Now there are 1914 building instructions available at the Playmobil website using the "space bar" method.  I haven't had time yet to see which ones have been added, though.   

[Indianna]

Here are the newly listed instructions, shown as lists from Playmodb.  It's great to see that they are continuing to add older sets to the online instruction database and not just new ones. 

PlaymoDB List - First 40 new instructions of the 1914 available as of today
PlaymoDB List - last 4 of new instructions of the 1914 available as of today

Thanks Indianna. There are still quite a few older sets to add, but they are making progress slowly. I wonder if there will be any building instructions unknown to the Collector community? Probably not I guess.

Thanks Indianna, that's a great help! There are three I didn't have before: 7043, 7190, and 7203. Not terribly significant, but a few more off the wishlist. I now have to grab them all and have a look to see if the part numbers of the instructions are different from the ones I have, and keep track of any new versions that need investigating for changes. There are probably a few dismally low-res part pictures that I can update, too, although that's firmly on the get-around-to-it list.

Heather - I'm glad my modest effort was of use to you!  I wish there was more I could do but, being not being a tech wizard myself I must just "slog" through (as my Playmofriend Graham does )  I tried to see what else was on the Playmodb wishlist but there are still some technical difficulties there.  Did you get my email from a few weeks ago on that topic?  If not, I can try to send it again.

Hi Indianna,

Nope, didn't get your email. Thanks for the poke about the wishlist: two of the choices are fine ("List of newly updated sets" and "Sets needing verification") but the others are still not working. Most of the first one ("Woody's instructions") ought to be included in "List of newly updated sets"); and there are so few undersize or too-small klicky pictures now, that wouldn't be much good even if working. I've removed them for the time being, until I can get them working or a suitable replacement written.

Something useful to shorten up the wish list, would be information about what sets do NOT have instructions. It's starting to look as if they've made available instructions for all the current sets that actually have them (therefore sets without official instructions DON'T have any), but there have been exceptions, so I'd rather trust the eyes of those with the sets in their hands. Any buyers of DS sets, duo-packs, specials, promo sets, or other small sets, let me know what you can verify for sure has no plans, and I can take them off the wishlist.

Heather - sending you a PM.

The PDF count is up to 1921. The newly searchable PDFs (some were available directly before) are as follows: PlaymoDB List - Newly available in playmobil.de search

Not searchable, but available directly (from the set-page at playmobil.de, or from PlaymoDB) are: PlaymoDB List - Not searchable but available directly

6367 - Lichtelement Stadtreinigung is a new set: blinky lights for 6109 and 6110. Not a new part, but now available by itself.

Hi Heather!
My low-tech "slog" comparison yielded another set which is now searchable at the Playmobil website:  7414 City House Addition.

  I left that off the list since I could have sworn it was there before, but obviously not! 4892 and 5489 were marked as added too, but surely to goodness they were there before. Possibly not searchable though. Finicky system!
