The inventory for these two minifigures is the exact same. Is there a reason
to have two different catalog items for it? I don't doubt there may be some
differences between the reissue and the original, but the inventory is listed
as them being identical.

 
Minifig No: cas050  Name: Ninja - Red
* 
cas050 (Inv) Ninja - Red
Minifigures: Ninja
 
Minifig No: cas050new  Name: Ninja - Red (Reissue)
* 
cas050new (Inv) Ninja - Red (Reissue)
Minifigures: Ninja

Comments from Submitter:
Set could not have ever come with the other version of this part because the connection made with the white parts is not possible with the rounded ends.

Suggestion: Ask the community for feedback before implementing any new features
or creating new partnerships. It seems obvious that the BL admins are out of
touch with what direction the community would like to see BL go, so this would
be a great way to prevent asinine decisions.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that there's
no way to add an element ID until a part has been approved by a catalog administrator.
It would be awesome if it was added to the page where we add items to the catalog.

Thanks

Josh

The current system works great for snatching good deals that are newly posted,
but it doesn't tell us if something goes on sale after it's already been
listed for a while. Looking at items in my wanted list, I see I've missed
out on a lot of great deals, presumably because they were on sale.

It would be great if there was an option to be notified when an item's price
changes.

The chatroom has been gone for a really long time, but there are still broken
links on the site related to the chat.

Here's one example. I'm pretty sure there are several others. http://i.imgur.com/iMrMxST.png

"79 messages in this Thread. blah blah blah"

Could we have an option to stop collapsing the message tree? It's a great
annoyance while trying to read through a large thread.

I'm guessing the only reason it does this is because when the site was written
billions of years ago, web browsers couldn't handle large pages very well.
Now that they can, it would be nice to see the entire message tree without the
extra click.

Thanks,

- Josh

In Catalog, cosmicray writes:
  The real issue here is not what category this part/design should be placed under.
The real issue is the hierarchical design of the catalog that forces all parts
to live in only one category. Some pieces (such as this one) really do need to
exist in more than one category.

The alternative to having n categories, is to do away with categories entirely,
and instead provide tags for each part. This part would likely have tags for
tree, palm, and bar. I'm not trying to redesign the world, but pointing out
that the existing design has shortcomings (which is really the entire point of
this thread).
