: Hendrik, Roderik and Frederik. Back then it seemed like names that would fit in the medieval period.

Hendrik was somewhat agressive and short tempered but still good natured. The horse from this set was his, and just as stubborn. No one else could ride it.
Roderik was pretty much the hero. Chivalrous, polite and smart. Pretty boring when I think of it now, but character flaws is not something a kid thinks about.
Frederik was the one with a good sense of humor, but was often frustrated by his enthusiastic messenger (shown on my collection thread) My sister usually played his part.

There's plenty of tales I could tell about these three knights alone. They have been to greece too, I took them with me on vacation there along with several other knights. In case I got bored around the apartment.
