I need help with the content of some old sets.

[Rhalius]

I have been busy putting my 14 year older brother and 10 year older sister's playmobil together in the last days, but have some troubles with it.

They dont know anymore what belonged to whom, so might not be sure about the little details of the sets either so I figured I might as well ask here.
There are quite a few broken and missing parts, including quite a lot of parts that where appearantly already broken or missing before I started playing with it! I can remember some things, but other parts not at all, and they never assembled it as intended, aside from the prison tower.

The archives on the dutch playmobil site are helping a great deal, but they don't show the full inventory and any possible variations.

Anyways, on to my questions:

the 3232-A set from 1976 has a bike with it, I presume my brother had this set since it seems to work out with all the equipment in there, but the bike I have here is green and not blue. Could this just be a slightly different version of it?

The 3313-A set from 1975, construction worker with wheelbarrow, does it have two cones with it or just one as depicted? I have two here so if theres two in this set that would solve where the other one belongs.

I have a yellow crate of beer here, and two orange construction hats. What set could this be part of? I dont have any construction equipment here that could explain it, but such parts could be broken or missing. For tools I just have a shovel, pick and woodcutter's axe remaining. Unless its  one set with the above mentioned (orange) wheelbarrow.

3412-A shepard with sheep, is the shepard a man or woman? I dont have a male clicky here with white legs, white arms and a red chest unless hes been missing as long as I can remember.

I also have five cone shaped classic soldier helmets here, and seven classic breastplates. What could this belong to? the cone helmets seem common on clickies with a silver torso, but I only have one of them here which I assumed was a drummer in a small set.

And lastly, what assecoires came with the 3550 pirate ship? Its difficult to make out from the picture, is the pirate in red wearing a strap for his sword?

the best way for somehting like this is to go here www.playmodb.org
you can find everything there searching by set number.

Since these sets aren't inventoried... this might be difficult to use the database for all of these sets...


Here is what I found

http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3488
this set has the same bike in green... I have an all (mostly) green bike from a US set from that period as well... so depends on how green it is

the 3412 shepherd is definitely a male klicky... BUT that doesn't mean they didn't accidentally put a klack in there instead 

http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3400 I think this is the only old construction set with both a yellow crate AND 2 orange hats..

for the helmet there was a knights add on set early on that came with a single cone helmet... so it could be from that

And lastly, what assecoires came with the 3550 pirate ship?

For the 3550 pirate ship, this evening (when i will be at home) I will take a picture of the back's box, because there is an inventory. I will also check on the instruction sheet, but if I'm not wrong there is no inventory on it....

Its difficult to make out from the picture, is the pirate in red wearing a strap for his sword?

yes the pirate in red wear a strap for his sword

thanks very helpfull. 

Is it possible though that the old sets did not always have a clicky with it with the proper hairstyle or horses of a different color?
I am already out of brown hair and switched around quite a bit, but it seems to be required quite often still.

[Baron Marshall]

absolutely... there was a LOT of leeway in the old sets... I had a 3051 set... and the black peg-legged klicky that is supposed to be blonde had black hair...

when you write proper hairstyle do you mean "hair cut" or "hair color?
for hair color Baron Marshall answer it, for the horse color it's the same. If I'm not wrong on the old box it's written something like "color may be different of the picture".
But if you are talking about hair cut, I never had a box with this case.
May be someone else?

Colors could vary. Used to be stated in the boxes.

I remember we bought an individual policeman SPECIFICALLY for the blonde hair.. and the guy came with black hair. A NASTY surprise.
