Dear Mr Milner,

Thank you very much for your kind e-mail and your interest in our products.

We are happy to hear that you are a real Playmobil fan and that our toys give fun to people all over the world – children as well as grownups!

Your idea to make further items belonging to the antique themes is just marvellous. It is true that we have never had sets like Persians or Troja in our assortment. Thus, we did not hesitate to pass your suggestion on to our Research & Developing Department. My colleagues there are responsible for inventing new Playmobil items and they will now see what they can do with your idea!

Who knows, maybe one day you will see your Persians in one of our catalogues!

Again, we would like to thank you for the efforts you had to write to us.

Many greetings,


geobra Brandstätter GmbH & Co. KG

Dear Playmobil,
 
I'd like to thank you for the recent Romans theme, and the upcoming Egyptians theme - I bought at least one of every Roman set, and they brought me back to Playmobil after several years away. As the Romans were in Britain for over 400 years, and we have sections of Roman wall still standing in London, it's been a great education for me to re-read about the Romans, spurred on my your marvellous toy.
 
The Egyptians look absolutely splendid, and I'm certainly going to be buying every set when they reach the UK.
 
Have you plans for further themes of ancient Civilisations? Ancient Greeks, Persians and Trojans would fit well with the Roman theme as opponents, and the buildings and artefacts of Ancient Greece would make spectacular sets.
 
best regards,
 
Martin Milner

Thanks to Phyrrus for the email address to use!

Whenever I've tried to use the emailing system on the UK website, I get a bounceback in German telling me what I can do with my email.

I've emailed again suggesting the Feudal Japanese theme.

That's very interesting, Martin.  When I've written in the past, for example about fire items, I've always had an encouraging reply, sometimes from Jutta.  She's worked for Playmobil now for over 10 years.

Cool! That's a very positive response you received. :)9

Very nice to see that Ms. Steiner has taken the time to reply personally and at reasonable length. :)
She must be an extremely busy lady.

Maybe she's been assigned to Pyrrhus, Gordon and Martin (and their Playmofriends) ... ;)

That is an interesting correspondence, and a very pleasant response.
I am sure that there are people at Playmobil who keep an eye on the collector discussion boards. There are some great ideas that show up here from time to time.

this is a very friendly comment indeed  :wow:

I once had something similar when I send a mail to PLaymobil about a Napoleonic line  ;D
