| In this suggestion I'm suggesting a simple link at each set's page (probably
the better function would be a button). Clicking on it would provide the same
function as navigating through Market Price Guide entering the set's
number, then clicking "Get Value". It doesn't need to be information saved
on the page, but if I'm looking at a set on BL and wondering what its part
out value is, I should be able to find out quicker than taking the above steps.

in the catalog.

I'm not an expert but I think this would be too heavy for the website. Even
asking 1 part out value the system needs to process all priceguide data of all
parts in that set. If a totally random user would be browsing through 10 sets,
that whole process has to happen 10 times. It's only useful for sellers and
only at those moments that they want to purchase something, so I think it would
be an overkill of constant processing on the server for a small advantage.

| I think each fig should, at the very least, include in its title the exact phrasing
that is given it on the LEGO S@H website (English), where possible. I'm
not sure if that's done now as a standard now on BL, but S@H is a good place
to start for standardization. Added details, such as cowl types, torso descriptions,
printing distinctions, etc. are fine.
Random example:
On the website you can see the following in the set description:
Includes 13 LEGO® minifigures: a hotel bellhop, hotel customer, bus driver, ice
cream attendant, skateboarder, street musician, city traffic cop, 2 construction
workers, tourist, IT businessperson, kiosk attendant and a museum caveman.
The minifigure listings on BL should include those words in their respective
titles. This way, if someone is looking for the bus driver, they can type "Bus
driver" and it will show up. If the word order gets complicated (..."Driver,
Bus"...), it may not show up in an otherwise no-brainer search.

| I would only want to see set numbers in the title of a minifig if the minifig
appears in one unique set only. Once it is released in a second set, I'd
like the set number removed from the title.

| | First, let me thank you all for your assistance with these projects. Thanks
to your hard work and discussion we have completed four projects within the last
month and three are ongoing:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2473
The seventh project consists of moving every 47th item in the Set item type to
the Gear item type. This is necessary because the Set item type just seems larger
than the Gear item type. When these items are moved, perhaps we can also give
them funny titles.
On a more serious note, this project actually consists of standardizing
whether set numbers appear in minifigure titles. Here are some examples of different
ways set numbers are included or not included in minifigure titles:
I realized that standardizing this would be as simple as a single sentence added
to the appropriate section of this page (which hasn't been updated since
2010):
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=179
But before we change anything, let us discuss. Do you want minifigure titles
to include set numbers? Do you find set numbers in minifigure titles useful
or can you live without them? Once we decide and get written policy in place,
then we only need to examine the titles of all the minifigures and adjust as
necessary. If we go with including set numbers, then the format would be this
(with the words Multiple Sets instead of individual set numbers for figures that
appear in more than one set):
Minifigure Name (Set 1000-1)
Minifigure Name (Multiple Sets)
If we go with not including set numbers, then we just need to remove existing
set numbers from titles. I don't have a preference either way on this one.
Thoughts?

| To me it seems like a very reasonable way to handle minibuilds and their parent
sets' price guides. Should also make it easier for those interested in parting
in minibuilds. Drawback - lots of work to bring sets up to speed. Surely that's
no good reason to prevent progress though.

The 18 Juniors Cars "minifigs" are an experiment. You are correct that another
type of item would ultimately need to be created, but for the time being we are
using the minifig type because the different partout values (assembled/broken)
can easily be seen.
I would like to hear from people who are interested in listing larger assemblies
like this. I would also appreciate hearing from those who think it's not
a good direction for the site to take.

| I would like to suggest that when viewing a set's inventory, an icon be displayed
next to each part that is unique (element number + color combination) to that
set. In the event a new set is inventoried and contains a previously unique
element, the icon disappears.
Thanks for your consideration.

| I'd still rather see an image of the part vs. no image at all. I don't
know the nomenclature of every part offhand, but when I see an image I get it
almost immediately. How about something like, show the white image, but add
a stamp across it saying "color not shown"?
