My other hobby

What could be better than melting all my hobbies into one... so here it is... I found Playmobil 5404, the Victorian Artist... I'm sure with a few mods I could make him look like EmGee. :)

PlayMo in the USA

I have read, in different Playmo websites and message boards about PlayMo conventions. But they have been all in Europe. Germany, France, a big one in Spain, even in Malta. I am yet to hear or read about anything in the States.
I'm not sure if there fan base in the USA is big enough to warrant such an event. I mean, I know there are some hardcore Playmobil fans state-side. But I wonder if it would be geographically possible to it to take place.
I think it would be a blast, PlayMo fans setting up their dioramas, showing their collections, people trading vintage/rare klickies!
Ahh, the possibilities!

Das Stinkt!

Oh... Why do I do this to myself?
So, I'm browsing the official Playmobil website, looking at the stuff they have available on their online store... and I think "Hmmm let me browse the German site to see what they got". Now I'm depressed! There is sooooo much more stuff... different stuff, cool stuff, stuff I NEED, complete series not available on the US site. Sickening!
Anyway, I doubt I could purchase from their german site... plus shipping would be murder. *sigh*
Here's a few items I NEED, MUST HAVE for my next xmas set up.

Well, I already have this angel and this Santa... but I don't have the organ! Must Have!

A new advent calendar... looks like the North Pole's Toy Store. Yummy!
Must have!

MUST HAVE every single item on this set... specially that sweet xmas tree! It lights up!

Toy Factory (kinda) set... skis, winter apparel, stuff... MUST HAVE!

HUGE angel and Father Xmas! HUGE Must Have! Those wings could come in soooo handy during customization!

Different version of the Three Wise Kings... great new paintjob on the outfits. Must Have!

This one is just sweet... it's like the kiddie version of the Nativity... Gotta have it!

Now, THIS nativity scene rocks! Great looking figures, the manger is plastic (instead of flimsy cardboard)...is that a couldron over a fire over on the right side of the photo?
MUST HAVE!

Good thing is, I have a whole year to get my hands on these beauties... :) But there's Valentine's Day, Easter, Pride Month, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving.... better get busy!!!
