Should PM offer a Museum theme of sets?
« on: October 13, 2011, 16:50:10 »
After the riproaring success of the Durer special from Nuremberg Museum, maybe PM should consider a Museum or artist theme. Maybe they will see how eager we collectors are to buy unique specials or small sets!

We wish they offered different ones at every major museum because folks love to take home something from a museum. If the set included something unique to that place, such as a small animal or pet that is found in that country, that would also be incredible.

Ideas for a small set from some of my favorite places include the:
Capital Museum of Beijing,
Hong Kong Museum of Art,
Shanghai Museum,
Museum of the Terracotta Army,
National Museum of Korea in Seoul,
National Archaeological Museum in Naples,
National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, and
National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City.

This would be a wonderful method for increasing name recognition of Playmobil, especially in Asia.

Anyone have suggestions for a Museum (or artistis) theme? Cheers, Pgal :wave:

I don't know about how the details would work... But it seems to me that the way to approach this from Playmo's perspective would be to make the figures initially available at the museum... but not permanently (just for a special exhibit, like the Durer accompanying a special "one-time" Durer exhibition) then selling the left over figures... if any, via the PCC and then through the regular online services.

If they followed these guidelines, they would NEVER get stuck eating the cost. If the figures didn't pay for themselves at the museum or event itself, then they could increase the price for the PCC offering to make up the loss, and we would totally pay it to make sure they kept making them... you know... if they were good :)

Baron,
That sounds like a wonderful idea! Too bad they can't begin with the Rembrandt exhibition opening October 30th at NCMA in Raleigh!!! Folks often buy items from earlier exhibitions at a museum even though they missed that show.
And the PCC would be glad to help sell off any leftover sets if PM or the museum got stuck with them.
Nuremberg will be a test with the Durer figure...of course the fact that PM is based in DE will bias the test, but in a positive way at least we hope! Please keep your fingers crossed, Pgal :wave:

Hi,
I expect at the moment the thing is vice versa:

The museum wants to have a unique Playmobil figure.
They are starting a request to Playmobil, Playmobil makes an offer
and if both parties are willing this special will be produced.

Even every "normal" person can get their special Klicky, as far as I know the minimum ordering amount is 1000.....

mmm not sure.

again we are thinking of us and not the real "customer" Geobra is working for.  :hmm: (and I mean toy shops)

Of course I think it would be cool to have these exclusives but not sure if they can make a theme out of it.

Why kids would buy a van gogh clicky?  :)
