I wish I could remember the user who I used to talk to here who would get upset
because Daniel wasn't interested in listing the older non-brick items in
the catalog. This is not a Lego history site; it is a marketplace.

Sorry man but bricklink is a catalog first and market place second. That's
why the catalog is as detailed as it is.


You are incorrect. BrickLink was created as a marketplace first and foremost.
The reason that it attained such a detailed catalog beyond that is due to the
fact that the marketplace was very successful and fans wanted to help make it
better.
