Yes.
Look at what’s happening (and what’s said) for the Studio Gallery.

IANAL either but it has already been ruled a violation on the Gallery.

fall under MOCs, which I believe are free use.

I believe you have to think again.

| It wouldn't be a comprehensive list of every combination of Minifigure components.
Users would submit their figure, and then there would be a list of components
that correspond to the appropriate official pieces within the market. I hope
that makes sense.

in the Market? Just like official figures, you'd click on the figure and
see what the components are and what figures and sets they come from.
|
There is an almost infinite number of combinations of headgear / heads / torso
assemblies and legs. They cannot all be added and if they were, then they end
up being useless as you cannot possibly view them all.

| Yes, it would essentially be minifig-only MOCs. The MOC Shope really is dedicated
to builds, and even then doesn't have a components list.
The Studio Gallery is limited to the digital components available, but at least
it hs a list.

This looks like a administrative nightmare for those maintaining the "Purist
Custom Figures" catalog. Endless submissions with endless part inventories and
alternative parts.

And it would be exactly like any other MOC, just minifig-only MOCs, and for that
there already are the MOC Shop (haha) and the Studio Gallery.

The likelihood of adding anything to the catalog that is not an official LEGO
product is almost 0%. Adding BrickArms products was an absolute disaster and
now that the site is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLG I would not expect that
disaster to be repeated.

| My apologies if this has already been suggested.
It would be great if, in addition to showing favorited stores and those with
coupons first, you could also show stores in which you have open carts first.

My suggestion is, that when a user favorites a store, he or she should also have
the option to receive coupons from that store. This should get around any concerns
about privacy.

I like it! Voted yes

We could make a feature where one item could be casually sold without becoming
a store, offered on the forum or some other way, and the sale could be official
and register for fees and everything. Buyer would know it was different from
buying from an established store, but it would make it easier for someone who
just wanted to sell 3 sets from their childhood or just wanted to get rid of
a box of their children's used Lego. Right now someone just has to tell
someone in the forum that they'll have to make a store and I expect 98 times
out of 100, they shrug their shoulders and go to eBay or Craigslist.

They shelved auctions about ten years ago.
It would be a good idea for job lots but I guess the problem is that people might
use it to scam. If there is no seller verification (the barrier to open a store)
then it wouldn't surprise me if we saw lots of listings for UCS MFs and the
like. Similarly, people might try to use it to sell license based MOCs that are
not allowed on the site any more. So presumably someone would have to police
it to ensure that LEGO is not allowing the sale of anything not allowed on the
main site.

Indeed, make it possible to add 'complete/incomplete' to the standard

I imagine people might also list ones with missing pages as incomplete. Although
if there is a description of what is missing, it should not be too bad.
Of course the alternative is individual entries for each instruction book.
