I am surprised no one has mentioned the fibblesnork minifig guide. This
is an excellent way to determine what figs go with a set. John DiR has
turned it inside out so you can root through figs and determine what
sets they go with.
I have to go to bed now... I can't find the definitive URL for either of
these. The links page, (http://www.lugnet.com/links/) while spiffier in
appearance, is now harder to use, IMHO. I think it would be better if
ALL sites were indexed by owner, and also categorized. Mine is just
listed bare, but can be categorised under several different categories.
But some sites are listed ONLY by category so I have to read the mind of
the categorizer....
I think John's reverse fig index is in here somewhere:
http://www114.pair.com/ig88/lego/index.htm
and I think the fibblesnork fig guide is in here somewhere:
http://www.fibblesnork.com/

| (...) I linked to Fibblesnork pages with the hope she'd check the minifigures out, but I didn't know about John DiR's page. Cool. Thanks, Larry. This is one of the most useful things about Fibblesnork - the minifig scans. Fibblesnork is no longer (...) (25 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
