We have many robots, cars, furniture, cups, and so on listed as minifigures.
Was there a reason the Dimensions dalek was not a minifigure, or just an error
when cataloging?

I looked it up in my records...
The Dimensions games came with minifigs and other parts. The minifigs builds
are shown in the instructions, the other parts are used for different builds
within the games.
So, this Dalek got left out because there are no official instructions for it.

Seems there are 3 types of Daleks, the only thing is that the base is built attached
before finishing the Dalek.

If that is taken into account then why is Unikitty allowed to get away with it...?
It just seems strange that the set is called "Cyberman and Dalek" here (LEGO
don't call it that, just Cyberman fun pack), there is a picture of the dalek
character on the box yet there is no dalek in the set.
No matter, I'll stick my ones on ebay as minifigures instead.

Only added a picture of the 3 build for reference.
And none of them lock like the Dalek "idea024".

What are "official instructions"? Does that mean ones that are printed, as opposed
to ones issued by LEGO online.

I am not sure what you are asking. The instructions issued by LEGO online are
just digital copies of the printed instructions.
The Dimensions sets came with instructions for the minfigs only. The other builds
were part of the video game. To view them, one would need a console, a copy of
the software, and to play through part of the game. Furthermore, the parts are
used in three different builds I believe. It would've be difficult for me
as the inventory admin to declare which parts exactly were included in the Dalek
and even more difficult to insure that the build would be accessible for future
reference once the game had come and gone. Hence, no catalog entry here on BrickLink.

You don't need a console or a copy of the software and you don't need
to play it. You can look at the instructions online ... which is what I mean
by online instructions.

Ah, nifty. I was unaware that these had been more recently published. I guess
you will have to query the current admins for an update. I certainly tried my
best to answer your initial question. Good luck!

I think they have been on there a while, as my download history says I got them
in Dec 2019. But maybe not at the time of you doing the inventory.
I must have downloaded the instructions, seen that the dalek wasn't inventoried
as a minifigure yet, and pushed it to the back of the queue. Now it as arrived
back at the front. But as they seem to sell well as minifigures on ebay compared
to them being just an incomplete set here, they'll go on ebay this time.

If you would like it as a minifigure, go ahead and submit it as a minifigure.

I would have done if I had known it would have been accepted. As it is an unusual
one, I thought I'd ask first if it should be a minifig before wasting my
time.
Too late for me though. I no longer have them so cannot do photos. I thought
I might as well chance it and stick a bulk lot on Facebook marketplace. Someone
literally two streets away bought the lot and collected them within three hours.
Fastest thing I've ever sold on there. Problem solved!

Sorry but I had to laugh as one minute you don't know what to do with them
the next minute they're going on ebay and then all of a suden you've
sold them to some random guy up the road? lol
You do realise that just because you have opportunity to contribute/photo something
for the catalog it does'nt mean your in anyway obligated to do so therefore
why the need for such an unlikely story?

I don’t think it’s in Yorbrick’s character to invent excuses.
They asked a question, rapidly got an answer that confirmed their idea, and posted
the things on the other site a couple hours after. That a sale occured in less
than 12h isn’t so surprising if it was priced correctly (“bulk lot”).
What could be puzzling is the absence of photos: surely, they posted a photo
when they listed it, so they should have it… or maybe it’s not catalogue-worthy
(“bulk lot”) and they didn’t take time to take a good one.

Not that I need to explain, but here goes:
I've got a photo of one of the bags of parts. But I don't think Randy
or the other admins would accept that for a minifigure listing as every other
listing has the figure assembled. I didn't build them before selling them,
as I sold them as new and never built.
They were going to go on ebay next time they did 80% off fees or similar offer.
I rarely put anything on there when it is full fees, especially more valuable
items. But as that is not on this week, I thought I might as well chance it on
the local Facebook marketplace in the meantime. And I got a bite straight away.

I have it in my Dimensions stuff somewhere. I got everything for the game because
I really liked it and wanted to do everything in it. I will see if I can find
it and get it added for the next person.
