This is very good news for all of us.
I'd also read somewhere that Playmobil's profits were still very healthy despite the economic climate, though Germany's recession period was quite short-lived compared to the UK's.
The main reason they have continued to do well while other companies have gone bust is because people with less to spend are trying hard to get their money to go further. If they're going to spend their hard-earned cash on toys for the kids, they want something that is well-made and that will provide entertainment for many years, and Playmobil ticks all the boxes, of course.
