Thanks for the link to the video.  Although I didn't understand a word, I really liked seeing it.  I wish I worked for Playmobil!

:wave: Hi playmoire you can use RealPlayer SP from Apple

Thanks, Pingo, I've downloaded it and saved the video to file.  I can hardly believe that an application like that is legal as regards copyright!

Very interesting video!  Thanks for posting.
It is amazing the amount of technical/mechanical investment that has to be made
to produce the pieces, parts for the Playmobil toys 8}

Thanks again,
Jimbo

I just had a seven year old visitor who was asking how Playmobil was made-  this was posted with perfect timing!

I was amused at the idea of a mum quietly reading a book while four children all ten or under play happily with the fire engines. Maybe in Germany, but I doubt the kids are this quiet in the UK or USA.  ;D

You took the words out of my mouth Martin!  :lol: :lol:  I couldn't get just two to play quietly without argueing - (I still can't !)

Jim, they wouldn't let me video the Playmobil factory when I first visited Dietenhofen back in 1986. And, that's a real shame, because the difference in Geobra's automation, then and now, is absolutely mind-boggling. As I said before (somewhere here at Playmofriends), the day that I was there they were all excited about being able to successfully cast the chimp in one operation. Playmobil has certainly come a long, long way in twenty-four years!

Thanks again, Gordon ... and, all the best,
Richard
