BrickLink Discussion Forum

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.

I would like a Purist Custom Figures catalog. People can submit pictures, descriptions,

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.

I remember reading about him when I was pre-med.

Maybe he was the unconscious inspiration for my nametage.

Often how it works

I'll put him on the list of custom figures I need to make. It'll be an homage.

I like that!
