I am pleased to announce that Brickset, the popular LEGO set database, is now available at http://www.brickset.com The www.brickset.co.uk address will also remain for the time being, but please update your bookmarks. There are three supported entry points to the site: The home page: http://www.brickset.com Set search: http://www.brickset.com/search.asp?set=xyz where xyz can be a set number, a range of numbers or all or part of a theme, subtheme or set name. e.g http://www.brickset.com/search.asp?set=6876 http://www.brickset.com/search.asp?set=6800-6899 http://www.brickset.com/search.asp?set=Blacktron http://www.brickset.com/search.asp?set=Alienator Set view: http://www.brickset.com/view.asp?set=xyz where xyz is the set number and varant number, used to distinguish between sets with the same number. This is usually the same as the lugnet.com variant number and will be 1 if there is only one set with that set number. e.g. http://www.brickset.com/view.asp?set=6876-1 (show the Blacktron Alienator) http://www.brickset.com/view.asp?set=6600-1 (show the 1981 Police Patrol set) http://www.brickset.com/view.asp?set=6600-2 (show the 2000 Highway Construction set) The latter form is useful for linking to Brickset from auction listings. [Technical note: At present brickset.com is merely a URL redirector to the site's usual location. When I have found a reasonably priced NT virtual server hosting package I will move it] Huw Founder and administrator, Brickset.

Yoohoo! I've forgotten more than once that it's in .co.uk, .com makes it much easier to remember. Thanks! :-) -Shiri
