US and German Playmobil site redone

[Walts-Trains]

Due to my broadband having a maximum speed of 1.2 mps (last night we were down to 0.54 mps) it is taking ages to download a page. Wanted to check the new Cargo range and it said there were 44 items on the UK site, but would only download the first 9 for me.

All those bendy limbs.  Horrible!!! 
It really bugs me when advertisements show a product doing something it doesn't clearly do, like car commercials that show the car rail sliding like it's a skateboard.  Same vein here. new website design= Fail

With all the "blinky winkies", the site is slow as Tartarus, and probably unuseable in older browsers/slower conns. And for what?! NOTHING.

I don't understand. WHO decided that?!

The store part is particularly ridiculous.. I mean, I can understand having a "fun" time-waster site, for kids (or for us ) - but clicking on the store, that's BUSINESS. It should be simple and WORKING. KISS people, KISS. AGH.

The upside is that we can look at all the sets in better detail, zooming in over the picture. Theres often even more pictures of the set as well but that might just be for the newer ones.

is there an upside to this than? 
i agree totally it's overdone and copied form LEGO®, but in a bad way. Why show something that will never be in a box? Weird....
Kids will look through this as well.

Oh well, guess the webcare team of Geobra thinks otherwise

And Produkt-Archiv is not working at the moment  - the best bit of the site IMHO because it isn't persuading one to spend money.
Sheesh this new look is just HORRID!

Well, this may be an unpopular view, but I LOVE it. They've brought it into the 21st century, finally. And FINALLY there is a way to zoom in and get a better look at each set! I've been wishing they'd do that forever. I haven't had any problems at all with the site being slow, except for the zoom taking a few seconds, but not that bad. I haven't looked much at the activities, but the playworlds section is nice, IMO. It makes the site more interesting and definitely more modern. Change isn't always a bad thing.

Change isn't always a bad thing.

It is if it makes it harder for people to give them money.. oh, wait. Right. 

I agree that it MAY be an improvement for the "useless" areas - for fun, I mean. IF it works in most devices/browsers....  Now on the store...

Also, at least to me, the default style for the images is the wrong one - they overlap the ref and number, and get out of bounds. Which is plain ugly - not to mention annoying and bad, hiding important info.

I haven't seen the problem you are talking about, and it seems as easy as ever to me. Select the theme you want, add it to the cart, and check out, doesn't seem that hard.

[tonguello]

All in all the site is cuter. I see kids could easily spend some fun time navigating the site.
It is not easier to use though.
It might be that we need some self adjustment to the changes guys, we are old  ...

BUT I can't digest the fact that it looks exactly like you-know-who's page! 

ANYWAY.....WHAT I CAN'T REALLY STAND IS THE MUSIC!! 
Go to the theme "FAIRIES" and go through it... the music makes you want to kill yourself or stick a couple of clikies in your ears.
