- Delete because it fails WP:CORP. Maybe it could be merged into Revell if anything can be said about it. -- Mikeblas 16:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: VEB Plasticart from Zschopau was one of _large_ toy manufacturers in GDR, selling their goods throughout the whole East Bloc (as a child I had similar to this). VEB PIKO (~1,000 employees) is probably the most know among these, several more are mentioned in [1] and [2]. Short overview of Plasticart production is on [3] (in German). These companies were very large, having de-facto monopoly and market that took everything. After 1989 they collapsed due to being undercapitalized, poorly managed and incompetent to market their products. Pavel Vozenilek 23:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
