Title: "PRODUCT ARCHIV" @ playmobil.de
Post by: Richard on February 18, 2009, 14:19:36

Have I arrived "late at the party" (it wouldn't be the first time) ... or, has Playmobil's product archive been recently updated?

It appears that they now have every set, larger and clearer pictures and a new format.

Click HERE (http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=ARCHIV), if you haven't seen it.

That is very nice! Thank you for the link Richard, I have never used the archive before.

WOW Richard! This is definately a change  :o! Although it still doesn't show how long the sets are in production year by year, just when they were first introduced! I still like Collectobil for better information!

They updated the archive with 2003 - 2006 sets some time ago, but the larger pictures are definitely new.

Thanks for the update , i have not used it in many many months and it does look a lot easier to use . It actually looks so interesting i may just find some quality time to check it all out . Now I simply rely on Heather's site now for everything

I haven't been able to figure out how to search by set number within the Playmobil archive, or if it's even possible to do so.  Can anyone adivse me please?   ???

well richard, maybe 5/6 months can be considered a bit "late".  ::)

i have the same problem as indianna - there seems to be no way to make a search by number inside the "archiv".  8}

a time-frame would be a great addition to each set also.  :yup:
... and an image with each set's contents (you get it when you click in the "current" sets).  :yup:

Oh good, I'm not the only one who can't search.

I was trying to find set 3030.  Collectobil says 1996 us / 2003 euro, but I can't find it in either catalog.

They only have sets from the "Hauptkatalog" - so no special editions and exclusives.

To search inside the archive, put -A (hyphen, then uppercase A) after the set number in the regular search.  That's how the numbers are printed in the year-overview and on the sets pages.  (There's the odd -B as well, for things with two versions like 3603.) Hope that helps.

Ah, thanks for this hint. Didn't know but this is very useful.

 :doh:  That seems so obvious once you know what to do!  Thanks, Heather!   :)

Hi Richard!

I noticed at the beginning of this week

It's much better than it used to be, but not complete yet. (No Victorian collection, and no red biplane ... among probably other things that are missing.)

But it definitely was very weldone as an improvement, compared to what it was! :yup:

May they keep doing the good job! :)
