  As far as I can see this part is not a weapon, and I can't find it even once
used as a hollow hammer. It only appears in brick-built weapons where it features
alongside parts that also are not classified as weapons, such as barbs and chains.
Unlike the lightsaber, which really is a weapon the way it is, this part
is not a weapon.

To me it doesn't really matter which classification is used (bar or weapon)
just so long as both are in it. They share the same characteristics so it would
make sense to have them together in the same category.

I can not for the life of me figure out what this is or where in the catalog
it exists.

Any ideas?

  If I were doing a search for her I would use the spelling on the box - it is
the quickest and the most simple. Plus, the bio you mentioned is not very easy
to find so most people are only going to know the minifigure as just plain Pixal.

As for a compelling reason not to change it to P.I.X.A.L.? If you do a search
on Lego.com for P.I.X.A.L. you don't even get get any relevant search results
related to her or Ninjago but if you do a search for just plain Pixal then you
get search results that apply.

Jim


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.
