I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

Norman I've been checking out the new playmobil, the Neanderthal range looks fantastic, mammoths and sabre toothed tigers.

Ah, belgo, I was just talking to my owner about you! He was asking if you had any of the new leisure sets, and I said I though you had the new swimming pool with slide. We love the look of the new harbour sets you will be able to get this year, especially the ferry.

belgo · 08/02/2011 08:14

Well technically I don't have the swimming pool, it belongs to dd2Blush

Lol, I was meaning you as a family! Is the swimming pool as good as it looks? We are thinking of getting it this year. But we are very Envy that we won't be able to buy the harbour sets until next year.

Anyway, I must go now as my owner needs to go to school, but I'll look in later to see how the campaign is going....

What are you doing you playmobil people?My dc are too young to play with playmobil(?) but they love Lego and knex.

TheNewStig · 08/02/2011 09:22

Morning - back from the school run, managed to down a large travel mug of tea whilst out so am feeling ready to face the day with the aid of some biscuits.

Off to pour over drawing board again......

stealthsquiggle · 08/02/2011 09:37

Mammoths, Belgo? That would give our playmobil population something other than the growing dragon population to worry about Grin

Morning, Norman - have MNHQ not been in touch to apologise for the delay to your cup of tea emoticon yet?

I was labelling cakes for cake sale last night and I came so close to labelling the marmalade cake as 'Norman the Foreman's Marmalade Cake' (but I copped out, sorry...)

All together now...

What do we want? CUPS

When do we want it? WELL, AS SOON AS THE KETTLE HAS BOILED WILL BE FINE

belgo · 08/02/2011 11:44

yes mammoths and sabre toothed tigers [scared]

The swimming pool is fun, the shower is the main water feature. My girls haven't been playing with it for a few weeks as it's far too cold for those playmobil figures in their bikinis.

Morning, stealth. No, I haven't heard a thing from MNHQ. Maybe they are too busy designing the new teacup emoticon .

Lol at nearly labelling the cake with my name - I would have thought that would put peopl off buying it!

LadyP, we Playmobil people do various thing throughout the day. Sometimes we are very busy in scenes which require a lot of action. Other times we sit around drinking tea...

SoMuch has been out helping in her ds's school library this morning. We have been thinking about a Playmoland flag. We decided that we should have flag-waving at the forthcoming Playmobil Royal wedding, but realised we don't have a Playmoland national flag, so we need to design one. Hmm, we may think about starting a thread to ask for ideas....

All that thinking has made us thirsty, so we are now having another

The swimming pool is definitely on our wish list for this year. Fortunately our house is quite warm, so the bikini-clad people shouldn't have to shiver too much...

Thank you.

Still no news from MNHQ then Sad

Maybe they are saving it for Friday - a new emoticon for the weekend [hopeful emoticon]

Norman - I stumbled across this today - I thought it might interest you - another Playmobil person with a media career (in this case, reviewing games).
