From what I understood the main issue was that he was selling bootleg PM?

It seems he was selling reasembled playmobil klickies form left overs ... playmobil has said that they dont mind reselling proper sets or klickies... they just hate selling of customs, modified, or similarly produced klickies and accessories..

I thought it was all about them being made from inferior-quality parts.

i don't get it...we're not allowed to customize playmobil figures and sell them to other people?

I think that Geobra only gets peeved if that happens in bulk or in an "organized commercial form" (= store).

Certainly the Playmobil you could get in the Valetta Sunday market was not legally sourced.

Those klickies he sold were leftovers for bad printing mostly. I mean they didn't pass quality check in the factory. I know this store in Buggiba, they sold souvenirs for tourists (we got two Malta magnets there for our fridge).
