70535 - Shopping Mall

Hey folks - look what I found in a speculative scrape of instructions for set-numbers that I didn't yet have assigned. Absolutely no other information, just the contents. Part pics and names underway, but all the part numbers are there.

Wow! A great find! An an almost complete inventory for a set which is as yet unknown! Great work, Heather!

Now that (most) instructions PDFs have part numbers in a format that can be copied out - you can try it yourself, just select text and "Copy" in your PDF reader - it has saved me a TON of labour. Mind you, that's why my inventory includes parts with nothing but a number... it was copied from the PDF and doesn't have a picture or name scrapeable from the official website, yet. That's got to be done by hand.

They're re-issuing a large number of PDFs, in this format, I think partly because they have to have the "UK CA" fine-print on them now. I've got a scheme underway to notate what parts come from which instructions, since some of these show updated parts. (Some have an updated part number for the plans themselves, some don't, just a change of date. FUN!)

An interesting update to the grocery store.  Great to hear some aspects are getting a little easier for you.

Great find :)

Some really nice stuff - I mean, the whole set it really nice (except the stickers instead of stuff and a door?) - but I can't start to get those stores... No room for it.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm not super-keen on these shop sets (the actual 'building'), but it has some cute parts - I love those brown paper bags, and I think the overall colour scheme is lovely.

It's kind of annoying, because I like everything about it apart from the building, but that's the bulk of the set  :lol:

That's exactly how I feel too...

I agree  - the items are nice; but I really do not like the 'buildings' :(

And I'm assuming that - due to wonders of modern Playmobil - the buildings are incompatible with everything else i.e. they're not System-X?

Really not a fan of these buildings as an adult collector but I can see why they’re easy for kids who seem to have zero attention span these days; they’ll be much quicker to build than system X so will fulfil the instant gratification that toys seem to need to have now.

I won’t be buying it.....but I will probably order the male figure behind the cake counter as he seems to have interesting hair.
I wish I lived in Germany!
