the 3062b round bricks attached to the figure be compulsory to have on it. You're
telling me that nobody would want to buy if they weren't there, and that
they will affect the selling value in any significant way?

Nobody is saying that. The catalogue is recording how the minifigure came in
sets, combined with the procedure of how minifigures are catalogued here. It
would not be a good idea to have rules about whether something is becessary based
on value, as value fluctuates.
|
Yeah, I get that. The value was just a supplementary point. I was more concerned
with the fact that sellers are technically prohibited from listing minifigures
that are deemed to be incomplete. However, the definition of complete doesn't
always make sense according to the catalogue entry, which I understand to be
the defining reference.
|
| Yet, nobody can list the figure without them.
|
You can if you list it as a custom item.
|
As a buyer, I'm just going to search for the figure I want. I don't think
custom items will show up using standard parameters. It's a clunky approach
when there could be better ways of doing it.
|
| So, what do you all think? Handheld weapons or no handheld weapons with gs014?
Just have a look at the listings...
|
Given the name, h is based on a mantis so I have always assumed they are part
of his arms, not handheld weapons that he can put down and pick up.
|
Indeed, this is the very subjectivity I was getting at. I take a minimalist approach
to minifigure assembly, which usually means they get the body wear, but nothing
goes in the hands. Things like that start to extend beyond what constitutes the
core components. Admittedly, gs014 may not have been the best example to cite,
but I would happily own it with just a head, torso, and legs, considering it
complete in that state. I chose to highlight the listings for it because of the
differing seller notes I saw there.
