Hello!


Being a Playmobil-lover I always felt somewhat to be the odd one out at AFOL meetings. For many years Playmobil has been one of my most important inspirations for building with LEGO. There are so many things in the Playmobil universe that were never made by TLC, and a not too small amount of my own MOCs is based on archetypes from Playmobil. However, amongst other AFOLs it always seems to be a bit out of place to like both LEGO and Playmobil.

For this reason I’d very much like to have a place to meet other devoted LEGO supporters who also have a weakness for Playmobil to share our thoughts, to feel understood and not singled out. It would be great if it was possible to incorporate a newsgroup lugnet.playmobil where we playmo lovers could swap our ideas and feelings for Playmobil without distracting anybody else from the main topic of this great community site. Of course everybody would be wholeheartedly welcome to chime in and feel at home even if he/she/undetermined doesn’t have any feelings - positive or negative - towards Playmobil or has never had experiences with Playmobil at all.

Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated as well as any form of support!


Bye
Jojo

(...) I wonder if this is a common theme. I'm not a Playmobil lover, but my wife is. But she can play with LEGO too. I do enjoy watching her and sometimes I like getting involved when she is playing. I wonder though, how my kids will grow up, seeing (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.fun.community, lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.people, lugnet.org, FTX)

(...) I enjoy browsing the Playmobil section in our local Playvalue store, thinking if only LEGO make good looking sets like them, and OTOH how much they are becoming Playmobil like with giant special pieces... Yes Playmobil have many good sets and (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, lugnet.fun.community, lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.people, lugnet.org, FTX)

[newsgroup list trimmed] (...) Does Playmobil produce Lego system-compatible elements? If so, such discussion would be entirely appropriate in lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, and if there is enough interest and traffic in that group, perhaps creating (...)

I've been kicking an idea around for a while, and I wanted to put it out to the community: I'd like to start an organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) AFOLs. A lavender brick society, if you like. It's seemed to me that (...)
