Proper categorisation is as follows: "Book - Comic Book - Pirates - Pirates I".   *  6255-1 (Inv) Pirate Comic Adventure Set 4 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 1 Book, 1989 Sets: Pirates: Pirates I Unlike modern books that include minifigures, this is not a "book" that includes a minifigure. It is a set that includes a book. This will not be changed. Cheers, Randy How so? I am genuinely confused, since the main product here is the comic, while the Minifigs and accessories are an added bonus. Also, if this is a set, why is the name "Pirate Comic"? It was given a set number by the LEGO Group. That is why it is a set. Modern books are not given set numbers, and they are published by other companies. I don't know if the set has an official name, so the name "Pirate Comic" (or "Pirates Comic" depending on where you look) is what is used. Cheers, Randy Odd criteria, and I disagree with the decision, but at least there is a legitimate rationale behind the categorisation.

[...] You are fine to disagree, but every LEGO database that I looked at categorized it in the exact same way. We could all be wrong, but I don't think so. ;) (12 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)
