  Re: Thoughts on Parts Taxonomy
 
I like the idea of better indexing, and would be happy to incorporate any new method into peeron - now someone just has to write it :) I know that indexing by a non-unique field (which is the part number) is a bad thing - it's just the easiest and (...)

  Thoughts on Parts Taxonomy
 
Currently, there are three active major part databases out there: Partsref, Peeron Inventories, and the BrickLink Catalog.

(...) Actually, I don't even recognize the parts. My knowledge of 2001--2002 parts is minimal---I think I have fewer than a dozen open sets from those years. ---...--- TWS Garrison tgarriso@math.purdue.edu (URL) (22 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
 
  Re: Going nuts trying to identify a part! (redux)
 
(...) You do recognize the part itself, yes? I know the numbers aren't canon yet--but the geometry of the piece (4x4 base to 2x4 top, last brick height toes in at 45-deg, with 2x2 hollow studs and two one- finger click hinge bits) I hope is clear.

Thomas--if you've got it in immediate memory, there are two items that've defying my search: The new Jack Stone container (part # stamped on the 4x4x4 container piece is 30639) and the "doors" that connect via a click hinge (numbered 30625).

  Re: HELP identify a 2x4 plate, 1/2 thickness (not 1/3)
 
(...) Clone? (do they have LEGO(r) on the studs?) Tyco(tm), IIRC, used 1/2 thick plates. But I'm hazy on clones (they're not Lego, after all...) so could be all wet. ++Lar (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
