  So.. forgive my inattentiveness, but last time I checked (earlier this year),
the catalog was looking a biiit different from what I was used to for the past
15 years. And since I am a catalog based sorter, I decided to close the main
part of my store on Bricklink for now, focus on other stuff and address the issue
later on. Give it some time for the dust of moving stuff in the catalog to settle.

I recall there was some Dome category, amongst a few other things (didn't
wedge plates also got moved to plate? Or that was about to happen?)....

But the other day I was browsing my inventory and I noticed everything is...
preeetty much the way it used to be? Tried to search the forum but didn't
exactly find an explanation.. whatever happened? I mean, I'm fine with it,
but just wondering.. was it cancelled or just postponed?


A lot of the things were not approved by BrickLink, so we did not proceed with
them.

Why is one classified a headgear and the other a hair? I was looking for the
goggles version and couldn't find it until I looked at the Apocalypseburg
Abe minifig inventory. I think they should be under the same category. Whether
it's hair or headgear I guess is up for debate, although there are a lot
of these hair/hat combos under "hair":
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=hat&catLike=W&catString=847&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P&v=2
So maybe the plain black one belongs under the hair category?

And there are a few more of these headgear that could go under "hair":
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=hair&catLike=W&catString=16&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P&v=2

I don't think it really matters where all these hair/hat combos go, as long
as they're in one place. I'm curious how some ended up in different categories,
whether it was differing interpretations of the parts or an actual rule that
I can't determine. Either disclose the definition of hair with hats vs hats
with hair (if there is one), or move into one category please!

Our catalog is a work in progress! Parts are submitted by volunteer contributors
and approved by volunteer admin over long stretches of time. LEGO changes their
products, adds new variety and more and more parts and we keep changing too.
You can submit changes requests for any oddities and inconsistencies you find.
The catalog notes for these parts are:

Minifigure, Headgear - For minifigure head coverings, excluding hair. Most or
all also fit micro and mini dolls.

Minifigure, Hair - For hair and hair/headgear combinations that primarily appear
on minifigures. Most or all also fit micro and mini dolls.

Even these definitions are relatively new. It looks like most of the Combos
started being put in the Hair category around 2015. Many of the leftovers in
Headgear were added to the catalog before that. Some of these are also fairly
subjective. How much hair needs to be present for an item not to be listed as
Headgear? etc.

Please keep in mind that parts that need to be moved to a different category
are now usually handled in batches to reduce the impact this has on sellers.
Perhaps an admin can chime in and let us know if the Hair/Hat combos will be
corrected in the next major update.

Jen


I have moved this to a Catalog Request and plan to look into it. Some changes
are probably needed, and if they are, they will be added to the parts planned
to be moved on October 1.
