| When I view instructions in my inventory list, the title is prefixed with
' (Instructions) for Set ' ....
I think it would be helpful if this was done in shop listings, as currently the
only indication that the listing is for just the instructions (apart, possibly,
from a very low price) is buried within the breadcrumb hierarcy of categories
below the listing, where it follows the words 'All Items', which to a
newcomer to bricklink could be taken at first glance to mean all items in the
set.
Otherwise the listing reads exactly the same as one for the whole set.
This has caused me to double-take on a listing on more than one occasion whilst
browsing shops.

The problem with the minifig series, is that they are both a minifig and a "set"
in themselves.
Few sellers believe that a normal set will come without some of the content (like
the minifig accessories). Of course when you buy a set you buy a set.
(Unless it is writen as incomplete, in which case it is incomplete and a whole
other issue).
Likewise, few buyers, when buying a normal minifig, like say the girl from set
X, that they would receive other items from that set... we are buying the minifig,
not the set after all.
But when it comes to the collectible minifigures, then the BL system gets confusing.
The distinction between a minifig "the minifig" and minifig "the set" is unclear.
The admins are also in a difficult situation. The system should allow for both
versions to be sold. (both set and stand-alone fig), so disallowing one is not
a good answer either.

It would be better to avoid these problems before they even reach the stage of
feedback.
What if the catalog entries were retained as they are, but a flag was added to
minifigure entries corresponding to collectible sets, and the first time a buyer
added one into their basket a clearly worded explanation of this issue was displayed,
suggesting that unless otherwise noted in the listing the 'accessories' would
not be included, with two options - 'Yes - I understand' and 'No, I am not sure
about this', and if they select the latter it is not added to the basket.
This would show the first time any buyer bought one of these, so it would not
affect those who never do, and all New (and experienced) users would understand
the issues.
At the moment these non negative feedbacks are more a reflection on BrickLink
itself rather than the individual sellers.
