Hello everyone!
My name is Anthony and I'm from Canada. I'm 30 years old and have been collecting Playmobil since I was a baby. My older brother had a few sets so I've had Playmobil throughout my whole life.
Although I didn't actively collect for the past 10-12 years, I'd always reminisce by going through the catalogues and by rebuilding some of my older sets. I'd also occasionally go to the toy store and buy one of the smaller sets.
This past August, we had a record rainfall in my city and the basement where all my Playmobil and catalogues were located was flooded. The basement had almost 5 feet of water. I cleaned the toys but the boxes ruined, and even some of the toys were not really safe to keep. The catalogues that I collected over the many years were also destroyed.
It was a very unfortunately event, but at the same time it made me realize how much I miss collecting Playmobil (and the catalogues).
So this brought me to this forum. I look forward to slowly building up my collection once again and enjoying exploring and searching for older sets that bring me back to the good old days.
I look forward to meeting everyone and exploring more of this wonderful hobby with all of you.
Thank you for accepting me as a member and I look forward to it!
