| I was under the impression Rebrickable did this for builds but not figures. Can
you combine different parts of figures on Rebrickable? That may be a good platform
for this idea since it doesn't have the barriers that Bricklink has.

What you are really asking for, is a method of taking an abstract collection
of official LEGO parts, and generating a BL compatible upload to a wanted list.
It doesn't have to be those figs, but they are a good example. It could be
for any abstract MOC.
I wonder how difficult it would be to run this on another site, and query the
BL catalog via the API ?

Isn't this what Rebrickable is pretty much made for?

| Thanks Nita for breaking it down like this. Another user suggested just that,
and linked Bricklink's instructions for generating such a list.
I'm going to explore this more and see what I learn. Obviously best-case
scenario is having this process available on Bricklink. But as many have pointed
out, there is a lot of red tape with an official LEGO site.

Often how it works

I like that!

Here is a picture of what I had in mind. The entire "Wanted List" portion may
need to be removed because of copyright issues.
In the very least, it would be cool to browse Purist Custom Figures, and see
what official parts they consist of.
|
This is not going to happen. As one of the other catalog admins already stated,
there is pretty much a 0% chance that anything custom will not get added to the
catalog.

That should have read "there is pretty much a 0% chance that anything custom
*will* get added to the catalog". Damn double negative...

| Thank you for the information. I don't know if I'm prepared to go to
that length, but I greatly appreciate the practical idea.
I'll definitely read more into this.

| Thanks. I've given it a lot of thought (maybe too much).
The connection to Charles is unintentional (but great catch). It's from my
name Andrew, and a pun.
|
If unintentional, even more amazing!
Dr Drew was an American surgeon and medical researcher, who pioneered the large-scale
blood bank by coming up with better methods, though his research, to store blood.
Also allowing breakthroughs in transfusions.
He also was the first African-American to serve on the American Board of Surgery,
as an examiner.
So, a pioneer in more than one sense.
