One problem I see with some of the inventories out there is that part
numbers are not used when available. Also, there is not yet a good
standard set of part descriptions. The result is that it may not be easy
for someone who has a box of totally mixed Lego, and a list of probable
sets, to go through and be sure they have everything without using the
instructions and actually building the darn thing. I know that even
within the inventories I've been taking, I've not used the same
description every time.
