Given the mostly empty boxes they sell I can see this making a bigger issue with shelf space taken up by air AND not moving quickly.
Most of the time the rotation was so quick that many sets ended up on clearanceDoes this mean that stores offload lines if they don't sell enough in a given timeframe?

Several b&ms where I live carried PM but dropped it over the last five years or so. Sales were too slow.
Amazon is the biggest retailer of Playmobil in the US, I suspect they sell more than Playmobil does off their own site. They get exclusive sets, and sometimes early releases of themes not arriving in Playmobil's own store until later. Their influence on the market and the sucking away of sales from local brick and mortar is a huge factor.
