Looks good!
Thanks!

Something I'd like to be able to see would be searching by two different
items eg theme and date, so I could see all the Space sets in 1987.

I think we'll need to add some kind of advanced search.  Right now if you
do some URL hacking you can get it to do logical-or, IIRC, on the theme
(category) and date (year), but of course it needs to be logical-and instead.

As an alternative, being able to sort the result set by year, or price, or
number of pieces would be useful (especially year).

Ya, that would rock!

Are the minifig searches from Fibblesmork going to be rolled into this
new guide some time?

Yes, some time, but we're not sure when.

It was/is really useful to know which sets a particular minifig appeared in.

I think Huw Millington's database called BrickSet shows this info for many of
the sets.
