I came across this while listing pieces today. Why are these items being removed
from the catalog?

Thanks!

Because they are damaged parts. Leg and hip assemblies are more fragile than
torso assemblies. Arms and hands can be removed and reused on other torsos. When
legs are removed from hips, the little blob that holds the legs tight gets damaged.
The legs are then very loose. It also adds another three parts to the catalogue
for every printed leg/hip assembly, and those parts rarely sell.

How do you know they rarely sell? They've never been available for purchase
and the few that did make it is not a big enough sample to know that they don't
sell. I have some that I would like to list and I was hoping that it would continue
but now it's gone again. I have some that I would like to buy but they're
not available. I disagree with the idea that they're broken once they're
taken apart. I've broken just as many arms on torsos taking them apart. I've
put legs back together and they weren't wobbly. That's ridiculous. Adding
three more parts to the catalog? Torsos add 4. I don't see the difference.
