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 know I did, and whenever I am in
the toy store I have to look and see what's new in the Playmobil section
(although I never buy any, I just think its cool)
