Looks a lot better than the old one..

Though there are no real differences, right? :(

It's because Lego does it ... http://www.lego.com/

The bent elbows are a bit misleading...

Considering that I hadn't even noticed the bent limbs until it was pointed out,  I am surprised how much I *really* don't like that they did that.  :(

Absolutely!

Unless they're working on something...   ;D

They better not. STAY AWAY FROM KLICKY ARMS! They've messed up with that more than enough. More than I thought possible.

(no, I'm not over it.. and won't be, most likely, anytime soon   >:(  >:(  >:( )

Bendy elbows, separate legs, bendy knees, ears, noses... the sky is the limit!

Sorry Tahra, didn't mean to upset you even more!

But now, it's back to this:

Saw that sometime last week - but I thought it was a browser cache thing, and didn't bother to refresh..
Title: Re: New home page for www.playmobil.com
Post by: playmofire on July 07, 2013, 19:24:09
I've cleared the cache and typed www.playmobil.com direct into the browser and accesswed via a google search and the result is always the "old" site.

To be honoust, I haven't seen any different version then the old one the past weeks...
Or the changes were so subtile that they were hardly noticable?  ???
Title: Re: New home page for www.playmobil.com
Post by: Wesley Myers on July 07, 2013, 23:24:12
Maybe they changed it back because of the arms and legs and the seeming deceit of it(?).

That thought had occurred to me.

No, it was a completely different design, with a bunch of klickies standing there and flags hanging from overhead banners for the countries. But it has gone back to the old home page for me too. Very strange. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact there seemed to be flags there for countries that don't have online shops yet?

just maybe, someone at PM did something he/she wasn't supposed too  :hellol:

could it be a future page they were testing and it accidently appeared in the live environment?
I know it happened to me once or twice on my sites....  :-[ :-\
Title: Re: New home page for www.playmobil.com
Post by: playmofire on July 08, 2013, 11:44:03
Again, a thought that had occurred to me.

Or maybe a hacker?
