Were you able to search for anything, pingo?  I am still getting the same lengthy error message that I got a couple of days ago.  :(

There was a similar discussion some years back when PlaymoDB was also falling behind on set updates etc but Heather politely declined any help offered. In Klickypedia, everyone can contribute and update sets, and so far it is working nicely. If more people could help in data entry in PlaymoDB I believe the site could have been easier to maintain.

One of the most valuable usage of PlaymoDB (at least for me) was/is to find out which (spare) parts of older sets can be found in the sets that are on sale, or can be available in the market. As time passes by and latest sets found in PlaymoDB become obsolete, then this search feature losses its value and to an extend so does PlaymoDB (which is sad).

As I was lamenting on PlaymoDB not being updated etc. it was pointed out in that site (!) that not only PlaymoDB is again up but it also includes a lot of the recent sets as well !!!! even those that will be released later this year....

If Heather is reading this, it is the most welcomed surprise  :love:
Thank you so much!

Some folks have supplied Playmodb with photos and information and some monetary contributions over the years

I am very proud to have been asked by Heather to scan in building instructions for a set - it's probably my greatest contribution to PMdom  ;D 8-) :clover:

That's great news, especially and a test on the 3880 fire engine which came out in the mid-1990s still brings up the instructions from the link to the Playmobil database.

I hope that everyone who wants to offer support and/or ideas will try to contact Heather and let her know how much her efforts mean to them.  The email address from the website is: playmodb@gmail.com

Done!

Heather is the best  8-)
