I've been so absent from the PM online world that I was totally unaware of this until I came accross this thread.
Heather, I too have to show lots of gratitude because of your wonderful website and your amazing job on it.
I am sorry to hear the difficulties you are under to keep it run it all by yourself, but it's totally understandable and I, like many folks on here, would be willing to contribute financially-wise to not loose PlaymoDB, if ever necessary. However it's good to know someone at the Playmobil company is being cooperative. Please keep us informed about how it unfolds.
