Playmobil's own site doesn't even send these, so I was blown away when a little Canadian store did. I think they're awesome.
Or more simply, keep the Fi?ures mystery bags for point of sale, I suppose children like the surprise factor, but sell the invididual pieces online for collectors, so if I want ten Sami men I can get them easily and all the money goes to the Gnomes. Why do they not do this.The original point of blind bags is to get people to buy more than they would to get that figure they really wanted. Conversely a blind bag as a first point of contact for a child could be quite negative if they don't like the character. It could sour them on the whole brand. Blind bags are great in an existing market but I think they're a poor introduction to those not familiar with playmobil.
I have a somewhat cursed habit of getting into something only a year or two before it completely ends. If one of the problems with Playmobil is losing money, they better turn that around so I can keep giving it to them. My most recent purchase was an incredible success too, so they better not go out of business any time soon.After 50 years of being in business that isn't likely, more likely is that they'll cut costs by moving production to some cheaper place or offer more smaller sets - which they should do anyway.
