(...) When you say you downloaded your set list, what do you mean? If you just entered your lugnet id, it takes a bit until the server goes to download your set list. If you go to (URL) you see your sets? LMK! Dan (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.inv)

I just tried it. I saw my set list (on Peeron, not Lugnet) and picked one of the sets I owned (8860). I then used "Try to build" and although it got most of the parts, There were several that were yellow and a few red. I do think it's a great tool. (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.inv)

(...) Quite possible - it ignores the copies of the set you're trying to build. Since if you own an ISD (10030), and try to build one from your parts, it's already known you have the parts for it. So Peeron is checking if you have the parts to build (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.inv)
