OK, so here's my whole spiel on themes... This is a medium-term planning thing (1-3 months) and a background task while other stuff goes on. I don't expect we'll have the new theme tree completely worked out before the end of January or Februrary. (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

What is a set? - a bunch of pieces, and - a building instruction booklet, and - a box (or bucket or polybag)? The following are transcripts of notes taken last summer when mulling over the question of how to data-model sets and value packs. (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) That classification doesn't work anymore. TLG is coming out with new themes that don't fit under the big four; Aquazone was the first of these. And besides the theme classifications, there has always been Basic/Freestyle and 'unclassified'. To (...) (26 years ago, 4-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) I agree 100% that the current classifications are inconsistent, but I disagree that 1590 and 2140 should be under the one label of Promotional. Yes, whatever category they end up in, they should [almost for sure] both be in the same category, (...) (26 years ago, 3-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) 2140 has no "Town" label on it. But it's in a blue background box like other Town sets. I prefer to proceed the other way: 2140 says "LEGO System" on it. Therefore it is not Technic, nor Duplo, nor Primo. Given that it is "System".. is it (...) (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Do they have the Town logo on them, or are they in some other identified as being part of Town? If not, they shouldn't be labeled as part of Town. Steve (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) Disagree. IMNSHO Promotional should be a modifier of availability, not set type. Both ANWBs are Town, dunno if "general" or not, but the one with the car transporter available now is "general" I guess. (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

I think the classification of Promotional sets is a bit inconsistent. For example some are listed under their theme "Town, General" and some are listed under "Promotional, Something". An example of this is the 2 ANWB sets, the original one is listed (...) (26 years ago, 2-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
