LEGO Sets

Inserting LEGO sets in your pages is easy. All you need is the set number from LUGNET’s LEGO Set database.

You write...

<<LEGOSet(6399)>>

<<LEGOSet(6990)>>

<<LEGOSet(6991)>>

You get...


    6054 Forestmen's Hideout
198 elements, 2 figures, US$17.50, 1988
LEGO > SYSTEM > Castle > Forestmen


    6066 Camouflaged Outpost
211 elements, 6 figures, US$23, 1987
LEGO > SYSTEM > Castle > Forestmen


    6071 Forestmen's Crossing
203 elements, 5 figures, US$28.50, 1990
LEGO > SYSTEM > Castle > Forestmen


Beware of ambiguities

The LEGO Company has, unfortunately, on occasion released two or more sets under the same set number. For example, LEGO set #6848 was used in 1985 and then again in 1988!


    6848 Strategic Pursuer
58 elements, 1 figure, 1988
LEGO > SYSTEM > Space > Futuron
 

    6848 Interplanetary Shuttle
50 elements, 1 figure, 1985
LEGO > SYSTEM > Space > {Classic}

Stranger things have happened. In 1989, a value pack numbered #1974 used that same number #1974 for all three of the constituent sets within it!


    1974 Bonus Pack
158 elements, 4 figures, US$10, 1989
LEGO > SYSTEM > Bonus Packs
 

    1974 Flyercracker U.S.A.
1 figure, 1989
LEGO > SYSTEM > Town > {}
 

    1974 Smuggler's Hayride
48 elements, 2 figures, 1989
LEGO > SYSTEM > Castle > Forestmen
 

    1974 Star Quest
1 figure, 1989
LEGO > SYSTEM > Space > Futuron

And in 2000, the DUPLO Egg set #2751 actually came in four different flavors:


    2751 {DUPLO egg puppy}
5? elements, 0 figures, US$4, 2000
LEGO > DUPLO > {Eggs}
 

    2751 {DUPLO egg racecar}
1 figure, US$4, 2000
LEGO > DUPLO > {Eggs}
 

    2751 {DUPLO egg baby stroller}
1 figure, US$4, 2000
LEGO > DUPLO > {Eggs}
 

    2751 {Little Forest Friends egg}
1 figure, US$4, 2000
LEGO > DUPLO > Little Forest Friends > {Eggs}


Avoiding ambiguities

In cases of ambiguity, an appendage is applied to the set number. A fully unambiguous Set ID consists of the set number (for example 1974), followed by an underscore (“_”), followed by an issue number (almost always 1, but in the case of set #1974, it’s 1, 2, 3, or 4).

You write...

<<LEGOSet(1974_4)>>

You get...


    1974 Star Quest
1 figure, 1989
LEGO > SYSTEM > Space > Futuron

How do you figure out what number to put after the underscore? You look at the very end of the URL in the set database and use that. For example, if this is the URL of the set that you want to show:

      http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6861_2

then you would write:

      <<LEGOSet(6861_2)>>
