Hello. I’m attempting to list these stick pins. I can find similar items in the
catalog but there’s no option for various colors. How would anyone suggest I
proceed? It’s an unfamiliar area for me. Thanks!

Maybe add them to the catalog?

In the meantime, you could list them with your own custom image and a comment
indicating the color.

Ok thanks for the response. I’ll look at the link and see if I can figure out
how to change the items to show the various color options.

Maybe it would be a good idea if BL listed known colors instead of making new
listings…..

Thanks. Yes that’s what my initial thought was. Just not sure how to proceed
with that or even make the suggestion.

Perhaps they could be reclassified as parts instead of gear? Then, there would
be the option to list them under a specific color, although the colors in the
photo above do not look like standard LEGO colors.

Alternatively, the catalog administrators could add the option for gear to be
listed under a specific color.

Or, specific listings could be created for each color.

Personally, I would list them all under the current catalog entry, with a custom
image for each color and a comment letting the buyer know which color they will
receive.

"Known Colors" would have to appear in a set/gear inventory first. BUT, you can
already list it with any color! Most gear is listed with color "not applicable",
but that's not forced. See this gear:

 
Gear No: bb1001 Name: Watch Part, Band Link - Standard without Rectangular Holes
* 		bb1001 Watch Part, Band Link - Standard without Rectangular Holes
Gear: Watch

All that needs to be done here, then, is add small images in each color to the
existing listings. Although the catmins would make the final call on whether
they deserve separate listings instead.
