Re: Stickered Parts separate category - StormChaser (569) | [...] I definitely want the catalog to give members the ability to easily distinguish between plain parts, stickered designs, printed designs, and molded designs. We should [...] (66 months ago, Dec 12, 2018, to Suggestions) |

Re: Decorated V Pattern - StormChaser (569) | [...] Yes. Few people would ever read through all those 2,700 words before submitting an item to the catalog, nor should they have to. That's not to say it isn't necessary [...] (67 months ago, Nov 28, 2018, to Catalog) |
Re: Decorated vs. Pattern - StormChaser (569) | [...] Something is necessary in the title because not everyone goes to categories first. Sometimes people just want to find all the 2 x 2 bricks with a pattern. That's [...] (67 months ago, Nov 28, 2018, to Catalog) |

Re: Something I Just Threw Together - StormChaser (569) | [...] That part is just a placeholder. It will be filled in with further information about each kind of figure if we decide to keep this as a permanent catalog feature. (67 months ago, Nov 26, 2018, to Catalog) |
Re: Something I Just Threw Together - StormChaser (569) | [...] I absolutely do get your point. I agree that we would be wise to include all figures of all sizes in the same place. We already do include nearly all of them in the [...] (67 months ago, Nov 26, 2018, to Catalog) |

Re: Something I Just Threw Together - StormChaser (569) | [...] I don't think we need to be that technical with this item type. The casual user needs a basic item type name which is immediately identifiable. Figures would encompass [...] (67 months ago, Nov 26, 2018, to Catalog) |
Re: Something I Just Threw Together - StormChaser (569) | [...] The list is obviously just an incomplete framework. At this point I'm looking more for commentary on two things and we can worry about the details of that list later. [...] (67 months ago, Nov 26, 2018, to Catalog) |

Re: Seventh Catalog Project - Action Plan - StormChaser (569) | [...] Yes, but that may not happen for some time. Until then, we definitely don't want any figures to have identical titles. In fact, if you wouldn't mind going back [...] (67 months ago, Nov 25, 2018, to Catalog) |
Re: Seventh Catalog Project - Action Plan - StormChaser (569) | [...] Thanks for your help with this project. Some figure are only differentiated by set numbers in the titles. I noticed this especially with Harry Potter figures and I [...] (67 months ago, Nov 25, 2018, to Catalog) |

Re: Seventh Catalog Project - Titles Update - StormChaser (569) | [...] Right, but adding trooper at the beginning of all troopers will group them all together and fit in with the larger plan for all minifigures. As I said, this initial [...] (67 months ago, Nov 24, 2018, to Catalog) |
