Well, the playmo aisle in our TRU store is not that much smaller than the lego aisle, but it does not by any means represent the popularity contrast between the two. Wow that was wordy.  :P I mean, there's nobody on the playmobil aisle, unless they're just passing through.

Something I've noticed when I am in the store looking at playmo, and this would be good feedback for playmobil to hear, is that  people say things to each other that indicate that at a glance they are thinking they are preschool toys. maybe the boxes are looking too much like little kid toys. So they are passing them up thinking their kids are too old for that.

Maybe we are getting off topic here  :-\ , but I'll just say this for Greece: Playmobil and lego are equaly strong here.

Lego sets are more expensive though, especially the ones associated with movies and star wars  :o (250 euros for a Galactic Cruiser)... Its seems that lego might sell more, but this is not the case. Since they cost more, they also cost more to the shop, so most shops are not keeping as much a big lego stock as playmobil stock. And it is a fact that in each toy store you'll find two corridors of playmobil and one of lego.

That said, I'll go back to our original topic and ask Giorgo which flag he wants me to send him. Please choose from the pic Giorgo:

Here, Lego is about the same - 10 to 1 of Lego to Playmobil.  Everyone here knows of Lego but you may be surprised to know the number of people who have NEVER heard of Playmobil.

Don't worry Wolf Knight, it's a very nice conversation,
it is true that here in Greece Playmobil is much more preffered than Lego.
