Funny you should meantion that Greg - I am working on precisely that type of
application. If you go to the PaBTrak homepage at www.pabtrak.com , in the
right hand panel, there is a VERY brief explanation of what the site is
going to be;
"What is PaBTrak.com?
The main functionality of PaBTrak.com is currently under development and
will be available shortly.
This site will be the place to come to find out which LEGO® pieces are
available for purchase at Pick-A-Brick in the LEGO® stores worldwide.
PaBTrak.com will be launching soon, so watch out for announcements in all
the usual places!"
The site is being written right now and should be ready soon(ish). I am
hoping to get as much help from various sources both from inside the LEGO
company and from members of the community as well.
Oh - and based on the current experience of my server, I'll be ordering a
brand new one before I launch the site!!
The site is very much intended to be by the community, for the community and
I will be posting a request for help message within a few weeks so those who
may want to help can volunteer.
Stay tuned for more information!
Hope it helps,
Richard
