To ask for a doll house for Christmas for myself

[whatsthebigdeal]

Ok so partner asks me what I want for Christmas
I have everything the only thing I want is a doll house, but the playmobil one
Looking online adult collectors of playmobil is a massive thing

I love reminiscing over childhood things, I know it's a bit silly but I would love to collect all the people and bits
I haven't asked yet, is it too silly to ask for?
I already collect cuddly toys and used to collect Lego sets as an adult, is this any different?
Probably going to get flamed for being a weirdo but hey ho
(And I've got no kids I can buy it for)

Ahh, the Playmobil royal wedding - 2011

Is it just me or does this look a little rude at first glance?

Haha, I love that, Purple!

Remembering the PlaymOlympics, 2012...

and this year's Playmo referendum.

This Twitter parody account is an absolute hoot if you're a Sylvanian Families fan

Ps I bought myself 2 Ever After High dolls

I love Lauren Child's dolls' house. There's a little video at the end as well

No more weird than adults buying colouring books which seems to be a thing now. I love playmobil and have a vast collection from my childhood as I grew up in Germany. Last Summer I set up the castle in DS's bedroom. Lots of fun.

Do yourself a massive favour, and ask for it.

Ooh, missed update. Good for you.

Is it this one you're getting?

Don't forget you can buy extension sets for it

and a lighting set www.playmobil.co.uk/light-set-for-deluxe-dollhouse--5303-/6456.html?cgid=Puppenhaus&showSpareParts=false#start=9

as well as the room sets!

Honestly, why? To play with?

OP, I'm glad you're not living with someone who makes you feel bad or self conscious about doing something harmless that you find fun and satisfying.

Tangerineclouds, not to play with as such, to collect and set up
He has ordered it now, I'm looking forward to building it and setting it up :)

I did see the extensions and lights sets, maybe for my birthday!

Go for it OP, my daughter loves playmobil and I managed to find the house I had as a child for her on eBay. Many happy memories

YANBU OP. I love playing with my DDs toys and I love going to toy shops. My favourites are Sylvanian Families. Luckily DDs love them too so we can play together.

I once told DH that I would love a room with display cases for Sylvanians and he said "what like Michael Jackson's Neverland"

I have bought DD2 a wooden dolls house for her birthday next week and I can't wait to spend Sunday evening putting it together.

Have fun with, what I think, it a really lovely hobby.

I'm overwhelmed by the support on here! Thanks everyone
There's something therapeutic about toys and collecting, a temporary escape from the real world

I hope you enjoy your Playmo experience, whats!

Norman the Foreman (Prime Minister of Playmoland) sends his best wishes.

I always wanted a Cabbage Patch kid and never got one, I'd love a dolls house to decorate....

Yanbu, glad he's said yes! I had a similar question about lego last year, everyone said go for it To be honest my dd has a train set, a load of Duplo and will be getting a dolls house purely because I was desperate for those toys as a child and I never got them. There's something therapeutic and nostalgic about setting up/playing with toys.

There's an attraction near me that is all model trains. Instead of a regular gift shop, they have a collector's shop. It's huge, filled with model trains, dollhouse furnishing, all sorts of things like that. Children are not in there spending a zillion dollars on that stuff. I say if you want it, get it.

Yes, there are lots of people who collect and set up train sets model railways. I don't see why having a dolls' house/Playmobil should be any different.

If your a weirdo, your in good company I saw wonderful documentary on Lauren Childs a while ago, she is the author of charlie and lola and more. Her hobby is making DH, she goes to a special place and puts leccy in and everything.
