Once again I would first like to congratulate [StormChaser] and the community
on the progress made in the ' (Other) ' Category Project.

I would like to raise my points to a few things in clearing out the ' Gear
(Other) ' category:

[1] Accessory, Human Tool - Rip Cords

The ' Accessory, Human Tool ' category has been created and it blurs
the line between a Part and Gear. I guess we should wait until all part categories
have been properly defined, however, the category has already been created and
rip cords have already been added. Therefore I suggest we move these gear ...

[g=ripcordcover1][g=ripcordcover2]

... as parts in the ' Accessory, Human Tool ' category. Also rename
them

" Human Tool, Rip Cord Handle Cover in Flexible Rubber with Lion Head for Chima
Speedorz "

and

" Human Tool, Rip Cord Handle Cover in Flexible Rubber with Crocodile Head for
Chima Speedorz "

, respectively.

This leaves ...

 
Gear No: 6043203  Name: Legends of Chima Rip Cord Pack, Crocodile
* 
6043203 (Inv) Legends of Chima Rip Cord Pack, Crocodile
Gear: Accessory Pack: LEGENDS OF CHIMA
 
Gear No: 6031641  Name: Legends of Chima Promotional Pack
* 
6031641 (Inv) Legends of Chima Promotional Pack
Gear: Accessory Pack: LEGENDS OF CHIMA

... which under the Human Tool definition should be sets and not gear.

[2] Accessory, Human Tool - Ruler

For the same reason as above, I suggest we merge the ruler set inventory with
the ruler (see also https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1060834). So merge
...

 
Gear No: 852759  Name: Ruler
* 
852759 (Inv) Ruler
Gear: Office Supplies

... into ...

[p=bb342]

So in the same manner gear ...

 
Gear No: 852690  Name: Designers' Tool Set
* 
852690 (Inv) Designers' Tool Set
Gear: Accessory Pack

...should become a set.

[3] Speech Bubbles

The speech bubbles gear ...

 
Gear No: 81087  Name: Minifigure Speech Bubbles (2011)
* 
81087 (Inv) Minifigure Speech Bubbles (2011)
Gear: Office Supplies

... should be a set and its inventory (perhaps all but the stensil) should be
parts, since they interact with minifigs and not us humans.

That's all at the moment. I will be interested in your thoughts.

I'm still considering the rest of the Gear stuff. You might get more responses,
though, if you posted under the catalog project thread.
