Todd, Would it be possible to add a cross reference in the set guide for sets with multiple set numbers such as the Galaxy Explorer <set:928> and <set:497>? Perhaps even just a link in the description of the set when it indicates it is the same as (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
