My problem is that numbers on both sides of the head are claimed by other groups. For example, the *p64.dat series is claimed by Unitron, and the *p62.dat series is claimed by part of Ice Planet 2002. I could do as I have proposed for minifig shortcuts (i.e. 979p63a.dat & 979p63b.dat), but would run short of characters ("3626Bp63b.dat" is more than 8 characters). So my question is, what number do I try to give this new head, even though it has very little difference from the first? Putting that issue aside for awhile, it also reminds me of a new question. Because of the changing nature of minifig faces... at least those made after circa 1992, One can only be left to wonder what happens after the 100th (non-Star Wars) head is submitted? I guess whenever that happens, we can make little LEGO figures in blue and white and make the whole set look like Smurfs. ha ha ha (or is that "Smurves"?) Oh well... it's all in good-humored, "brick-laying" fun! -- James J. jejackso@memphis.edu P.S.: If you can really see a Dr. Cyber head as Brainy and Timmy as Clumsy, then it ain't funny anymore.

I've almost finished the Minifig Head with Darth Maul pattern but I don't have a part number yet. I remember seeing a post a while ago with the URL to the page that keeps track of patterned part numbers but I can't find it - can anyone let me know? (...)
