With the current system all figures are under the same either "new" or "used" condition heading, but unlike sets can be listed from a few parts (everything missing but the torso and head) or complete per the correct inventory of that figure. This not only opens sellers to "acceptably" list wrong items, or worse in a deceptive manner (such as the new Loki sh033a in the old Loki sh033), by simply adding a comment like "missing cape" or "new style cape". Clearly these are not what a buyer wants to be notified of through their wanted list settings. Such incomplete or incorrect items also have a negative effect toward useful sales info, or even current items for sale info. WHish is what leads to my suggestion.... Please, can we have the same "Complete" and "Incomplete" sub-conditions for figures like we have for sets? This will effectively require sellers to list items accurately. If they are not the exact item they must be listed as "Incomplete" and can then either be excluded from search and history, or reported for misuse. Figures are a large part of the value of a set, so if a set can't be listed without a sub-condition, it would follow that figures (which to many are the most collectable items LEGO makes) should have the same requirement. Thanks for considering. Jonathan waltzking Hi Jonathan, I don't understand why people don't just part the figure out myself. Listing it without a head, hair or torso? Really? Just part it out Have a great evening.

[...] Because, at least in my experience, people buy incomplete minifigures. People rarely buy minifigure parts. (90 months ago, Jan 24, 2017, to Suggestions)
