it exists.
Any ideas?

get search results that apply.

As shown in the images above (the second two), a search for “Pixal” yields “P.I.X.A.L.”,
so there would not be any problem for those who search with the non-punctuated
spelling.

If Lego.com refers to her as Pixal on their website and on the set box and in
the set's description then I agree with BL not to change it. The punctuated
form of Pixal is only used by Lego.com in the bio you referred to which is not
even easy to find.
I understand your point and agree with it when looked at from more of a purist
point of view but not even Lego.com deems it important to refer to her using
the punctuated form of her name so again I think BL made the right decision.

While I understand that the name on the box is “Pixal”, her official bio
on the Ninjago section of LEGO.com has her name as “P.I.X.A.L.” (See images).
Additionally, searches for “Pixal”/“PIXAL” yield both her standard (“Pixal”)
and Samurai X variants (the latter of which has the proper capitalisation/punctuation)
- (See images). Thus, changing the capitalisation/punctuation of (njo086) causes
no search problems, is correct, is accurate to LEGO’s own character bio, and
is consistent with the names of the character’s other variants.
From my perspective, the only reason to retain the current spelling of
(njo086), is because this is what was on the box. If there is some other, possibly
more compelling, reason to retain the current spelling, please let me know.

| | I know that this has probably been beat to death, but I have a suggestion. I,
as well as others I'm sure, have complained about the average prices that
are grossly inflated due to very high priced parts. On the used side of the guide
it seems it is always the same 2 stores (ex $39.95 for a $0.20 piece).
Why can't we do what they do in some sporting events - throw out the lowest
and highest and then average. I'm sure there is a way to do this.

What do people use the average of the "Current items for sale" info for? I would
think that the 6 month sales average info is much more important. It has been
brought up here many times and I don't understand why people don't use
the 6 month sales average instead?
I am asking this not to be snarky in any way, I am just wondering if maybe I
am not seeing the importance of that information and thus missing out on the
use of it.
