  I have several prototype parts in my store. In fact I am thinking that I will
specialize in these types of parts. Is it possible to have a part type called
prototype? These are molded parts made by Lego that were never released in ant
set or any color.

Add the word "prototpye" to your listing notes and describe what they are. At
this point, the site does not have a way of tagging listings with such information.

  Randy,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! (And nice avatar, Blacktron II forever!)

That makes sense, and my only counter-point to that is that Brickset uses info
from here to list minifigures, and being a collector, it's nice to be able
to have each of the alternate figs listed in a collection. Additionally, it gives
sellers more options to sell unique minifigs as well.

Just giving my two cents.

Thanks!
-Kevin

P.S. I'm curious how those decisions are made, is there one person that decides
on all these things, or do a bunch of admins just come to an agreement? Just
wondering

We've discovered that the only two to have multiple versions of the minifig
were the SDCC exclusives, and there were no instructions for those - only box
art that wasn't always consistent.

Considering the fact that people aren't going to be parting out those sets
for the minifigures, there doesn't seem to be a lot of harm in leaving those
two as exceptions.

But for all other sets, we've decided one entry is enough. To allow more
entries like this would create a precedent with huge implications. So your pending
entries will be rejected in a few days.

FYI, decisions like this are often made in the back rooms of BL where the admins
have their own Forum.

This part appears in 59 different colors. Why it's not in the top of the
list of Catalog Statistics Parts Appearing in Sets in Most Colors?

Set No: 4481  Name: Hailfire Droid
* 
4481-1 (Inv) Hailfire Droid
680 Parts, 2003
Sets: Technic: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 2

* Add 8 Part 32073 Black Technic, Axle 5

Comments from Submitter:
Instructions show technic axle 5 (part 32073) required for step one. Part not on list.

This part is in the invetory of this set already in quantity of 18 and it is
a correct number but it is in there in light gray color not in black as you want
to add it (in wrong quantity btw). So what is your source of addition of black
one 32073 to this set. On step one it is shown in light gray not black.
