General > Brainstorming For Playmobil
What's wrong with Playmobil? 2
Rasputin:
They did it to themselves , Germany ate the goose that laid the golden eggs . It’s not just a Playmobil problem, the whole German manufacturing industry is apparently suicidal
Hope some one with a brain gets voted in and steers the ship away from the rocks
As for the PCC , it was just a pet project of a few and had no company wide backing , it was doomed to fail from its inception unfortunately .
Mr B didn’t want to leave the brand to his kids so he left it in the hands of a secretary. Great
I guess he tried to out smart Clogs to Clogs in 3 and failed
English subtitles did not work for me , only in German

The vast majority of the members were interested in history

This is not entirely true
There were a lot of collectors from all over who not only worked and petitioned but actually spent their personal money to make it happen from all over the globe. There are quite a few in here actually. I am still thankful to them for all the extra work they did. Some even flew to Germany
The high up were the ones who allowed it to happen at Playmobil. With out their blessing it never would have had 1 month let alone 3 years
The people at Playmobil who were tasked with babysitting irrational, sensitive, emotional & crazy collectors tired of all the drama
Go ask the Green Goblin who resides in a swamp of all the special treatment he demanded

I'm aware of your spat with The Green Musketeer? but the total lack of interest beyond the contact person who wasn't able to provide any information made the whole thing a waste of time. It felt like the club was set up for children, other than the yearly sale practically nothing happened for the rest of the year, it was disappointing.
Thanks for the bit about the international fans input into setting up, I just assumed it would have been people who were closer.

I don't know about Germany, but as another article mentioned a quarter of toy sales in Spain are to adult collectors. That's a huge customer base being ignored currently.

I don't really think that's accurate. What service it was meant to provide, I've never quite understood. But the simple fact is, without the Collectors Club in place we have more sets aimed at the 'adult' market than ever.
Rasputin:
I’d also agree that there have been quite a few classic sets re-released lately that I’m very pleased with. I’m thinking western and Victorian
Then you have all the modern cars that seem to be more adult oriented
Then the Star Treck
The anima
Then the Scooby Do, ghost busters, Ateam type sets
There’s actually quite a few that happened well after the PCC disintegrated
