Yeah, and that's just Phase 1. No, this is kind of like the reverse of Brickset. They started out as a set index, and have expanded to add more and more community features and comments. (They've been expanding a lot actually. ) We're adding this index to make things easier for members to find reviews as searching through the forum isn't feasible. That you can do already; enter in "2009", select "Town", press "Perform the Search". (As it turns out there are no 2009 Town sets in there yet; try it with Sci-Fi or Technic. ) It's not like that actually; it's stored as Theme and Forum. Also, the way I have done this it's quite easy to change a set from one forum to another. Yes, that will be done. I am hoping though that with this it'll be easier for people to find what sets need to be reviewed. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions!

Set number, year and theme should work; it's a one search box for all. However price, part and fig number are not searched as they would skew the results. In time I'll probably add a search in one field only feature, but from my testing it's not needed... yet. That's the problem with searching for sets in the forum; you get too much returned. Here with a smaller custom database it should work far better... or so I hope!

Good spotting! I just did that 5 minutes before!

The Star Wars reviews will be updated in the next few days. I was going to do them but I then noticed how many there were. Great work EB!

Having trouble finding a review? This will (hopefully) become a thing of the past with the new Eurobricks LEGO Set Index! While it's currently incomplete (included are all Sci-Fi, Licensed, Technic and Fabuland, but only some Town and Star Wars) in a month or two it should contain at the least all recent sets making it the place to go first. Depending on how this goes it could replace all set related indexes on Eurobricks. Aside from links to reviews it also contains basic set data and links to other major LEGO sites where you can find out more about the set or even buy it! Please note though that not all set numbers are 100% official, so in some cases the links will be mixed up or just plain wrong, especially when there are two sets for a particular number. For example with 8858 Brickset disagrees with the rest. Also, sets from 2006 onwards have a Shop@Home link, but obviously not all are still available. (6212 is one of the few.) So how does one find the Index? To make things easy for all you just need to press the "Set Index" button in the top navigation bar! (N.B. It won't be shown in the Pirate Forum as there's no room at the moment. ) Alternatively you can just use this link. Originally this was going to be launched as a Sci-Fi forum only index, but I was persuaded to add Fabuland. Then Shadows and Hinckley helped me with the Licensed and Town forum thus as a result it's over qualified for Sci-Fi, and under qualified as a complete index. Long term I have a lot of plans for this already, but since the database is incomplete it's a good time to post any suggestions. One thing that will be added is user editing for long term (not just Staff/Fellows) members for those that want their review indexed now now NOW! Until then there is a "Feedback" button which will send me a message of what needs to be done. You can also use this to tell us of any errors, but other comments/questions I would prefer to be made here. It's important to note that while it looks somewhat like EB and it's hosted on EB it really isn't part of EB. Thus there are no links to your member profile and you won't get PM notifications while you're using the index. For those wanting to use the Set Feedback Form the current secret knock is tinkle. Status Update 1: Star Wars is waaay incomplete. Please don't report any problems there... Status Update 2: Star Wars updated with reviews, but it only includes the original trilogy. The rest is next. Status Update 3: Added UCS Star Wars sets Status Update 4: Town 2011 and 2009 Status Update 5: Added Star Wars Episode 1 Status Update 6: Added Action Figures Status Update 7: Added Star Wars Clone Wars

Isn't that a KIC question? In any case I'll merge this with the existing Dream Licenses topic.

You know what's funny? You joined up and wrote that giant rant in three minutes and then logged off. Sure you might be a honest person who is so pissed at Ship It To that you're going around to sites insulting them, but you could just be a competitor or a company that is against the concept of dodging export restrictions. Thus your "honest review" is rather worthless...

You're about as good at surprises as I am!
-
Not a prob... and we get a lot of requests for a facepalm.

I think it was one of those fake ad campaigns that people do so they have something in their portfolios.

It's possible, but I'd need to mod the board. Have you tried pressing the -><- button? That's supposed to take you to where you last read from.
-
Yeah, I got that one too. I much prefer the old one. I'm hoping that TLG has a plan with that piece and will go back to the old design after. Arthur.
-
Yeah, fair point. No pin holes either. There's another story here that has a link to the creators site. (It's Flash heavy and in Russian... )
-
Shame they are just done with photo editing. For example this "piece". Errr... what exactly is that? ...and how did they get the cannons to pass though the hull of the ship... and where did those pincer pieces come from?
-
I believe this one was done by Shadows and Hinckley...
-
Shhhh!

Not normally; three months+ is more common. It's just the timing; Theme month -> Halloween (which we missed last year ) -> End of Halloween. It'll probably be the same for a while then.

He's waiting for me to fix it for him again. Do you mean this one?

He was a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu, and dismissed just as quickly. He didn't exist. He was never even born.

Mr. E is dead. I killed him some time ago.

I've merged your post with the existing topic; no need for a new one.

Who is the best bounty hunter? (besides the Fetts)

Yep, time to close this spamfest.
