Post by: GrahamB on October 26, 2016, 12:59:07: It's 3328.
3328x - Indian Warrior (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3328x)

www.playmoDB.org * calls it 3328x to distinguish it from the later 3328 - Captive Prisoner and Guard (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3328)

* one of the best places to track down set numbers and part numbers- I chose the theme 'Indians' and found 3328x straight away from the pictures!

Does playmobil often reuse old set numbers?

Best wishes

Well... I hadn't thought that was the reason.. it just gets confusing... Before we could tell what the set was by the ref.

And they WILL need to reuse refs anyways.. unless they change from 4 digits to more, right?

Post by: GrahamB on October 27, 2016, 20:52:47: 291 numbers have been used more than once.
1304* unused numbers (not counting the possibility of numbers 0000 to 2999 being used in the future)

This event - running out of 4 digit set numbers - could likely be catastrophic. I raised the hysterical alarm in this thread (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=14689.0).
