| Re: Seventh Catalog Project - Titles Update - StormChaser (569) | [...] Taking a hard look at item numbers is another huge project which is on my distant radar. Item numbers aren't changed very often because it can have negative effects [...]

| Re: Seventh Catalog Project - Titles Update - StormChaser (569) | [...] Right, but adding trooper at the beginning of all troopers will group them all together and fit in with the larger plan for all minifigures. As I said, this initial [...]
