Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand Steuben, known as the Baron von Steuben, was not only named after Friedrich the Great, the King of Prussia, but was also his godson. Steuben was a prominent military leader in the American Revolutionary War.

As can be seen by von Steuben's portrait, he bore a great resemblance to Playmobil's Friedrich the Great!

In 1786, a fort was built along the Ohio River & was named after von Steuben. It eventually evolved into the city of Steubenville, Ohio, where I was born & now live. In the 1980s, a reproduction of the fort was built on the original site & now serves as a historical attraction & learning center. This past weekend I began volunteer work here & will soon be a reenactor, wearing a costume & giving tours.

Today I took von Steuben's godfather, Friedrich the Great, to the fort, where he gladly transformed himself into Baron von Steuben for the camera.

The books in my bedroom are being moved to the library & Playmobil is taking over the bookshelf. It gives me a lot of pleasure to have klickies to look at all day long while in my room. Here's what I've got so far. The very top shelf is being saved for the Super 4 fairy tower & technopolis sets.

I got this a few weeks ago for $8 in a sidewalk sale; the vehicle is an actual working metal detector. When turned on and placed over anything made of metal (such as the red "rocks" that come with the set), the detector's alarm goes off. The rock landscape & tree will work will many other things; the big lizard is kind of cute. A winner at twice the price!

It comes with the landscape base with cave & tree with hanging vine, two klickies, a flashlight, rifle, big yellow lizard, metal rocks, & the metal detector-on-wheels. The detector takes 2 AAA batteries.

Today is my 55th birthday; I feel about the same as I did yesterday when I was 54. I have been saving Playmobil since Christmas to have as one big klicky celebration & had a pile of 35 sets waiting for me this morning!

However, before I opened anything, I asked to be taken to Sir Troy's Toy Kingdom for the day & had a nice drive in the country to get there. If you want to see the countryside near where I live (Blues on the radio): https://youtu.be/enZ8I387QUo

Here is the inside of Troy's today: https://youtu.be/T7wDNPplraI

To top off my cache of birthday Playmobil I picked up:
4127: Pirate & Redcoat Soldier
4128: Princess & Magical Fairy
4752: Celtic Knight
5242: Duke & Duchess
6267: Spinosauras & Baby

After leaving Troy's, we went to Smoke for lunch. http://smoketheburgerjoint.com/

I haven't opened any of the 40 sets yet. I think Boxing Day will be tomorrow. Here is the entire list: JLMatterer Birthday 2016

At the end of the day was a klicky birthday cake! This is 5372 Surfer with Surfboard on a cake blue icing & fish-shaped candies. All in all, it was a very happy Playmobil birthday. I'll post more pics later.
