| I just recently noticed that there is a new category type: Special Assembly.
While I see this as a truly useful idea, I want to make sure of the constraints
about it. Because, if the first 18 examples are good to go by, this is going
to be a completely insane mess. Which is fine by me. But, before I add to the
madness, I want to make sure of the rules so I don't make anything unnecessarily
worse.
Thank you!
Oh, follow-up question: Why are the big-figs of Ares and Giant Man (and Groot
for that matter) listed as Special Assemblies. If anything, they should be put
in the Minifigures/Figures category instead, right? They are all actual characters
with names and everything. Shouldn't they be moved?
Again, thank you!

Yes, there will need to be some kind of organization of them going forward, but
this section is a test run and could be considered in the "beta" stage. The catalog
admins as well as Russell at BrickLink will have to eventually decide what to
do with this section. Right now, they are monitoring how well these entries actually
get used and how well they sell.

They are listed there because the catalog admins would not allow them as minifigures,
yet users in the past have asked repeatedly for them to be included in the catalog.
This new section was a compromise. It is possible that someday the characters
in this section will be relocated to a new catalog section.
Cheers,
