Hi all....Been away for 6 months due to surgery...just started listing a few
items and noticed so many missing images in the catalog? Wasn't like this
before...is there a reason?
thanks! (I really use it a lot to identify torsos, etc.)

The Minifigure, Torso category traditionally is missing many, many images. If
someone used the LEGO render for the Assembly, they aren't going to have
the Torso image. If someone takes a real image, their options are to rip the
arms off their Assembly to photograph it (horrors!!) or, edit the arms out with
Photoshop.

For all these reasons, many submitters skip over the Torso image. Just adding
a Torso Assembly to the catalog is complicated enough already so it's very
understandable.
