Hi Rasputin,

It's the same article, just posted on a different newspaper's website. :yup:

Btw, your link was broken when you pasted it here because it was copied from the playmoboard page and not the NYT website. (Vbulletin automatically abbreviates long links.)

The complete URL is this:

Hi Sylvia and thanks for the link. It was interesting to see that even a company like Brio trains are made in China. I always thought that they gave out the right green/quality credentials and were made from sustainable forests etc. I am not doubting their quality but when you think that they are made the same as a particular Supermarket brand of wooden trains in the UK beginning with a T it makes you think what you are paying a premium for ?? So hopefully a bumper Christmas for Playmobil and bonuses all round for the staff.
