It's 3328.
3328x - Indian Warrior

www.playmoDB.org * calls it 3328x to distinguish it from the later 3328 - Captive Prisoner and Guard

* 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!

Thank you! I must learn to use the database better :)

Does playmobil often reuse old set numbers?

Not any more. They went through a period of that but realized the problems it caused and stopped doing so. The newest sets are now in the 9000 series range.

 One of the ugliest Klickys ever, IMO. Nonetheless, nice to learn what it is, and better still to know what awesome Indian stuff PM would produce a few years down the line!

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?

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)
see here
* as at 6 October 2016

This event - running out of 4 digit set numbers - could likely be catastrophic. I raised the hysterical alarm in this thread.
