unless you have another version of the instructions? the helmet is not on the
minifigure when its built so with how bricklink works its not considered part
of the minifgiures inventory

I checked the online instructions and it does appear as a part of the minifgure
building steps at the completion of the minifigs, beside the battle damaged Darth
Vader.
I don't see it being used anywhere else in the building instructions, but
it was placed next to Vader as if it belonged to him, even if not placed on him.
That, to me, tells me that it's a part of Vader, both by his infamy, and
by association with who he is in the Star Wars franchise.
It also means that it's an optional minifgure accessory that belongs to him,
and can be placed on him if the builder of the set wishes to do so. Since most
LEGO sets are aimed at specific age ranges, children who fit the age range of
the set might feel justified in placing Darth Vader's helmet on him during
roleplay with his character. It's because it's a part of an iconic figure
from the well known Star Wars franchise.
Something that belongs to Vader means that it's unique to him and only him,
and therefore could be construed as a part that should be included with him.
Just my thoughts and opinions on this helmet accessory that clearly belongs to
Darth Vader.
Cheers ...

| as starbeanie pointed out the helmet doesn't fit with the neck wear (mask)
it has in the same steps. also bricklink bases minifigure inventories based on
how the figure is built and it doesn't include swappable parts even if its
shown right after the figure is build (and thankfully to otherwise there would
be so many extra minifigures)

Yes though I would personally see value in having a fully accessorised option
that does includes these weapons/accessories along with alternate headgear.
In fact despite not being the most competitive minifig seller I do receive a
lot of comments from buyers who say they specifically buy from me because I mention
in the notes that I include the weapons etc… Damn I’ve just given away my secrets!
If you think about it many people buying/gifting minifigs will often feel the
need to acquire these items at the same time and what generally happens is those
cheaper weapons/accessories get sold out within a week leaving the buyer no option
but to acquire these items elsewhere which can be a pain!
Even if there is only one option, in an ideal world the minifig entry would best
serve the community if it included whatever is considered to be the most desirable
combination of parts to make that minifig feel complete i.e Vaders Lightsaber/helmet
yes, random city guys cup in hand maybe not!
But as someone else stated here, re-adjusting to how minfigs are sold here would
take a lot of getting used to and potentially frustrate those sellers that have
already parted out lots of minifgs and no longer have the additional accessories
in order to be able to continue listing them.
However having a barebone and fully accessorised option would seem a good compromise
besides if one entry eventually becomes somewhat redundant it could always be
removed later such as if most people are buying Vader with helmet/lightsaber
compared to very few buying the one without it

It is honestly amazing that people think that a huge and burdensome idea like
this could just pop out of thin air.
Who would do the added work? Who would approve the added work? Would people be
willing to pay an increase in store fees to hire additional staff? Who would
have to deal with the backlash from inventory submitters who already do a tremendous
amount of work getting the first minifigures into the catalog? Who would deal
with the enormous backlash from the minifigure collectors out there that have
utilized BrickLink's sytem for almost 24 years? Who would set the new guidelines
for how "fully accessorized" minifigures are determined? Would we decide
to add additional entries for the over 16,000 minifigures already included in
the catalog?
We can barely keep up with the work of cataloging a single combination of one
wave of minifigures from one wave of new sets. Having multiple variations for
each minifigure is just not going to happen.

Yes, all this!
I am amused by those who think it would be a simple thing to create the guidelines
for the 'desirable' combinations.
So, every minifig in every instruction booklet (or other source) needs to be
checked. It needs to be determined what constitutes 'accessories.' A
light sabre in the hand? A light sabre laying next to the figure? What if there's
a light sabre somewhere else in the set that obviously meant for this character,
but it's not shown with them when built. What about a blaster? Should they
have the blaster and the light sabre? What if there aren't enough blasters
in the set for everyone? What if they have a cute little animal friend with them?
That's their pet/accessory right? But what about the other animals in the
set? Who do those belong to? What if they are riding a horse? Or flying in on
some huge jet pack? Or holding some giant flag with 6 stickers on it?
Then, whoever has made those determinations on desirability will have to stand
up and defend each and every choice forever here in the Forum. People will show
up and ask why one has one and why not another and how come we all can't
have the exact listing we all want! It's not as if this website allows people
to buy and sell individual LEGO parts, so we had better group this stuff together
as much as possible.
Oh, and you also need to get someone to photograph and catalog a zillion new
entries for the Catalog. Oh, and get BrickLink to invent a new Catalog relationship
so this stuff actually shows up in sets and part out options.
Maybe not such a simple change once you think about it? Or have real experience
building our Catalog?
Thanks,
~Jen

If so, then other characters that come with the option for both hair and helmet
should also include both options in their inventory. And honestly... I think
that's a good idea! It would solve uncertainties of whether to have the figure
with hair or helmeted for the Minifig listing and make it unambigious to who
the hair piece belongs to.
Of course, helmets that are not associated with a specific figure would still
remain as part of the set inventory in that case. (For instance, say a bike store
set with a loose bike helmet that you can put on any of the included store customers,
or something like that.)
However, this would be a massive change to how minifigures have been handled
on the site thus far, and I don't see it adding enough value for that work
to be worthwhile.

What kind of "massive" change would that be? The entire Collectible Minifigure
series has had minifigure with all included accessories for ages, for each minifigure.
I don't see a big problem with properly adding sale categories for each minifigure
with and without accessories.
I'm of the understanding that this would have to be done voluntarily anyway,
by people who really want inventory variations such as this. I'm also of
the understanding that Catalog Admins can undo such additional entries as necessary.
If it is deemed that it's needed, then I propose that it should be done.
If not, no action is needed. Does it get any simpler than that? I think not.

No, it never was this way.
Each CMF series set (polybag) is a set with a minifigure, a stand, and
other parts.
Each CMF series minifigure is a minifigure only without accessories.

These were from just the second collector's series. It took the admin a little

But which accessories? Often the same figures appear in multiple sets and they
can have different accessories in different sets. So instead of one entry, you'd
end up with the basic figure, the figure with accessories from set 1, the figure
with accessories from set 2, and so on. All with different listings and different
price guides. That already (almost) happens with figures where they have a neck
bracket, for example.

What kind of "massive" change would that be? The entire Collectible Minifigure
series has had minifigure with all included accessories for ages, for each minifigure.
I don't see a big problem with properly adding sale categories for each minifigure
with and without accessories.

You don't think it would be a massive undertaking to add 'with accessories'
entries for 16,000 minifigs? The Collectable Minifigure category has 765.

I'm of the understanding that this would have to be done voluntarily anyway,
by people who really want inventory variations such as this. I'm also of
the understanding that Catalog Admins can undo such additional entries as necessary.
If it is deemed that it's needed, then I propose that it should be done.
If not, no action is needed. Does it get any simpler than that? I think not.
Cheers ...

Adding them for CMF would be pointless anyway, as then there would be entries
for the set, the minifigure, and the minifigure plus accesssories (or set without
the baseplate and any extras depending on point of view). (Ignoring leaflets
and open packets)

| | Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Add 1 Part 30368 Black Minifigure, Headgear Helmet SW Darth Vader
Comments from Submitter:
The Vader helmet was missed in inventory, info found via instruction booklet of set 7672 Rouge Shadow
|
Minfigures on BrickLink are defined by how they are first shown to be built in
the instructions (more-or-less, as there are many guidelines that extend this
basic tenet). According to the set instructions, this minifigure is correctly
built, so the request will not be accepted.
Cheers,
Randy
