| So, I have sets that are missing minifigs and need to be changed from incomplete
to custom. (see pic 1) Does that mean I need to delete each and every one and
relist them or is there a way to update the listing to change that status or
add a custom tag? (see pic 2) If I can update, what is the new code that I need
to put into the condition box? Shouldn't there be a check box that allows
me to add the tag 'custom' to the listing?
Furthermore, if I want to search for a set w/out the minifigs or a 'custom'
listing shouldn't there be a check box or a filter that allows that option?
(see pic 3)
Current policy for NEW:
Incomplete - Contents are brand new, but may have been removed from
plastic bags for inventory purposes or to remove other contents from the set.
The set is missing some of the contents, instructions or original box/packaging.
The description should clearly state what exactly is missing. (see pic 4)
No where in that policy does it EXPLICITLY say that minifigs must be included.
By adding the last sentence you are giving the seller permission to list sets
without minifigs. Additionally, the policy says: or to remove other contents
from the set. What else are you removing if not the minifigs? Does that mean
that sets that have had their stickers removed must be listed as CUSTOM as well?
What about partial sets? (ex: a set that is missing 1 of 4 bags. The other 3
bags are still sealed, does this then need to go under the CUSTOM listing?)
Current policy for USED:
Incomplete - Set is missing items. Description should state what exactly
is missing. (see pic 6)
Again: no where does it EXPLICITLY say minifigs must be included.
On top of these questions, custom items MUST include CUSTOM images.
What you are talking about is a complete change in the way sets are listed for
sale. The number of sets that will disappear from the market into the foggy land
of custom (as in UNSEARCHABLE, see pics 7 & 8) is so gigantic as to be completely
landscape altering.
Why not simply add a checkbox without minifigs, why turn the entire set
catalog upside down? I have no problems letting buyers know that the minifigs
are missing. I have no problems making the price guide more precise. This entire
change feels like a mandate from LEGO on high and not a planned change or requested
change from the community. It feels sloppy, incomplete, and poorly thought out.
