Thanks for posting the link.

I'm enjoying looking through them all.

Glad they put them up.  Maybe someday they will do an archive of all the sets.

They do have a large selection of the sets archived. :)

Is that every set for each year?

Is there a link from each individual set to a parts list?

I keep forgetting about the re-released classic western building system set 4431 in 2004. I guess it might be one of the first re-release with klickies.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I don't think that it is entirely complete. Others would probably know more than me about what is missing though.

It does not appear that there are any links or extensive information about parts though. I notice on some of the newer sets if you hover over the "further information" on the right side that a list of parts in words appears though. No parts numbers or anything are there though.

it is going to be great if and when geobra makes it crossed linked to the parts and instructions and now the catalog.  It all needs to be organized and cross referenced like Heathers DB. Look up a part and it shows the other colors and what sets in has been in.

I do hope they will do more rereleases like that.

When looking through all the catalogues, I realised it might enable us to make some sort of timeline of all the changes made over the years..

Like the introduction of western houses, steck houses, first female clickies, first black clicky, first kids, first babies, first fat clicky, first clickies with shoes, etc.

It's also interesting to notice that some themes developed fully pretty much straight from the start while others took a long time to find its stride.
To me the modern themes didnt seem to really take off untill much later, once modern houses where released. Western and Medieval seemed strong themes almost from the start seeing that after a few years western and medieval buildings where added.

It also seems those things have stood the test of time better, and fit in better with modern playmobil than most of the modern stuff. In a way things kind of got turned around in recent years, with modern themes being the norm and historic themes reveiving less attention and not nearly as much innovation. No new things are really tried with pirates, western and medieval themes while theres so much possible.

Quite a shame how that changed considering how important these themes seemed to have been in the early years.

Tim,

This link no longer works and with the new set layout I have not been able to find a catalog archive. If you could help me find them it would be appreciative.

Cheers,
James
