And his firstname "Bart" is also very common in Belgium (Flanders) and The Netherlands...

That, Erwin, I had also found out!  8}

I miss Collectobil a lot. Playmodb and Klickypedia are of course much more comprehensive, but their wealth makes these sites also harder to navigate: they are meant for the professionals. Collectobil was instantly accessible, showing the highlights of the classic years at a glance. It also looked great in that Playmobil blue. :)9  I wish we could get it back. It would be a great way to kindle the fire in the next generations for the glories of 80s/90s/00s Playmobil.

Hello Bart - very glad to see you emerge from the shadows! Collectobil was of course the spark that set off the initial idea of PlaymoDB. If you or someone is undertaking to bring it to life again, I'm happy to help - I use a lot of the old images and may have downloads of some of the pages, tucked away. I used to link to Collectobil from my set-pages and would certainly do so again... the sites serve different purposes and can happily coexist, I'm sure.
PlaymoDB.org has catalogued over FIFTY-FIVE THOUSAND parts in more than 6100 sets. Come and visit to find any set or part numbers you need to know!

... Collectobil was of course the spark that set off the initial idea of PlaymoDB. ...

For me, Collectobil rekindled my love for Playmobil and PlaymoDB is keeping it ablaze :D.
Would be great if Collectobil could be ressurected.

All the best,
Mark

I think some other member has also mentioned this, but you can find the "old" collectobil page in the internet archive

https://web.archive.org/web/20090216085214/http://collectobil.com/

I was too using collectobil at the time, and would loved to see this page up and running once more!
