Lately I have inventoried some DUPLO sets. The hardest bit about them are the
minifigs. They always need to be searched for manually. What I usually do is
use Brickset to find an already inventoried set with the same minifig, and then
check that set on BrickLink.
Since DUPLO minifigs are single piece items I see no reason why they can't
have an Element ID / PCC code (other than of course technical reasons in the
BrickLink systems).
I think this would be a nice addition, also enabling links from systems using
the LEGO element ID back to BrickLink.

Kind regards,

I, for one, would like this and I voted "Yes". It makes identification of the
figure easier and more accurate. And since these are not an assembly of searchable
parts (as are regular minifigs) one cannot dive into the minifig inventory and
compare the PCC's from there. These figures are among the very last regular
BL catalog items that have no connection to Lego's system of identification.

Hi Kars,
only parts can have PCCs due to limitations of the system.
But I agree, it would be nice to have them for DUPLO figs.
I voted yes.

I am inventorying a Duplo set and I completely agree. The two figures in the
set I'm inventorying have PCCs and now I must attempt to find them by title
in the catalog.
It's been over six months since you made this very helpful (and, it seems
to me, easy-to-implement) suggestion, but I see that we're about to get BrickLink
Studio instead.

I've been working with Duplo gears recently and have bought tons of Education
Duplo sets to get them (hence the Education polys I have for sale which were
given to me free). Many of these Duplo sets came with figures that I'm simply
not interested in. I was unable to find them on BL which means either I suck
at looking or they could be new to BL.
Thing is, I don't know where to start when it comes to adding a minifig,
how to classify them (Town/etc.) and how you find out what the next sequential
number is. Plus, assuming I do all that, only to be told "these figures already
exist." In the end I decided to give them all to my niece.
I'm not sure what a PCC is (the 6-digit number?) but if adding them makes
finding/adding Duplo figs easier then I'm all in favour.

While waiting for the system limitations to be changed (so that PCC codes can
be added to items in the Minifig category), is there anything stopping us from
simply adding this number to each minifig's name?

Good idea, but yes, there are at least two problems with that. The titles for
some of these figures have already used up the maximum space allowed for a title.
Thus, requests for title changes cannot even be generated by users for some
figures.
Also, it doubles the amount of work required.
1. Submit title change request to add PCC. (work for submitter)
2. Verify and approve title change request. (work for administrator)
3. Submit second catalog change request later. (additional work for submitter)
4. Approve second catalog change request. (additional work for administrator)
Because of the amount of extra labor required to fix something which should take
the development team a very short time to implement, I'm not interested in
the approach and I doubt the catalog administrators would be thrilled about it
either.
It is a good idea, though, if it turns out that no alternative exists.

10 months since your request and counting . . .
If the functionality of multiple areas of the website can be changed significantly,
as was demonstrated possible with the delightful improvements in June, then surely
the addition of single additional information field applicable only to these
figures isn't asking too much.

Can minifigures have alternate item numbers or not? If so, adding the Element
IDs as alternate item numbers to these minifigures would be an easy way to accomplish
this goal.
I believe this should also be used for adding Element IDs to all of the game
microfigures such as

We keep adding them as we find information.
So if you have old ones that doesn't have it you can submit a name change
request:

Yes! 10 years of BL not majorly adjusting or breaking the Catalog system. (My
fear of the unknown is greater than my longing for change.)
At some point, the restriction on Item Name length was loosened which allowed
for the adding of PCC numbers it seems. It’s a workaround that seems to be working.

Are they really single piece items? Have we harnessed Nubs's special power
on Duplo minifigures?
