I like your site, sofar and as other already have stated it looks very
promising.
But the principle about describing parts as new just because it is the first
time it is seen in a Technic-set I disagree with
In the description of the 856 Bulldozer you have this description of the Bucket
End part:

I think that description is somewhat nonsense. Firstly that part had indeed been
seen before in quite a few sets and secondly it was not unusual for LEGO to
produce specialized parts at that time. For example, take a look at some of the
old train sets. They contains various specialized parts.
Nevertheless, I am looking forward to see new additions to your site.
