Great article! and good to see he doesnt really approve of all the new technologies. At least it keeps them honest but I also understand they need to change according to a different market behaviour!

Very interesting, Martin, and thanks for posting the link.

Maybe if Geobra read it carefully the traditional values of Playmobil will be reinforced again.

nice article.

why do they write "Herr Beck" and "Herr Brandstatter" in the article?
shouldn't it be "Mr. Beck" and "Mr. Brandstatter"? Is it to emphasize they are german?   ???

could anyone encrypt the secret new design? :)

best,
socrates

Great article, pics and video.

It looks like the reporter and his team enjoyed themselves at the factory.

Good to know that Playmobil's sales increased here in the UK, 33% WOW. :o

I wonder if the new remote control car with camera will be part of the new spy theme?

And every year Playmobil's toys have to become more sophisticated to compete. Next year Playmobil – which for the last 35 years has assiduously shunned batteries – is launching a remote–control car with video camera.

Thanks for the link, Martin!. I just went back and looked through all the photos which I missed the first time I read the article and watched the video. They were well worth the look. Great fun!

Once again it's a great read/watch, thanks a lot for posting this Martin (and of course Martin's mom for pointing it out)

Thank you Gis for this link!!! I was amazed to see the raw material (the small plastic mini balls) that turns into our most beloved toy!!!

Yeah seeing the production process is indeed great but must admit that seeing those BIG quantities does take the romance out of things a bit for me. It all becomes so much less special. I know HOW it works but seeing it makes it to real.
