Instead of asking simply to delete it, can I know why there are 2? Both go in the exact same set and are exactly the same excluding the arms. Same with   *  gb001 (Inv) Dr. Egon Spengler - Plain Arms, Proton Pack Minifigures: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO): Ghostbusters and   *  gb001i (Inv) Dr. Egon Spengler - Plain Arms Minifigures: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO): Ghostbusters All the ghostbusters from that set are like that. Is there a reason? Thank you! It's to give sellers a choice. Typically, BrickLink will allow only the simpler build, but in some cases the more complete build is also added to the catalog. This is a a bit of a gray area and there have been many discussions (some of them quite heated) over this issue. Ok! Thank you for the explanation! I assumed it’d be something as simple as that!
