Thanks for the heads-up, Heather!  It's great to see that Playmobil is adding plans for older sets and not just for their new releases.    :love:

Some of the instruction sheets are actually scans of paper booklets - you can tell because the paper is a bit crumpled in places.  The classic 3666 Castle is one example of this.  I love the idea that someone is going through these old plans and doing whatever is necessary to put them online for us, especially since everyone but Playmobil is prohibited from showing the actual building plans online.  :)

I do like having such easy access to building plans, especially when checking old sets for missing parts. I wonder when they will stop- how far back will they go?
Its slightly annoying that earlier plans did not always give quantities of parts and even more annoying that they only produced some plans in monochrome.
By the way, 5313 did not link to a pdf of plans (not from PlaymoDB nor from Bauanleitungeen on www.playmobil.de) so I think PM need to check that one!
EDIT I sent a message to webmaster via pm.co.uk re 5313 broken link- let's see if they fix it!

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Fantastic! Thanks for the news. I was just looking for these a few days ago. I'm very glad to see that they are up now. :)

I also just realized that they updated a lot of the stock images for parts too (from puzzle pieces to actual images)! This is awesome. :)
