I think this would be the best solution for now.

| | Hey all,
I recently looked for
* | | 792c03 (Inv) Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with Round Top Hole with Arms (792 / 793 / 795) (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Torso Assembly)
Parts: Arm |
and suggested adding "Maxifigure torso assembly" to the name, since that's
what I know it as; the term "maxifigure" I took from the hand:
* | | 3614a Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Tow Ball with Round Hole (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Hand)
Parts: Plate, Round |
* | | 3614b Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Tow Ball with Hexagon Shaped Hole (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Hand)
Parts: Plate, Round |
But the term implemented was "Homemaker" instead of "Maxifigure".
|
It was done that way because
* | | 792c03 (Inv) Arm Holder Brick 2 x 2 with Round Top Hole with Arms (792 / 793 / 795) (Homemaker Figure / Maxifigure Torso Assembly)
Parts: Arm |
is part of
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=792c03&v=1&in=P&srt=1&srtAsc=A&ov=Y
| | So I wonder:
Is "Maxifigure" wrong? Shouldn't the name of the hand then be changed as
well?
And what about the arm?
I'd fill in catalogue suggestions myself, but I don't want to cause more
mess by mistake...
Cheers,

Well, I guess we need to decide what term is going to be used and then go one
way with all of them, or add both of them to all of them.
It would be nice to have other opinions on this. If we don't get anymore,
I will probably opt for having both names in the titles for everything.
Cheers,
Randy

| | Hi,
please split the category "Minifigures: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6" into three separate
categories:
Star Wars Episode 4
Star Wars Episode 5
Star Wars Episode 6
That's how it already works for episodes 1 - 3 and 7 - 9.
The category "Minifigures: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6" includes *by far* the biggest
selection of minifigures in the whole category tree (currently 499).
Since the whole point of separate categories is to increase the handibility of
the interface and thus to create a positive user experience, the current organization
is besides the point.
That becomes especially true if you look e.g. at the category "Pirates I", which
inculdes 4 sub-categories, which include a total of 22 minifigures. Thus, user
navigation becomes unnecessarily complicated by increasing the number of total
objects in the category tree.
That really doesn't make any sense at all.
Please. Look. Think. Change. Thanks!
Best regards,
Brickadeer

I was actually looking at this about two months ago due to some change requests.
My personal thinking was that Episode 1-3 and Episode 7-9 need to be combined
like Episode 4-6 instead of going the other way. In that scenario, it would be
easy for us admins to get it worked out, and it would cut down on the huge category
list that exists in the Star Wars area. But having to separate Episode 4-6 would
need a *lot* of help from a lot of other people besides the admins, because none
of us are Star Wars experts. This would include splitting up all sets, all minifigures,
all gear items, all books, etc., etc. The amount of work is huge. We obviously
won't be doing anything about this in any way without a lot of feedback from
the users, so don't expect to see anything happen in this area for some time.
Cheers,
Randy

| I see that does not have a weight listed in the catalog. I have an
open copy of that set that I could submit the weight for- is that something that
is allowed? It is highly unlikely for any users here to come across a sealed
copy of the set, and the difference in the original set's bags would be negligible,
but I want to make sure this isn't violating some rule.
