Hello, I hope someone from the Bricklink team reads me. Here is my suggestion: why not expand Bricklink towards Playmobil products? While the AFOP community isn't quite as vibrant as the AFOL community, there are many adult fans of Playmobil out there (including me) who have been sharing and buying/selling for years now on different internet forums. We even have our own sets/parts database at playmodb.org But this community lacks a global and well-organized marketplace like Bricklink. So why not expand? It would be a bit of work from the Bricklink team's part, but adapting Bricklink's framework to Playmobil products should be doable, especially if you use the playmodb database which would spare you quite some trouble. And it ultimately would mean more money for you. I'd very much like you to consider this project. If playmolink or klicklink or whatever its name was ever created, I'd certainly be the first to set up shop and do publicity on your behalf to the AFOP community. Thank you for your attention and have a nice day
