Some parts I recognize:
- victorian stove from 5322 or 5317
- the side of a siege tower (What color is it?)
- Nessie 7864 or 3155
- admiral from 3110 or 7666
- tiger kid from 3026 or 4770
- pirate ship 4424 or 5736

correct the quad is the 3655, but missing almost everything. You need a blue case which is mounted on the rear, with the bluelight on it and some tools inside.
Also the handlebars are missing. The klicky i saw on the second row of the top shelf, almost in the middle.
Also see the 3062 highway rider, but only the rear part.

also saw a couple of incomplete racers and that jeep. probably the 7617 DS issued jeep, due to the black fenders and no print on the hood.


green trailer, amfi truck and cage are most likely from set 4175 Amphibian Vehicle with Deinonychus


most other parts are allready mentioned.

Thanks everyone!  I am working away here, LOL.  After digging through many parts, I have the police quad assembled and complete with figure.  Also the deinonychus set and some sort of cargo loader (4474).  I will update in a little while with parts I still can't figure out :)  You've given me a lot to start out with. 

The green fencing is definitely from a farm I think, particular since I also have a ton of farm animals, LOL.  I don't seem to have any sort of farm building though....

Anyone have thoughts on the green base with gray stones?

Well, my first guess on the base was 5841 - Roman's Camp (http://playmodb.org/setpics/5841.jpg)



However, that is shown with a tan base, not with green for grass. 

So, it could be the 4014 (



If so, here's the inventory list:

http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/listinv.pl?setnum=4014

There is another one that was used with the part number: 30 82 7492 but I cannot find it on playmodb.org.  (Hopefully those links posted above work - Playmodb is having some problems).

Here it is:  http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/5707.htm

Yes.. that is definitely it.  I know I've seen most of those pieces scattered about in my drawer of miscellaneous pieces.  And I have the animals and characters that match up as well. Thank you!  Now off to round them up and put it together :)  I must say this is quite a project and there is nice sense of accomplishment when the various parts come together :)

wasn't that green-fence also a DS release?

"Direct Service" - Playmobil produces some "add-on" sets, which often include items that were part of an earlier set (ex: fences, structures w/o klickies, groups of klickies, trees, animals, building extensions...), so it's possible the fence was purchased by itself. However, if you have a lot of farm animals, then it's likely part of a larger set.

It wouldn't let me upload them any bigger... limited to 100KB per pic.

If you have a photo editing program you can compress the pics slightly at the same time you resize them. It's surprising how much bigger you can make them without any noticeable loss of quality. :)

A good idea for sorting out sets is to put all the "like" pieces into groups - so all the medieval together, all the Romans in another group, etc. 

This often helps you find out what you have just by looking at what is in a group. 

There are Playmobil books available too, that show box art pictures from all the different sets (ie Playmobil Collector by Axel Hennel).  Bookdepository.com has it.  There is also Playmobil: The Story of a Smile by Felicitas Bachman.  Ebay might have them as well.  Check around for decent prices and don't just buy the first offering you come across as they can be overpriced at various places (Amazon can be bad for that!)
