Well, it's certainly not a small tree!

This would probably be better for the Shopping & Auctions board though.

For what it's worth, if you have deep pockets, many (most?) of the catalogues can be bought on Ebay.

There is also an actual book, that might help:  Playmobil Collector, 3rd edition (1974-2009), written by Axel Hennel and published in 2010 by Fantasia Verlag, which goes for $35 on the US Amazon.

You mean everyone else is already drunk and couldn't care less when you showed up because they don't remember who was there at the start anyway?

More like "jeez, look at this nerd asking a question about mugs with loop handles! don't they know all the cool kids are into mugs with solid handles these days!"

Which is probably not going to be the vibe on a forum dedicated to love of a toy that first came out in the 70s...

If a topic hasn't had any activity in a while, I feel a bit awkward posting on it. Like showing up to a party extremely late, I guess.

I think those are bots, not actual people.

They certainly are. This seems to come up every so often and, for example, was discussed a bit in these other threads:

https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1552.0
https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=2404.0
https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4295.0
https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=8314.0
https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=17856.0

I can see that most of these visitors are viewing old topics very much like someone going through a library archive but without any interaction such as leaving a comment on that specific topic 

Most of the threads I listed above were posted more than ten or fifteen years ago, so while finding them I suppose I was in a similar situation! Then again, I'd imagine several of us probably look at older threads fairly often, especially with the significantly reduced posting in recent years.
