Welcome aboard from... Belgium! :lol:
So, then you have been around as Playmobil-collector for many years, since you helped out with Axel´s Playmobil Collector books?
And are you on other forums as well, Klickywelt maybe?
Welcome from the Netherlands.
Especially the medieval sets where already very good from the beginning I feel, they have many civilians too and lots of buildings, allowing for beautifull diorama's with only classic stuff.
Singleklicky69,
I would love to see your MISB western themed sets including the Native Americans and farm if you get a moment to post.
Thank you
And do you perhaps have famous color-set 3660 "Kaufmannszug" MISB ?
Personally I´d love to see detailed (boxart) pictures of that one :love:
Welcome Bart! Nice vintage collection! Are you still missing a lot of sets?
Is the Collector book still available somewhere? I think I missed that one :) , amazing that you were able to make some contributions!
Great sets! I would not trust the fellow that's holding a scythe with a smile on his face towards that barking dog though. ;)
^ That's your imagination!! I thought the dog was about to hold it in its mouth!
Fascinating to see the boxes with the description of everything on the back. That would have stopped me using the old fire extinguishers as megaphones!
I remember using them as megaphones too when I was a child... Gladly this got solved 40 years later :lol: :lol:
I hope the pics are not too large for the forum. My apologies if they are.

That yellow male Indian set (3352x) is interesting as several of the parts differ in colour from the picture on the box.
... a lighter canoe (they are not white).
First, let me welcome you (late though this welcome is!) to the wonderful playmofriends forum.
Second, thanks for posting those pictures of vintage sets here, as well as sharing them through Axel Hennel's wonderful Collector book.
Its great to get large pictures, so we can study the details. It depends on what platform one is viewing the pictures, but I quite often have to scroll a post sideways to see the right hand portion of pictures. This isn't a big problem, though. I think any picture wider than 1000 pixels will require scrolling.
I was interested to see you had opened a couple of your MISB boxes. That yellow male Indian set (3352x) is interesting as several of the parts differ in colour from the picture on the box. Here is my picture of the set (made by copying the box picture, collecting parts from different sources, not opening a MISB box!). Incidentally, this picture is 500 pixels wide

Here is your picture of the same set (768 pixels wide)
In your set the canoe is light brown (not white), the cuffs and necklace are blue (not red and green), the headband is yellow (same as the box) and the feather is not visible (red on the box). In another set shown on klickywelt.de the canoe is light brown, the cuffs and necklace are green, the headband is red and the feather is white. The spear decorations are red and white in all three sources.
All of which goes to show how much the parts varied in colour in the early days and how hard it is to state with any certainty what a set contained!
If you ever find any more of your MISB boxes 'fall' open, it would be great to see pictures of the contents, even sealed in the plastic inner bag!
I was also puzzled why that Lyra set with two klickies in it stated on the box '1 klicky'. Is Greek counting somehow different?(I reduced the image width from 1280 pixels to 640 pixels in that quote)
