Not in direct response to your post, Anthony, but as general info:

LUGNET also has access to many of the latest pics of newest sets, but I've
chosen not to pursue getting them into our database in a hurry. This is for a
number of reasons, including:

- It's time consuming, and seems redundant. I haven't the interest or
competitive drive to hunt down 'hot' info for LUGNET, while others (with
their own sites) do, and provide a great service to the community that way.

- The LUGNET set database is more of a long-term project that I'd like to
see focus on a thorough history. So, I'm more inclined (assuming I had time) to
enter 35 old DUPLO sets, never before mentioned (even if they're not so
newsworthy).
