Errata

The book is of course never complete and never completely correct. Several supporters already offered their help to find mistakes. I would like to share them with you, so that we deal with them only once. Please comment on this post to add your corrections to the book.

  • On page 148, lic.stw.ep3.2005.20 is referred to as “Medical Droid”. Its name is actually “FX-9 Surgical Assistant Droid” – Thanks David!
  • On page 148, lic.stw.ep3.2007.05 is showing set number 4755-1 on page 313. This is a Harry Potter set number. The actual set number Kit Fisto appeared in in 2007 was: 7661 – Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring. – Thanks David!

Contributions to the catalog

Several fans have offered their help with completing and maintaining the catalog. I am very grateful for this support. Below you find a list of the missing Minifigure. I will update the list, so that we avoid duplicating effort. Right now I intend to complete the Minifigure in the catalog. The required photos for 2011 will be posted later.

You can either photograph them yourself or send me the Minifigure. I will then photograph it and send it back. You can email the photographs to info@minifigure.org. I will review the photographs and then decide if the photograph is of a sufficient quality for the catalog. Please feel free to also send me some trial photographs before getting busy on a larger batch. I can also offer you an server to which you can upload larger quantities of photographs.

We Won A Bright Ideas Research Grant!

The University of Canterbury has a funding program “Bright Ideas”. It is a fund whose purpose is to help develop an innovative culture which encourages technology based ideas to “escape” from the University into the world at large.  The spirit of “Bright Ideas” funding is to responsively support early stage ideas and help take them to the next stage with a maximum of flexibility and a minimum of bureaucracy.

I am happy to announce that we received a Bright Idea Grant to help us develop the App. Our new goal is to develop a cross platform App. Including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux. Lets hope we can make it work.
