Can someone correct/fix the 'New' AquaRaiders listed on the LUGNET database
'Released' year should be '2007' not 2006.

Just because LEGO released the series late 2006, it does not mean it is a 2006
theme.  Even LEGO mention the theme is a 2007 line not 2006.

Only thing that needs to be change on the database is the year from 2006 to
2007, for all of the 'new' AquaRaiders sets. #7770, #7771, #7772,
#7773, #7774, #7775.

Thanks,

Normally the databse is updated with the year the set was actually available on
the market, not the year LEGO had planned it to be marketed.

If that was true. The database on LUGNET, Brickset, BrickLink and Perron would
have to change the years listed on all of the sets.  In other words all the
information is incorrect.

And the new 2007 Star Wars sets that are in stores now or on LEGO.com should be
2006.  And not forget the new #6162, 6163 sets etc. If the copyright year on the
box saids 2007, it should be 2007.

LEGO always releases a few new sets of the up and coming new year in November
and December.  It is a way to show off a sample of the new sets to the customers
on what is coming up next year.  It is a marketing thing that every company
does.  For example car companies release their 2007 models cars in
September/October.

The bottom line it messes up in searching on LUGNET along with other LEGO fan
sites like Bricklink, Brickset and Perron.

P.S. In fact Perron website also has the 'year' incorrect on all six new
AquaRaiders 2007 sets. Since

(...) Well, Peeron uses the data provided by LUGNET (whenever possible), so a fix here would automatically propagate to Peeron. (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.general)
