  I'm contemplating the listing of our older stock. Considering the volume,
I'm delving back into BL SW catalog some, digging around. Doing so, I've
stumbled across what seems to be a few anomalies, or not? Just don't know
anymore

For example: why was the Star Wars #1 (Sith Minifigure Pack) of all of the Star
Wars Minifigure Packs of that year (#1 thru #4) assigned the non-specific, generic
subcategory that is Star Wars Other?
 
Set No: 3340  Name: Star Wars #1 - Sith Minifigure Pack

I’m sure there’s an obvious and valid reason that just eludes me right now, as
per usual

Thanks in advance

It's because that MF pack is the only one where the MF's span different
movies. The other packs have sets of 3 who appear in the same movie.

Thanks, David.

That doesn't quite jive, though. If it's movie assignments for the cataloging,
two of the sets are assigned to the subcategory Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Okay, I think I understand the logic now. Thanks.
