First. Thanks for all the compliments.

About the ability to sort. I really want to do this, but it's not that easy.
This would require databasing the site. Not that I am opposed to it, I just
don't know how. The one solution that I have been able to find on the web is
FindItList.

But it has it's limitations. First, I can only have one URL per set. Meaning
only linking to the sale and not being able to link to the information page on
the set. Also it is limited to 5 fields. And it actually costs money. It is
also Java, so it's not going to work on everyone's machine.

I do do this to an extent. I don't know if you saw the set pages but I list
all currently available Lego sets along with basic information on those sets
and then both show the prices these are available at and also link to the
exact page for the set on Amazon, KB Kids, and eToys. More retailers coming
soon:

There are currently 4 ways to look for sets.
By the by these three have around a 100 sets each. That's 300 links to create
and keep track of. And I am trying to add more everyday, it is a huge task.
Again, thanks for the comments. You are the first person to actually give me
some feedback on the site which is greatly appreciated.
