Hi All

Hi, Heather!

I was unsure on how to determine the piece count for the set - how are
minifigs & their accessories counted ?

This comes up frequently.  The basic rule for matching the LEGO-supplied
piece count is: anything that comes out of the box in one piece, counts as
one piece.

So for minifigs, the hips & legs are one piece.  The torso, arms, hands,
and head are one piece.  Hats, helmets, visors, airtanks, capes, etc. are
each one piece.

I believe that a pair of flippers counts as one piece, because they are on
a sprue/runner.

What is the best way to handle pieces (in this case, they were all minifig
parts) that can't be found in any database or listing (or Ldraw) ?

You did fine with this.  If the piece has a part number imprinted on it,
use that.  If it's a patterned piece, putting question marks in for the
pattern number is fine.

If you haven't looked at www.peeron.com/inv, you should do so.  It's a
great (and growing) site, with provisional ids for many parts.

Steve
