The main part of the project to move LEGO games from Gear item types to Set item
types has been completed. Unfortunately, we could not meet our deadline of November
1 due to some unforeseen circumstances in the code that required fixing. Thankfully,
these kinks got worked out quickly so that we could finally bring this project
to fruition.

A few other games in the Gear item type may still be moved (I need to look into
how to best handle them), but all of the ones with official LEGO set numbers
were moved and are now easily found through category searches as well as set
number searches. All of the minifigures that were associated with all of these
games have also been recategorized under the new category structure used for
the sets.

I would like to thank everyone (sellers, buyers, admins, etc.) for your patience
over the years as we moved towards this goal. I thought at times that it might
never happen, but here we are at last!

Special thanks go to:

(1) Prior admin StormChaser for pushing relentlessly to get this accomplished.
(2) Admin Russell for quickly submitting bug reports and following through on
them.
(3) The "Catalog Squad" at BrickLink for being very responsive to our needs concerning
this project and getting the bugs fixed quickly.

Cheers,
Randy

I'm glad! Buyers really weren't really looking for them in gear.
