You are put in charge of Playmobil, what do you do?

Geobra don't want to talk to fans.

And why would they, they are emotional
All Geobra wants of it’s fans is ……cash
If Geobra can crank out some older playmo and sell it on their own web store, bypassing the middle woman, research and design departments, it’s just more profit

Or more simply, keep the Fi?ures mystery bags for point of sale, I suppose children like the surprise factor, but sell the invididual pieces online for collectors, so if I want ten Sami men I can get them easily and all the money goes to the Gnomes. Why do they not do this. ???

The original point of blind bags is to get people to buy more than they would to get that figure they really wanted. Conversely a blind bag as a first point of contact for a child could be quite negative if they don't like the character. It could sour them on the whole brand. Blind bags are great in an existing market but I think they're a poor introduction to those not familiar with playmobil.
Rasputin:
I’ve also always hated the mystery bags concept
In my opinion it was Geobras reaction to LEGO and their mystery bags
Unfortunately both have different demographics in fan base so what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for the other
The only part about the mystery bag I do like is the constant variety of klickies
As a collector I am always interested in at least 3 of each round and sex
