Greetings from Argentina!!
« on: January 31, 2008, 04:20:45 PM »
Hi all, I am Pyrrhus, fom Córdoba, Argentina (sorry about the surely bad English). I used to collect, but stopped 8 years ago. Few time ago, seeing the Roman and viking lines remotivated me back to collect, as well as seeing so many collectors in the fori (is the plural right?). One of my problems is that I am ignorant about buying products from other countries, and the Antex (the company that makes Playmobil products in Argentina) production is quite incomplete in the epic lines, lacking many 1997 and later items.

I love all the epic products, Western, pirates, knights, vikings, Romans, etc. As my name suggests, I would like very much a Greek-Hellenistic line, with hoplites, Macedonic phalanges, Cathaginian war elephants, and Greek catapults, with they typical helmets, armors, shields and weapons, in order to fight the Romans. As you can see, I love armies.

I recently bought an antex product and got an Antex catalogue, if some of you are interested, please tell me how to upload pdf documents and images. Thank you for the attention and good luck, see you in the forum.

Hello, Pyrrhus ...

13MB is HUGE !!!

Most of us only have PDF "readers" ... However, if you have the complete Adobe Acrobat Application (Acrobat 8 Pro), you might be able to break this very large PDF into smaller "sections" (100KB), so that you can post them online. (If my math is correct, there are probably more than 130 100KB "sections" in 13MB)

Good luck,
Richard

It will be more conveniant  to acquire some free web space, to put it there and make a link from here. I think it is no so difficult to obtain a place  (e.g. http://www.freewebspace.net/php/search.php?form_language=English&form_space=20&b=0&i=10&Search=Search&form_hostType=REG&a=1), but have no experience with it, so please be careful when you choose.

Your avatar has a cool name, btw. ;D

Best regards

Hi all, thanks for the words and advice, Richard and Henry. A friend of mine explained how to upload it in Rapidshare.

http://rapidshare.com/files/91248984/Antex_catalogue.pdf.html

Indeed, the Antex products are not quite good, they were equal to the Playmobil sets until 1990, but latter stopped making the same things. I think you may be interested in old-style klickies and tools, so perhaps this serves.

A big welcome from me also - even if its belated -  :-[ ;D
I left my love a letter in the hollar of a tree.
I told her she would find me in the U.S. Cavalry.
High, yo, down they go, there's no such word as can't.
We'll ride clean down to hell and back for Ulysses Simpson Grant.
