Guns don't kill. PEOPLE kill.

Yup, with guns.  ::)

my playmo bank robbers are falling behind the times... the last one just used a system x tool to disassemble the vault break the safe open... after placing a post in front of the police office door so they couldn't chase him  :lol:

:lmao:  :P

Oh, please. With guns, knives, a rope, a shoe, a stone, a bottle, with their bare hands (or feet!) - shall I go on? We've been killing each other since the beginning of times. It's our nature.

You NEVER saw a gun being accused of murder!

(anyways, off topic, kinda)

I just don't get it why they picked on this particular set...

Probably the fact that it's a FEMALE bankrobber...I can't stop thinking of all those innocent, shocked to the core children who are crying themselves to sleep at night after having seen this blue box just BRIMMING with it's evil content!!! :lol:

In an age when parents let young children play violent video games, I hardly think a plastic bank robbery is what we need to be worried about.

I love how Damo's bag matches his/her shirt and shoes!  8-)

Well I gues they could have seen it coming that some nutjobs would get into a rage about this set.

First time I see playmobil criminals with a gun, usually its the cops that have sniper rifles, pistols, machine guns, batons, riot shields and everything. Yet I dont think anyone ever argued about this inciting kids to play out some serious police brutality.

I'd gues playmobil could have included an armed cop with the set to show the criminal isnt getting away with it, but it shouldnt be needed.

Just read it in the newspaper. Typical some thing for Europe or the Netherlands. To many people doing nothing all day,  except looking at others and thinking:

what's there to 'nack(?)' about? When i was a kid lots off times we saddeld our pony's and robbed the stagecoach......Never thought off becoming one in real life :lol:

Ehmm, and how would you call a pirate? Oke, the're not always criminals, some had a  Letter of Marque and Reprisal and were allowed to enter another ship. However, most pirates were just criminals and you could be hanged. The playmopirates have guns too! Furthermore the western bandits and robber sets also have guns. So I did not quite get your statement.


I agree of course it's a lot of  nonsense to slander this set. I find it peculiar this news appears after the news on 31 jan 2013 about playmobil making 5% more profit and will expand their production capacities in nearby future. Seems someone is jealous! Lego?  :) 8-)
