come on guys, you don't need to feel so ashamed. i was only kidding.  :P
one of the reasons i had for posting the not-so-nice article about hans beck was an attempt on "surveying" members' reactions about it.  :yup:
the same article had only 5 replies on klickywelt.de.  :(
in playmofriends we had (up untill now) 19 "valid" replies.  :)
this means that a tendency i see on some playmobil forums to act like the 3 wise monkeys when confronted with "difficult" news is maybe (more or less) absent among us.
the stated objective of this forum is to "enjoy and explore this fascinating hobby in a fun, informative, entertaining, and respectful environment".
maybe, sometimes, "fun" and "information" can be difficult to mix.  :hmm:

For my self coming to this forum and the collecting at all is all about escaping the realities of the real world that i have very little control over . In my Playmobil world i do as i please . This just reminds me of some of the harsh realities i try to meditate away from when i am in Playmo-world . This type of situation happens more often than i care to keep track of and if i think about it too much it could raise resentment for the company . It is similar to why i chose not to start selling Playmobil as it will turn it into a job and not an enjoyable retreat from my job  ;) So yes Hans gets the Employee shaft and Horst get the money but that is just the way it seem to go and the way business is set up most of the time . Capitalism = capitalize on the misfortunes of others ( in this case Hans's weak business sense )

There's clearly a meeting of minds here between the three of us.

I don't want anyone to feel that I'm unsympathetic to Hans Becks situation, but I wonder how themes, & figures would have evolved to the current level if Hans had been in sole control of the development through out Playmobils history if the comfort zone had not been stretched by Horst? As stated in previous publications there were themes under Hans guidance that would not be allowed, but have since been achieved, & produced by Playmobil like the dinosaur, alien, & other similar editions! Just an idea.
