Ismene:
Playmobil could sell clear bagged versions of old mystery figures for 2-3 times the original price and clean up.

Wait a minute …2-3 times the MSRP ? Scalpers on auctions is bad enough let’s not encourage Geobra to get in on that action
Their profit already jumped from selling direct after all the brick and mortar shops closed up
Ismene:
It'd still be cheaper than Ebay.
Rasputin:
The business concept that VW is adopting is not something I’d like to see Geobra duplicate. Raising the prices on future customers to cover the loss of customers is only going to loose more customers . It becomes a vicious cycle of punishing customers who are the lifeblood of any company.

Sheesh, I guess nothing good lasts forever. Guess I better start looking into injection molding at home...with the way Playmobil is going...
We all saw the writing on the wall when they bombed the PCC the way they did, maybe he older members can testify to signs older than that, where Playmobil was losing its original spark. I want to be hopeful that they can still turn themselves around, but I fear its just nostalgia tying me on to this. as annoying as price gougers can be, eBay and other collectors might actually be preferable than the company at this point... :'(
