So, why did Playmobil never take off in USA? It seems to be doing well in EU but never saw it do well in USA like Lego did, why is that?

They are boring

>>11498045 (OP)
Because it's "Lego but you don't build anything. "

Playmobil are about play and roleplay

Lego is about building, play and roleplay. The building in playmobil is more akin to a model kit let's say than lego. You can't do more.

>>11498051
Playmobil is all pre-built like every 5poa toy, so you're way off.

>>11498045 (OP)
because it's not a naked six inch 1/12 super hero from retarded cape shit movies

>>11498054
>he doesn't know

>>11498053
He's not talking about the figures, dumdum. Bigger sets need to be partially built, I had several ships like that.

>>11498065
That'a cute, what size?

>>11498119
2 cm

>>11498184
Fuck

>>11498083
still not akin to a model kit neither, dumberdumber. It's no different from Blokees nor the Mario playsets

We get maxi too, they are bigger size

>>11498045 (OP)
Did mods delete the thread again?

>>11498045 (OP)
Probably cause it's so pricey. I don't care about the figures, but the rides and buildings were always cool. I especially like their fantasy stuff and I'm tempted to get more since they go perfect with Gashapon Quest figures. Sadly space is probably more of an issue than budget so I hesitate to dive too hard into things.

But I'd love to at least get me a nice castle set, but the problem is the one I really want is ten years out of print and hard to come by these days.

>>11498457
They do look bigger

>>11498541
No idea why

>>11498045 (OP)
because the us always had better action figures and play sets so they don't need playmobil.

>>11499187
>because us always had
Lol hahahahaha

wholesome little six inch 1/12 scAle action figure kino?

>>11499202
Nope lol

I randomly got these dudes a couple days ago at the store. Cool guys.

>>11499429
Neat

>>11499429
How much?

>>11499686
6€ the set.

>>11498835
I wouldn't worry, Playmobil seems to release their old stuff often.
>>11499429
that mummy is so cool

Some of their stuff is surprisingly good! Love the Delorean, comes with a lot of stuff, rubber tires, can transform to flying mode and it even lights up. I just wish the minifigures were better... All of them have the same face.

>>11499716
They have soul

>>11498065
Why aren't they making a whole DC line? Playmobil could do IPs like star wars, marvel, etc. because they are not a building toy like lego.

Why don't they try to get more licenses to enter the US market?

And they're timeless.
