| | Question on part naming
|

I noticed some inconsistancy in the naming of some of the wedge parts. Some are named with the smaller number first, and others are named with the numbers placed to match the numbers used on bricks based on the X and Z axes. For example, 41765 is (...)

Peeron does not have this in inventory. It's found as a leg or arm armour on all the good knights in Knights Kingdom. How do I ask Peeron to include this part in their inventory? This is going to be a fun part to author! (20 years ago, 10-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
