Warm greetings from Malta, Europe
« on: February 15, 2010, 15:00:46 »
Hi all,

It was pointed out to me that I forgot to introduce myself properly. I guess the excitement got the best of me!  ::)

Well, I'm a father of two, who put his pirate collection in storage when the first one arrived. Now, five years later, I decided to revive my hobby - or atleast try. So far, my eldest has been showing loads of interest in the stuff I revealed, but unfortunately, he hasn't been taking proper care of them, so he ain't getting my REAL treasures, hehe  >:D

Living on this lovely island in the Mediterranean is a blessing, not just because of the awesome weather almost all year around, but also because the clickies we all enjoy so much are made over here (the big stuff, like cars and houses are made elsewhere). The factory is a joy to visit, as they have a lovely play area that is appreciated by kids of all ages (up till 10 or so).  To conclude my introduction, a picture of my darlings at the play area.

Hello, MK ...  :wave:

A BIG welcome from the United States Virgin Islands!

Do they really put the children in the "stocks" if they "borrow" some Playmobil from the play area to take home? ...  ;D

Happy to have you here and would like to read more about your collection. And, also see some photos of your collection as well as some more photos of your trips to the FunPark!

All the best,
Richard

Welcome MalteseKnight!

Malta must be a lovely place to live with both the Klickies and the sunshine!

Hope to see more of your collection, both the treasures and the stuff the boys are allowed to play with.

cheers,  Martin

Greetings MalteseKnight from the Great Pacific Northwest! Glad you chose to join us here and look forward to seeing photos of all your treasures. Is any easier to get the newer klickies being so close to their origin or does proximity to source not really count?

Welcome from the South Eastern USA, Malteseknight! It's great to have you with us finally! I understand about getting little people to respect & appreciate the delicate & intricate Playmobil toys!

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
Well, Gepetto, the store attached to the factory does carry a good amount of blue boxes of all themes, and we usually get some stuff from the US-market as well, while the rest of Europe is limited to their own stuff. However, the Playmo-prices are not considered to be cheap for Maltese wages... So, plenty of stock, but not enough  :2c:  :2c:

On the other hand, 2nd hand clickies are easy to find. (If you need a particular one, drop me a line.) Finding something proper, like a building, boat or car is another story!! Luckily, the other day I bumped into a 3940 (big pirate ship), which is a rare find. That one went to my son to play with  0)
