I have just noticed an excellent feature on Playmodb that I had never noticed before. When viewing a set information page, near the top of the page is a clickable link that says "Show text-only list with quantities" - this takes you to a printable list of all the parts in the set with their part number, name, and, of course their QUANTITY! :confetti:
Heather, is this new or have I been more than usually dim-witted of late? 8} ;D

That's good to know :yup:!

Sweeeet! :D Thanks Indianna!

No, it's not new... no other aspersions intended! I guess it's not very obvious. Anybody know a good flashing-neon-light Javascript?
A word about the text-only list: it may contain phantom parts, as it says at the bottom. Anything without a quantity has not been confirmed (yet) by the instructions. I keep them in there because (usually) they come from playmobil.de, and may be the newer version of the part on the plans. Then again, it may be the _plain_ version of a printed part - I don't know why they include them! - but the source rules. Then again again, it may be because I haven't gotten around to doing the confirmations yet. Any questions, just ask. Glad you're finding it useful.
Cheers, Heather

Oh, I'm using quite a time the DB but also didn't spot this feature, although I actually already had the problem in the past not knowing exactly how many items are in the set (I think that I can remember some time ago it has been listed under the picture also but not sure).
But as you said Heather: it stands right and clear in plain text at the bottom of the page "Show text-only list with quantities" and as the hint came I also can see it bright and clear now, so no need for any neon lights :lol:
-
Like everyone else, I missed it, and, like everyone else, I'm going to use it now.

Ditto, I never spotted it. I'm usually searching the db for parts to order as spares, and numbers in a set don't matter, but that's a very handy feature!

Thanks for the reply, Heather - as always, you are very kind-hearted (not to cast aspersions on my obvious dimness, that is! ;) )
This is a super feature and another reminder that Playmodb is an important and valuable resource for the entire worldwide community of Playmo-fans. :clap: :*)

I did see that too and have wondered for some time where the quantities went??
But this is much better!

Yes, especially because I can nearly use this as copy & paste template for my DS orderings.
