I hope that they are happy with my collection....

Lots of stuff like a whole medieval village including several castles is wrapped up in huge moving boxes.

There's real concern at Playmobil headquarters about resellers on eBay and elsewhere. I don't know any details about what all is behind their concern. Fortunately the collecting community and Playmobil have come up with a solution that makes everyone happy.

SO far I have only heard of this happening with German buyers. Are people from other countries being asked the question also?

Well, lately I'm mostly ignored. I don't know if they don't get the emails, or are really ignoring me..  Which reminds me. Gonna resend WITHOUT the attachment this time - but THEY asked for the list as an excel file. I REALLY don't get it.

I don't get it. First, what do the pics prove? Could be anyone's. Could be full of stuff to sell. Whatever.

Secondly, and more important... if they worry so much about resellers, SELL THE STUFF THEMSELVES. DUH. But no, they don't like money. They prefer foreign buyers to pay a lot more (not to mention the trouble and sometimes impossibility of getting the sets - unless we find a helpful german member) to someone else than having them give THEM money. Go figure.

Oh, and third... WHY IN HADES SHOULD THEY CARE. If I buy something from them, it's MINE. To do as I please.

It's all a freakin mystery to me :(

Quite interesting. Strange that they are so concerned over it, but I'm glad they are willing to make an exception for us collectors. It's quite reasonable of them to accept a few pics to prove our status.

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 would prefer to get Playmo....not mails asking for pics.
We are paying for that stuff.....

They should sell it all across the world and ebay would not see such crazy prices....

small part  :o....How large is your collection?

But I'm happy, because I'm not the only one who have tons of Playmobil, my wife thinks that I'm crazy, but not my kids  :lol:

Same thoughts here my friend!!! :lol:
