We definitely could have talked about it on the catalog panel if the catalog
panel had EVER been consulted about this.
|
The catalog panel was informed of this merge project months before it was announced
publicly. But the purpose of the panel is to bring community voice to the development
team, not contribute to catalog policy.
|
Unless there was a meeting I missed somehow, I do not recollect that we were
informed of this project or asked to give any input or suggestions. There was
a brief mention that there was a variant project but no details or timetables
were ever given. Considering that many people on the Panel were among those who
expressed surprise and dismay when this was all introduced, I would think that
those meetings would indeed have been an ideal place to breach the subject with
the members at large.
|
The only thing I recollect is talking about the need to tackle the variants on
the catalog, but nothing specific, I must have missed it too.
| |
| | We do address catalog policy when it comes up, but it's definitely a sideline
issue, as are all issues that relate to other BrickLink teams, like Marketplace
and Studio. Panel meetings are not the place to debate proposed variant merges.
The Forum is, and there was plenty of debate and even opportunity for more debate.
|
Perhaps it was not the place to discuss the exact specifics of each part being
looked at. But it would have been good to know how the project would be introduced
and carried out. We are supposed to be looking out for the community and sharing
out expertise after all.
Thanks,

He only claims that we were informed of the project and that is the truth. We
were told that it existed.

This is a serious understatement. From now until I don't know when, I'm
not investing in any of the variants.

32064b could go on a hollow stud. I would have spoken up on it, but I didn't
realize it was on the block.

There went a double handful of my catalog work and all the give-a-darn that I
had stockpiled. I think I'll go touch grass and see if it is everything
people talk it up to be.
|
This minifigure seems fine after touching it 
|
I brought some in and set it on my desk. I really don't know what all the
fuss is about. It's like a long skinny leaf?

Minifigures can't have alternates.
Also, while I've never seen a white helmet without dimples that doesn't
mean it doesn't exist. Used to have some yellow ones.
|
Would you like to?

That isn't how it works!
This guy probably perpetually has to stay on the undetermined listing unless
he is someday split. He is in 37 sets and almost certainly came with more than
one type of helmet, but when you part out a set you don't know which you
will get.

As you can see in the picture it is clearly the thin variant.
|
That isn't how it works. That is the undetermined entry and has the picture
that it had when we realized it needed to be split. That picture is almost certainly
not from one of the foil packs.
I have the foil packs in a shopping cart and I am waiting for my sales tax waiver
to be approved.
