Title: Hello, I'm Outlaw
Post by: Outlaw on February 24, 2007, 04:17:26 AM

Hello.  I'm Outlaw.  I'm new to this site and pretty new to the Playmobil web forums/communities.  I'm from the western United States and a big fan of Playmobil Western sets. 

I've been collecting Playmobil for many years and have what I would call a "moderate" collection of pirates, castle, jungle/adventure, and western sets.

I've recently tried something new, and that is a Playmobil Western Adventure/Mystery.  The page can be found here:

Feel free to access this link and try your luck at the mini-mystery.  Feedback through the GuestBook is appreciated (Email not required).

Hi and welcome from Scotland! (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/wave.gif)

I love the idea of creating hotspots on the images which lead to the next page when clicked! As a reader, it really makes me feel like I am in charge of investigating the mystery. :D

It did take me a little while to work out that was how to navigate the story. If I may make a small suggestion, perhaps you could put this bit of info somewhere on the first page? ;)

Great to meet another Western fan. Hope to see more of you around the forum. :)

Thanks for the welcomes and your suggestion Sylvia.  I'll add some instructions on the first page for others that don't realize the "hotspot" maneuvering.

As to being a Western Playmobil fan, I'm really looking forward to the new superset to hit the US in March (4130).  You probably have already seen it GaiusIulius in Germany.  Most of my collection has been purchased over Ebay over the past five years (or so).  The sets are getting more difficult to find.  - but when I do find them, it makes me appreciate them that much more.

One day, I really want to do a large railroad diorama.  But until then, I have Deadwood.

I'm glad to see Playmobil still offering some WW sets considering the theme has been retired.  This is one thing that I really like about Playmobil.  They bring back retired/old themes.  What I like about this new set is the mix of cowboys (one) and Indians.  The gold nuggets look good too, and I notice that these also come in the Playmobil Direct McClaren's Gold Mine (as opposed to the old brown rocks with gold speckles).

Here's an image of the set for those of you interested:

Thanks.  As this is the first time I've done something like this, I appreciate the feedback.
