Several years ago I received
 
Gear No: 5005111  Name: Pencil, 9 Pack with 2 Toppers
* 
5005111 Pencil, 9 Pack with 2 Toppers
Gear: School Supplies
and
 
Gear No: LE51515  Name: Pencil, Colored 9 Pack Classic with 2 Toppers
* 
LE51515 Pencil, Colored 9 Pack Classic with 2 Toppers
Gear: School Supplies
for Christmas, and although they consist mainly of pencils, there are a couple
of regular plastic LEGO parts that you can put on the pencils.

Neither one of these gear items are inventoried. I was wondering if it's
because they're rare items (and also something that would be very unlikely
to be parted out into a store), and no one has bothered to inventory them, or
are they not supposed to be inventoried because then we'd have to decide
on whether to add the individual pencils to the catalog, and that would open
up a can of worms of which items are parts and which are not?

I looked in the catalog for the individual plastic parts that fit onto the pencils,
but I didn't find them. (I could've just missed them though.) I do
NOT want to add the pencils individually to the catalog, but I thought that the
plastic 2X2 thingies that attach to the pencils should be in the catalog since
they attach to studs. Is that an addition that the catalog administrators would
approve?

looks like pencils in the catalog is something that is done already. seeing that
the sets aren't marked as cannot be inventoried or something I guess no one
has submitted an inventory rather then it being not allowed which you could add
here

But only after I add the weird 2X2 thing and have it approved.
