Besides the great line of Playmobil 'accessory packs', there's one other thing we wish LEGO would do similarly: To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Playmobil just released a rerun of their classic Playmobil truck from 1975 !

I've been reading with interest some of the threads about how almost all the Lego minifigs, especially Lego, are action-oriented (soldiers and stuff), and how few "normal folk" there are. I guess Lego is assuming that kids would find these boring. (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.castle)
