When you say 'unpoplular' I immedietly think of the ghost pirates theme. Dinoaurs theme has been very popular in the UK.

I think the biggest flop though will be the secret agents theme :no:

I never knew something like that would be possible...to negotiate your production line as to help other companies into the market.... :o

No, this is not what I meant. sorry for confusing you. The negotiations were with the toy stores that are actually selling playmobil. If they plan to have all actual sets in stock and in their shelves, they need more and more space exclusively for playmo if playmo is releasing more and more sets. We all know how much room it does take to store a lot of these nasty blue boxes...  8}

Hey, there is a wireless cam with it! I always dreamt about being in the cockpit of a playmo car and now, finally, this dream comes true. 
:woohoo:
So, I will get it.  8-)

Yes, at one time, and maybe still today, retailers in the UK had to stock the full Playmobil range.

Wolf Knight answered your question here:

There are no westerns any more...in the 60's 70's and 80's you could see lots of them on TV or cinema..but not any more...thus no need for a western theme in playmobil. No visualisation to compare to...

What secret agent theme?  What are you talking about?  Is there a secret agent theme coming out?

That would be cool!

Bond:  Do you expect me to talk?
Goldfinger:  No, Mr. Bond.  I expect you to die!

Only problem Mobilius...the playmobil theme http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=Agenten is nothing excellent compared to that old cool punchline!!!
