| Is there any way to efficiently identify minifigure parts? I'm setting up
my new store and I stopped when I got to cataloging minifigures. I have bins
of heads, torsos, legs, and hair. I have no idea where to start piecing them
together into full figures. Or is it better to sell them as individual parts?
Please tell me there's an easy way and it won't be hours and hours of
searching to figure out what goes with what??

| Instabrick works pretty well. It's a bit pricy but can save lots of time
searching. Otherwise, it just takes time, practice, and eating pizza to remember
all the different keywords/searching methods. Generally, it's worth more
to sell Themed minifigures complete but usually, better to part out non-themed
Minifigures.

For the colored minifig parts that are Yellow or Light Nougat, I usually use
the color guide as a starter.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp
You can select the color, then the category for the part (Minifigure, Head) and
then there is a much smaller list to scan through. If you use the "thumbnail
Gallery" as well, it's even quicker.

For other parts, I usually start with this tool:
https://figureitout.app/blfigure
And then it's just a matter of learning the key words.
