I was going to post this with the debate on the 10152 sets in Maersk blue instead of dark blue, but I didn't want to get involved.

Come on Richie, you have to give us more information than that. What is the metric you use to calculate the average? Set number? Pieces? Age of set? For the set re-releases, do you use the old set number, or the new set number? Also, what is your (...) (21 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.loc.au)
