Set 40174 needs to be listed like a normal lego classic set. With proper entries
for SET, INSTRUCTIONS, EMPTY BOX. BTW this set is beautiful. This should definitely
not be listed in the "gear" category as if its some ninjago foam swords. Please
help do this set justice, would display beautifully next to the colosseum.
The current items for sale the way it is categorized are mostly customized attempts
to revert to traditional set-book-box entry style.
I suppose this set could be under theme ICONIC as there is many other sets branded
as this, Iconic picture frame, Iconic store front and such..
Thanks for your time.

All the games are classified as gear. And yes, there have been requests that
parts based games be moved into sets but they remain as gear instead.

And once again as clearly defined in the name of the item Iconic Chess SET, this
more of a display set then a game. The current way it is listed makes it impossible
to properly sell this SET on bricklink.
Thanks

If it was not LEGO, it would still be called a chess set. The name set does not
imply this is for display rather than for playing with. Moving just one game
from gear to sets would be confusing. They should move all brick based games,
or none.
