| Are build-a-minifigure packs still being added to the catalog? I only see four
packs from 2020. I’d like to add the one below (if we’re still doing that) so
that I can list some of the figs. I don't see these specific figs in the
catalog either (or in pending items), but I do see plenty of other BAM figs.
If I add these items, will they be accepted?

Complete blister sets: No, because their contents are variable.
Minifigures: Yes, but only if there is an official image or any other official
information that clearly stats how that minifigure should be built and/or if
the minifigure includes multiple unique parts that are obviously intended for
that certain figure, e.g.
Photos published by LEGOLAND parks or Certified LEGO Stores are not considered
official information.
For the latest batch of BAM figures, including those in your image, I could not
find any official information so far, and all of them include at least one "variable"
part, so those would not be approved at this time.

OK, thanks for the reply. I was hoping the orange brick suit guy could be added
since we have a fig for every other color of brick torso, even
which is a BAM minifigure. Where/how do you search for "official" info
to determine if a fig can be inluded? I could not find any info for hol298 other
than the BL listing. Were they available at Shop-at-Home for a time?
If I understand correctly, the problem with the packs I found is that, even though
every fig is assembled the same way in every pack, that may just be specific
to the Mall of America store? Maybe a different store will create different
figs for their blister packs?

These are the official render images. I don't know where they originally
came from, or why they don't make more of them for the other figures.

(Unfortunately the head for the magenta bear is not shown, so even though we
have an image we still can't add him.)
I personally would like to add more BAM figures, because they are obviously interesting
for sellers, buyers, and collectors, but we have to have solid information first
about their assembly.

We have an awful lot of Store Opening minifigs that are the same except each
store put their city on the back. I know it isn't the SAME, but it seems
like we COULD say this was what LegoLand Florida's minifig was that they
sold in their store and it would be okay if we added a San Diego one with a different
hat.

Thanks for your quick, helpful replies and for all the work you do here.
Somehow I missed the dark turquoise torso! Thanks for turning me on to it--just
added it to my wanted list.
