Thanks Heather,
I had not thought to consult Margo's inventories, which I downloaded long
ago, but always forget to utilize. When I downloaded the inventories, I
thought they could be more useful in a database or spreadsheet form, where I
could search to find which sets had a specific part. You seemed to find
those pretty quickly; have you or someone else done what I am thinking
about?
I am really grateful to Margo for all that work she did on the
inventories, as well as for her master Castle set list, and it would be nice
if I and others could use all that info more easily. I also wish those fans
of other types of Lego would inventory their stuff like she did, so I could
find cheaper alternatives when searching for specific pieces - Castle is a
kinda pricey theme.

Have fun!

| Yes, I made a spreadsheet for myself with all the elements in it - just concatenated Margo's text files, stripped the headers, and then sorted by piece type and colour. I use Excel, which makes it easy to do filters and sorts without fooling around (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
