These two bricks are jujst hold together by a sticker. I thought this was against
policy here. I just noticed this when looking through new additions to the catalog.

I guess you refer to parts like
or which actually include batteries in their respective
sets and have comments regarding what battery is needed.
Other sets like don't include the needed 6x AA-Cells. I think
on most sets it's actually printed on the box if extra batteries are needed.
Nevertheless as additional information for customers this might me a helpful
information to be included on the item/set pages so they can gather needed batteries
for their purchases.

| Hi Guys.
We have a Count Dooku Clonewars figure
on a magnet from
It's only missing the lightsaber.
However different to the listing the minifig is permanently glued to the base
+ Torso to the Legs. Basically only Head arms and cape are removable. Is there
a plan to include these glued Magnetfigs in the catalog? Or is only the complete
set considered sellable.
Also there maybe should be added a notice to those sets in regards of being glued
or with lose minifigs.

| Hello.
Is this trans-clear part: really part of Because I have
one of this bricks but with the Backboard pattern on both sides.
It would make sense to me to have it on both sides in this set since it is designed
to play against each other and otherwise one would have to aim at a blank board.
Anyway I think the inventory should be updated and a new part be added or at
least a note added to the brick and the set that it comes in different versions.

Figure is a more general term and it was probably overdue to change from Minifig

Reorganizing dual-colored molded arms.
My take: I'm good with this and it has been requested before. It will reduce
catalog entries from 23 to 11 entries for straight two-color arms. It will take
some work and I'm not sure about the exact logistics, but it can be done.
|
Sounds like a good idea to me.
| | Adding individual decorated hips and legs.
My take: This is currently against policy. Policies can be changed, though.
My question would be this: is it necessary? Does anyone feel a burning need
to sell these parts? Have your buyers been requesting them? How many support
this and how strongly?
|
We have a few left overs and spare parts from some decorated legs/hips. Which
probably got lost during the play time in the past or where just broken partly
( we mostly buy unsorted used lots ) So we could sell the hand full of them.
But it's possibly not worth it..? Someone might look for spares for their
orphaned hips without getting a full replacement. I think we're talking saving
pennies here (if relatively common)
| | Adding individual Technic figure parts.
My take: currently against policy, a policy which is not adhered to considering
that at least one of these is already in the catalog. I see little harm in it,
but again: how many want this and how badly?
|
I would like it since is already part of the catalog and we have a box
full of Belville and Technic body parts. Occasionally I can fix up complete figures
to sell. But kids seem to like to tare them apart and some got broken....
tl;dr
Yes, I want this.
| | Changing titles of certain dual-sided heads to reflect this fact and splitting
heads into single-side print and dual-side print categories.
My take: I think these are good ideas, but am always willing to listen to dissenters.
|
Everything that makes it easier to find is a good idea in my book.
| | Reorganizing/renumbering certain mini doll legs to reflect a change in production
methods.
My take: I would like to see a detailed explanation of the exact issue to understand
it better. I believe one was posted somewhere, but it would be great if it could
be posted one last time in this thread so that we all have an idea of what this
would entail.
|
No opinion, haven't really dealt much with those yet.
| | Splitting decorated/non-decorated minifigure legs.
My take: This one was not on the list for the original project, but I'm adding
it. There are over 1,400 items in the Minifig, Legs Assembly category and I
find it exceedingly difficult to find non-decorated legs in all that mess. Does
anyone else besides me feel like this would be a good split?

Everything that makes it easier to find is a good idea in my book.

You already answered my question. I just wanted to make sure that the item numbers
don't change. Our minifigs are at the moment sorted by the initial letters
of the item number. (like one box oct*** one box cas*** etc...) and changing
item numbers would have making finding the right figure a bit harder.

I just skimmed through so someone may already suggested this
May I suggest merging Hero Factory and Bionicle parts( and possible some of the
old slizer Technic Ball parts like [p=bb78])
And maybe split it up in weapons, ball joints and everything else while at it.
At this moment I know where to find stuff but it usually takes a while. We mostly
handle unsorted lots and switching between bionicle and hero factory is inconvenient
to say the least.

So, Technic 1 x 4 possibly an alternative to the usual 1 x 4 Brick.

Many early LEGO Base plates appear to be cut to size. Given the many Modulex
letters avialible they might be used as door tags or name tags with changeble
letters. I've also seen huge planing boards with those letters based on modulex.
However I have never actually seen architectual use of Modulex bricks but I can't
see any use for an 8 x 8 square for this use in particular.

Maybe put the item number in italics and then delete the item after like 3 month
