Hi all, somehow...(even bigger and experienced sellers) want to sell a set that just isn't a set! How much can one take from a set before it doesn't qualify as a set anymore. After all those years of Bricklink, why aren't there easy rules for this? I understand when a box is missing, it is incomplete, or when a few parts are gone...it is incomplete.... But listing a set without the box, instructions, minifigs and weapons doesn't leave more than a handfull of bricks....NOT a set! for example: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&itemID=99724&advOpt=Y&sz=100&searchSort=P when you click on only new sets.... personally I think the first 11 do NOT qualify as a set! And I understand when you are a newbee...perhaps you did not know the definition of a set, but this is getting out of hand! just my 2 cent incomplet set (it used to be a dollar set, but I took 98 cents for own use) be cool and have fun!
