Big companies are spending a lot of money for market investigation, they hire agencies to set up official accounts in social networks (and to fake reviews at shopping-platforms) and they're annoying people calling them on the phone for customer questioning, all to get an idea about what the potential customers are thinking about their products. Nowadays an honest customer-feedback is pure gold in nearly every branch.
For that it would be idiotic if Geobra would not take advantage of the different forums in their main markets while other companies are fighting for every "fan" on facebook. I'm sure there is somebody at Geobra who filters and summarizes the reactions about novelties, product quality and even new ideas (in word or picture). There were different examples in the past when new sets or parts had a suspicious similarity to customs that were presented by forum-users two years earlier
@bonnie: I liked your idea about the cloud-baseplates much more than this cloud but its a cool thing for some future plane-in-flight-dios etc.
@tiermann&bonnie: My first thought on the new funicular was the cable-car at sandiego-zoo, too. That was one of my dreams for my playmo-zoo since i was a child and i still can't really believe that it'll become reality (still have to figure out where i get the money for 10-15 of this set
). I hope there'll be a way to extend the line with additional poles to get a route around the whole zoo.
