The word "design" means "decorative pattern."
If we wanted to be truly accurate and consistent, then every single part title
would have one of the eight following identifiers:
Plain
Printed Design
Stickered Design
Printed/Stickered Design
Molded Design
Molded/Printed Design
Molded/Stickered Design
Molded/Stickered/Printed Design (pretty sure there are none of those)
Have I missed any? Maybe when/if we get tags we can do this. I think it would
be helpful.
But it sounds like "Decorated" is the preferred term so far from all three commentors.
I still think it's quite strange that part categories are the only place
we use that word, but this ain't a one-man show.

Now that you bought up the subject of stickers.... Is there a possibility of
adding sub categories for each type of patterned part so as to separate printed
parts from applied sticker parts? So that whenever there are stickers applied
by the end user on parts verses patterns applied directly by Lego on the same
type of part then there would be a sub category for the sticker applied parts
to keep them seperate.
This would be extremely helpful for adding used inventory into our stores. A
good example would be printed tiles verses sticker applied tiles. If you know
that a part you are trying to add to your inventor is a Lego printed tile then
it would be so much easier to find it in the catalog if the stickered tiles were
in a separate sub category of the printed tiles.
I know it would be a lot of work but it sure would be nice.

That's a reasonable assessment. However, I'm fairly confident that the
changes I've made or coordinated in the catalog so far were all improvements.
Still, I've gotten a number of complaints about nearly all of them.
|
How does that go - you can please some of the people all of the time but not
all of the people all of the time 
NB - We haven't had reason yet to complain other than taking up the entire
forum with catalogue and inventory change requests ....
|
There are certain ones that talk allot about the changes needed yet they disagree
with just about EVERY change made. Hmmmm, makes you wonder.....

| | | 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.
Jim.

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