I've just received a nice answer to my e-mail last week... I share it here... dunno if something will really be done, but the fact that they answered means a lot to me, it's nice to feel taken into account... :
Dear Mrs Vermot,
Thank you for your e-mail and your interest in our products.
I am 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 suggestion to re-make the cross-connectors in a different colour is
appreciated. Thus, I 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!
We would like to wish you a lot of further fun with Playmobil toys and remain
with kind regards,
Jutta U.Steiner
