Brainstorming For Playmobil / Re: What's wrong with Playmobil? 2
« Last post by Rasputin on Today at 00:28:48 »For a short time, Playmobil did have some things produced in China. One of these was a free, special 25th anniversary torch to go with a set and it was an absolute disaster as the torches didn't work. There were problems, too, with other items produced for them there.
Yes the limited sets and or parts they made were craaap . It was more of a financial decision though to keep the set price low so they went with low quality. China is fully capable of making high quality if ordered.

“There’s a confusion about China. The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor cost. I’m not sure what part of China they go to, but the truth is China stopped being the low-labor-cost country many years ago. And that is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill, and the quantity of skill in one location and the type of skill it is.”
