I just noticed that when you enter a part number (any part number) in the url address of a 'klicky details' page such as http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/klicky.pl?partnum=30-24-4770- as mentioned above- you now get several pictures of the part as well as a list (with pictures) of the set in which it is found. This will be very useful for checking you are looking at the part you want in the colour you want.

Thanks Heather!

That can be very useful.  Thanks for highlighting it, Graham.

Is there a way to find out in which theme (in PlaymoDB) a specific set belongs to?

No, there isn't currently an easy way to do this- just search likely themes here http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/sets.pl. Sometimes it can be tricky to track down a set to a theme.

If you want to find an inventory or picture of a specific set, enter the set number here http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/your_set_list.pl. This doesn't give you the theme, however.

I find that is mostly a matter of opinion... no?

I 'm keeping a record of the sets that I have and it is helpful to keep it under specific themes (instead of sorting them by product number). This way (sort by theme) I can see what I may be missing in each category etc...

Yes, apart from Geobra's own catalogues, which put sets together in themes, it is a matter of personal opinion. I sometimes use PlaymoDB's themes, but some are less useful ('Knights' covers a wide variety of sets, 'Traffic' covers some but not all vehicles, 'Rescue' covers both 'Fire and Rescue' and Hospitals, 'Free Time' and 'Leisure' seem to cover similar sets and so on. I guess some of the themes reflect different phases in PM development.
