Hans Beck has died. "Who?" You say? Well, he was the inventor of Playmobil. I didn't know his name, but I spent most of my childhood dividing my attention between his inventions and the huge box of Lego. I guess getting older means your childhood heroes (in the broadest sense of the word here) pass on. :sad:
My era was Meccano all the way... But I remember young nephews and nieces playing for hours with the things. A great invention by a great man.
Oh, playmobil. We were kind of torn between a sad :sad: and a silly but guilty giggle because of the mental images of a playmo burial that kept crossing our minds.
