For the past few months, we've been working with LEGO on a very special
project. I'm happy to announce today, that it's ready to go live.

Very soon, the Peeron database will be linked directly to LEGO's
internal inventory database. This means that we will have the complete
and 100% accurate data for every set LEGO has released since at least
the early 80s, and to a much greater detail than before.

But even better, this means that inventories for NEW sets will be
availalbe even *BEFORE* the sets are released!

I'd like to thank everyone at LEGO who made this possible, and the
Peeron development team for working very hard on setting this up.

We hope this new data will be useful to everyone.

Dan and Jennifer Boger

(...) Holy kickboxing babies, Batman, that’s some great news! If Peeron and LEGO’s parts inventory databases are intimately linked, and parts lists could be floating around in there for sets on file and awaiting production, might I be able to do an (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.inv, FTX)
