I think they will for today's kids...
Not sure about this . This set even the colours white with red etc is so so 80s , not so sure this would catch up with kids , in that theme domain there are sets with far more aggresive weaponry, missile launchers , machine guns, lasers, grenades etc , this playmobil set pales in comparison in terms of aggressiveness and weapons etc, i doubt kiddies that want army like toyz will fall for this .. too soft for todays kids, too harsh for playmobil ethics and design ethos that its founder instilled , aww well its bound to fail in my opinion
Playmobil should make a scientific set , based on NASA space crafts , satellites and future plans etc , that would appeal more to the parents that usually buy playmobil ( in my opinion a more suburban market segment as playmobil is not a cheap toy as toys mentioned above - large cheap sets with lots of weapons and missiles etc) and they should add to their toy lines some educational DVDs perhaps with klickies describing our solar system etc . So many neat more scientific spacecrafts could be made more in the lines of the playmospace series which was SUCCESSFULL for a change !!! The recent playmobil space and alien lines were a flop...
