Both refer to the same set, but there is some difference in (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks Todd :-) What struck me as interesting is that (old) idea books (6000, 8888) made it in the top ranks of the best rated sets. The 'most wanted' list is also very interesting: the top is dominated with train sets and the 8480 Space (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general)

(...) Oops, my fault. That database doesn't know that 497 and 928 are the exact same set under different numbers. People rated both very highly. The fact that 928 got fewer votes (instances of ratings) indicates that more people probably have 497 (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general)

Great list but what is this... (...) Hey I like train stuff but really... The most confounding thing about it is that 21 people took the time to rate it and so many rated it so high.

Yeah, I was also suprised by the 'accessory' sets: 26. 93.33 9 7860 Remote Controlled Signal with Straight Track 43. 91.36 22 4515 Straight Tracks Of course it'd be probably most interesting to filter out everything with less than X votes or (...)

(...) I don't see any problem with folks rating that one. If I was into 12V trains I'd probably rate it high also. (...) That certainly is unusual, but I suspect that it mostly is an "error" due to the small sample size (none of the sets has more (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general)

Since this list consists predominantly of sets from the last 20 years, I would add a few others that I think people would have loved, had they been old enought to enjoy them (from the 60's and 70's). Here's my own top 7 list of older sets: 1) (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.general)

It's probably similar to why the Toyota Corolla always got a higher rating than the Geo Prism, even though they were the same car built in the same factory-- people percieve "Toyotas" as better than "Geos".
