Very twisted, Gepetto!Geobra hired one of the best marketing people in the US toy industry back in the very early 1980s. They made him the president of PlaymobilUSA. He was the first one to really begin to turn things around for Playmobil in the United States.They kept him for seven years. It must have been a very frustrating and unrewarding time for him, as Zirndorf continued to second guess almost every decision he made in the United States for the United States. It was a real shame. He knew the American market. And, that's something that Zirndorf will probably never know.So, unfortunately, Geobra's "twisted thinking" (although strange to us) probably makes good sense to them ... All the best,Richard
