I do wonder if we passed a petition, if we could make a difference on this issue.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Probably not. I wonder if the molds are too thin, the plastic is substandard, or what else is the reason for substandard products.
The old fire truck had no accessible compartments, plastic tires, cheap feeling plastic, inferior design, fake molded cable winch, small water reservoir, hardly any accessories, & the list goes on & on.

You returned it, right? Must have been really bad. At least the school bus has rubber tires.

When I called CS , they told me I could send my feedback on the german playmobil website; even if it's written in english. Germans are usually very good with foreign language so surely someone at Playmobil corp can understand our concern.

It was the only Playmobil item that I ever returned due to quality issues. :-\

see, i think they need to hear all of this feedback.  i will try to leave my opinions on the german site and see if i get a response.  if not, i'll try to have my german friend translate my comments into german.

i think a petition is a wonderful idea!!

I second that. Quality is synonymous with Playmobil

I would hate to see people in the US finally start taking notice of playmobil, only to see it as another inferior made in china toy. I'm quite concerned over this, as it now seems to be a trend, rather than just a fluke!
