LUGNET is pleased to announce a new and improved LEGO set database:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/

Improvements over the previous database include:

New Display Options
   Chose compact lists, thumbnails, or fully-detailed pages to browse • through.

Smarter Searches
   Display any range of set numbers, or use product category names to • get
   better results returned to you.

Integrated Shopping
   See a set you like?  If it's available for sale online, check the • LUGNET
   BrickwiseT[1] mini-report righ there on the set page.

Set Tracking
   If you're a LUGNET Member[2], you can add your own notes right on the • set
   pages.  You can also mark a set as owned, want-to-buy, or • want-to-sell.
   This can help you find the sets you need to be complete.

Members' Choice
   LUGNET Members[2] can also rank the best (and worst) sets of all time • by
   casting votes with a new Rating System appearing with each set's • page.


Todd,

The new stuff is great!  How about a ranking system similar to
Fibblesnork?  Except mayby a ranking for part selection rather than
alternate models.  I've always found the multi-dimensional ranking on
Fibblesnork very helpfull in choosing what sets to pursue.

I agree with John on this one.  Both a ranking for the Set and for the Part
Selection would be nice.  The biggest example of this would be 7151-Sith
Infiltraitor http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7151 .  Poor Set in terms of the Model
but a great Parts set.
