Brainstorming For Playmobil / Re: What's wrong with Playmobil? 2
« Last post by JPSA on Today at 14:32:30 »And there is the problem ….. How does a long lasting durable toy that collectors choose to buy multiples of used on 3rd party sites , that can be again resold help playmobil’s balance sheet?
Well, ditto for Lego, and it isn't preventing them from doing well financially.
Also, buying used sets is a way for getting into it, for not too much money — especially if you are into construction-play, and/or have a world to build ( particularly one that relies on sets that are currently out of production ). But, sooner or later, one will likely end up making new Playmobil purchases, to add this or that ( or simply because it's about the same price to get the new version of an item, compared to used ).
Finally, selling cheap looking, ephemeral products, doesn't seem to be a winning strategy for Playmobil, so they might as well stick to quality ( long-term value ).
...That's what you want: a kid with ambition!
Yes, they're small, but they reproduce very quickly ( ending up costing an arm and a leg, before you know it ).
