It's an archive of the old Playmobil websites. 

It may not be complete, I don't know, but by working through the different years you can see how the site changed.

True. The Romans were great, as were some specials and a number of sets from the pirates theme.  :)

Sorry folks, but I'm getting confused!

What is the problem?

The link takes you to an archive which has on the Playmobil websites back to 1996.

The whole site isn't always there, but there are parts of the sites.

Here's an interesting page from 1996:

http://web.archive.org/web/19970221053059/www.playmobil.de/Toys/Product.html

If you click on the link Current number of Playmobil figures, it tells you how many figures were produced from 1974 to 31st October 1996

Go back and go to the bottom of the page and click on Continue and it takes you on to a page showing the main product groups, Playmobil, 123, and the dollshouse.

Click on the dollshouse link in pale blue at the bottom of the page and Damo should be in his element, look:

http://web.archive.org/web/19970221054554/www.playmobil.de/Dollhouse/Big/5314.html

When you click on a link which no longer goes through to a page, you get this message:

http://web.archive.org/web/20100820142539/http://www.playmobil.de/Toys/Play.map?194,197

There seems to be a problem with the original link.  I think it's gone corrupt.  I'll try and find another version.

Try this link:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.playmobil.de (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.playmobil.de)

Copy it all except the [url] at the beginning and end.

Paste it into your browser and then hit return.

One of the European Playmobil sites has a year-by-year catalog system, but it may not be complete and probably only reflects that country’s PM history. An imperfect resource, but might be worth checking out…

It's playmobil.de, the German one but I only posted the link because I thought people might be interested in seeing the earlier websites.

Hi

Yes it is interesting and I wonder why it is still active. Most of the links get this response

At some time, someone has archived the site and stored it on a server.  meanwhile some of the links have gone.    However, it depends where you click.  I'll post further on this later as I experiment more.
