P L A Y M O B I L

Having just woken up from a post-Flohmarkt Schlaf I've been half-day dreaming about something I saw on another stall, a huge old set of the Playmobil Polar Station range.

Two large fruit boxes of loose items: labs, figures, kayaks, a plane, yellow snow buggies, buildings and a really large wide-tracked snow cat.

Here's a similar bundle I saw online.

I was sorely tempted but there's no way I could fit two more crates into our already planned to be crammed car when we return to Blighty.

Besides, I'm not a Playmobil collector but if I was then German Floeh und TroedelMarkte strike me as being extremely worthwhile.

There are entire stands rammed with the range, on the tables, on the floor and on shelving!

I know very little about Playmobil alas but the magpie in me is attracted to old shiny toys and it's such a seductive line.

I walked away from the Polar station.

Another Geobra toy I liked there was an old plastic angular cash register.

I picked it up and embarrassingly the ringing plastic drawer shot open and all the play money fell out into a mixed lot beneath! 

I retrieved it all and scurried away in search of the Kaffee stand!
