… 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.

@Jellycatfox Grin.
Keep up the good work Bits, it'd brightening my mornings.

elephantoverthehill · 16/04/2020 09:35

it's

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 09:36

Myfriend we have hundreds of sets and at the last count more than 800 people. Ds started getting Playmobil when he was 5, and played with it right up until he was 15, getting several sets each year. Since then I have bought quite a few more just for MN Playmo threads.

I think they'll all be clapping tonight except the sort who party in the park.

I hope they won't be setting off any sky lanterns.

You are awesome SoMuch I always love an update to life in Playmobil land.

Where is Norman? Is he okay?

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 09:52

They don't have sky lanterns in Playmoland, so think we are safe there! You will be hearing from Norm in due course. Smile

Ooh, have Marta and Matthias moved to another level since Christmas!

I hope Norman has not fallen ill. His absence is most worrying.

ssd · 16/04/2020 10:04

Am loving this Smile

Marta obviously doesn’t feel too ill if she’s drinking wine!

Ninkanink · 16/04/2020 10:20

It’s obviously being drunk for medicinal purposes.

Who knew you could get Playmo maracas??

This is an educational thread!

Petal Medicinal purposes - remember Mr Darcy offered Lizzy a glass when she got Janes letters Wink

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 11:23

The maracas are from this set.

Wine for medicinal purposes sounds an excellent idea - hopefully it will aid Marta’s recovery!

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 12:37

But maybe not for Emil! Grin

It is tricky to see how old Emil is but I would imagine he’s too young for wine - even blue wine!

SoMuchToBits · 16/04/2020 13:03

He's definitely primary school age, as he attends Eastgate Primary School!

Wow that is quite some collection! I would love to see how you store it all! Do all 800 people have names and how do you remember them all?

My DS is only 3 and I have a 1 year old too so have to hide away a lot of the little fiddly parts.

SunshineCake · 16/04/2020 13:08

*@ChessieFL I reported your post and told MNHQ there is nothing wrong with niche and we need this right now.

FromTheAllotment · 16/04/2020 13:08

Love this!! Watching to see if any of them have rainbows in their window and to see who becomes the PlayJoe Wicks Grin

TW2013 · 16/04/2020 13:18

I haven't yet seen the scene where the teenagers sleep in until noon and then game on their consoles while their parents try to cajole them to go out in the garden or do something. Our family seem to be underrepresented at the moment! Hope there aren't any fatalities.

bettybattenburg · 16/04/2020 13:22

Grin at the fact that life is so hard for Marta and Matthias that they have given up the wine glasses and now have a vase of blue wine on the coffee table.

FuzzyPuffling · 16/04/2020 13:33

Loving this. Playmoland might well be the highlight of my day!

TheoneandObi · 16/04/2020 13:36

Brilliant! Just placemaking really so I can enjoy the next episode. Stay safe Playmobil people!

Propergator · 16/04/2020 13:39

They seem to be coping pretty well. Are they wiping their shopping down before putting it away? Mind you now they’ve fallen foul of COVID I guess they no longer need to be as cautious.
