… and so over the next few days I'll be bringing you some scenes of a Playmobil Pandemic.

People are allowed out for exercise, but must practise social distancing. Janice and Preston are both out for a run but are making sure they don't get too close.

I'm on the edge of my seat wondering about Marta and Matthias. 💕

PumpkinParent · 15/04/2020 19:42

This is quite the loveliest thing I have seen in a while. Superb.

WellErrr · 15/04/2020 20:19

Love this! Do your playmobil people live in wales by any chance?? 😂

Thisismytimetoshine · 15/04/2020 20:22

This thread is fantastic 😄

SoMuchToBits · 15/04/2020 20:25

Haha, only the modern living people and maybe some of the leisure ones. I started running out of English names a while back. We also have some Scottish ones, Irish ones and some German (mostly the Christmas/winter ones and various other nationalities especially sports people.

I’ve just realised we need more Playmo in our lives and have put in a plentiful order.

Thanks...I suppose 😂

SoMuchToBits · 15/04/2020 21:44

Everything is 25% off on the Playmobil website at the moment (I presume as they can't sell in shops) so many bargains to be had!

Brilliant! I wonder if the playmo residents will be outside to clap tomorrow evening?!

SoMuchToBits · 15/04/2020 22:20

Wait and see Snuggly!

OP you should be given your own topic! I honestly look out for all your threads

It's much appreciatedSmile

ChessieFL · 16/04/2020 08:20

newname I did ask MNHQ to set up a playmo topic to collate all the threads together but I was told it’s too niche!

Jellycatfox · 16/04/2020 08:30

But OP, what a wonderful town they all live in! Where are all the busybodies and the ones littering the car park with gloves.
We should all take a leaf off their book 🙂

Jellycatfox · 16/04/2020 08:32

Unfortunately the authorities haven’t made the information available in a user friendly way and some people are getting it all wrong :-(

Thanks for the heads-up, SoMuch! I always love these threads!

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 09:18

I love that Playmobil is "too niche" for a topic! Grin

Marta and Matthias are self-isolating at Marta's house, as she and Emil have symptoms. They don't feel too unwell though. Marta is cheering herself up with a nice cup of tea, while Matthias is working from home.

They are together in isolation! This is quite a big step for them I think. And hope.

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 09:23

Ben is delivering a parcel to Matthias. "Just leave it on the doorstep please!" says Matthias.

It's Thursday and "Clap for key workers" evening. Matthias is clapping, Marta bangs a pan with a ladle, and Emil and Franz join in with tambourine and maracas.

My DS has just started getting in to playmobile and I’ve had to be so restrained not to buy loads more! So far he has the fire engine, play park and water park.

How many sets and people do you think you have? @SoMuchToBits

CaptainMyCaptain · 16/04/2020 09:28

I am so enjoying this. I loved Playmobil when my daughter was small but now my youngest grandchild is 9, sadly, Playmobil is a thing of the past. I'm tempted to get some of my own.

chomalungma · 16/04/2020 09:29

I take it all Playmobile people are taking part in the clapping tonight?

No one is going to stay inside and not take part....

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 09:29

After the children have gone to bed, Marta and Matthias enjoy a glass of blue wine.
