Jindroush, you raise some good points, but to answer one in particular,

What's the difference between guide on Lugnet and BrickSet? Isn't that
just a mere duplication?

It is partly thanks to Brickset that the Lugnet guide is as good as it is
today. A few years ago there was a degree of 'friendly rivalry' between
Brickset and Lugnet, and following a major enhancemnet of Brickset, I
believe Todd felt the need to beef up the guide in response.

Competition is always a good thing...

At the moment the guide has some advantages over Brickset, and vice-versa.
Myself and Grahame Reid continue to maintain Brickset because it gives us
pleasure to do so and judging from the usage stats, an increasing number of
others are finding it a useful resource.

Of course, if LEGOFan.net provides high quality images and information on
every set produced since the year dot including promotional, regional and
other rare sets, and produces it in a timely manner on or before set
release, I'll be happy to throw in the towel, or maybe adapt Brickset to
take its data from a XML web service or whatever else is provided by
LEGOfan.net

(...) Why there are duplicate set inventories on both Bricklink and Peeron? Why the is no coordination between naming of parts between Bricklink and Peeron? Why there are still '?' in set database while there are existing inventories on BL/P, so (...) (20 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
