Amazing. Why should they put those online?  :hmm:
The list includes sets that are not yet released in the US?!
Or do you already have these sets available?
4398 - Mitnehm-WesternCity
4366 - Tuning Station with Black Car
4365 - Tuning Station with White Car

Well, I guess heather will be really happy! :)

best,
socrates

Thanks for the heads-up, Bonnie!  This is a wonderful development.   :love:

There is something I can't figure out, though.  I can't see any sort of list of all the available sets.  When I press the button that says "370 show files" I can only see 8 sets pictured or if I put in a specific set number (different from the original 8) I can see that set but I can't figure out how to see a list of all the sets with available instructions.  Is there a way to do that?  Maybe I need a software update or something.   ???

No they aren't here yet, they have the entire farm and harbor series that just came out.
I suspect this will be up at all the sites eventually, they just got the US one up first - or weren't supposed to have released it yet.

There is a page bar across the bottom with arrows to go forward a page

Hi Tim!  I figured there must be something like that, but it doesn't show up on my screen.  There is a note at the bottom of the page that says "Done, errors on page" so I am thinking I need to update something.

OK, so if I use Firefox I can see the page bar to advace to other pages of the building instructions list.  I have done everything I can think of to Internet Explorer, including upgrading to IE9 but I still can't see the page bar.   :hmm:  Does anyone have any other ideas?

Oh yes - tears of joy over here. Thanks for pointing it out, Bonnie! I'm downloading everything, in case they ever disappear.  They're such high quality images, I'll have no trouble improving the part pictures quite a bit. There's loads of add-on sets here too, which are very hard to find plans for.

My first priority is to get sets with newly-acquired plans out of the wishlist! I also need to make it show on the page whether the plans are available to download from the official site. After that, I'll inventory those new sets and complete any incomplete inventories, then start upgrading pictures.  I figure I'll be at it all spring.

This is a fantastic development, and should help everyone enormously, in assembly if they lost their instructions, ordering spare parts (if they're available), and choosing what sets to buy based on their contents.

Well done Playmobil!

Finally, what the heck was the hold up. They have the money, they have the staff, they have the info, they have the platform to share so why be so secretive about plans ? Its not like they were making a fortune on selling replacement plans.

Thank you Geobra

Good grief, girlfriend!  Can we help out in any way, shape, or form?  Otherwise your fingers will be worn down to mere nubs by the time you are finished.   :omg:
