Hi all,

At the risk of being jumped on simultaneously, by thousands of AFOL's (or
having thousands of Timmy's thrown at me) I just finished having a look at • the
playmobil site, and came away with much food for thought.


After reading this post and the long string of responses, I would have to
say that it is interesting that no one did jump on Rachel or throw thousands
of Timmys.  If someone made a comment comparing Lego to Mega Blocks (or
almost any other company for that matter) the response would be heated.  It
appears that everyone has a healthy respect for Playmobil.  Would it be a
safe assumption for me to make that almost everyone who was raised on Lego
had at least one Playmobil set as well?

I was going to say flat-out no, but then I remembered I *did* have one
playmobil set. My dad actually just told me I had more than one... Weird, I
don't remember that... Guess I was blocking it out of my mind... (probably
with lego blocks  ;-)
