Set No: 75978  Name: Diagon Alley
* 
75978-1 (Inv) Diagon Alley
5475 Parts, 17 Minifigures, 2020
Sets: Harry Potter
contains a small box with a stand and two minifigures. However this box has no
separate entry in the catalogue yet. It has two part numbers: 6294189 printed
on all 8 sides of the box and a (SKU?) number 6328287.

I would like to add this to the catalogue but I don't know how to proceed
since it's not a set in itself.

Maybe treat it the same as cardboard sleeves, catalogue-wise? (I'm a little
experienced in this subject matter since I contributed a couple of those cardboard
thingy's that everyone disposes off).

I think at this time we probably wouldn't approve an item like this for a
separate catalog entry. It sets too much of a precedent for adding individually-bagged
or boxed interior packaging of sets.

It's possible in the future that we'd have the technical ability to present
an inventory by interior packaging as an alternate view. I know people would
appreciate that functionality. But that would take a whole lot of work and probably
wouldn't happen anytime soon.

Cardboard sleeves (and multipacks), obviously, set a precedent that would indicate
the acceptableness of adding the Diagon Alley box. But, as I said, we probably
would stop before going that far with precedents.

Thanks for your explanation.
