(OTOH, rhetorical “what if” will still pop up anyway.)    NEW: If instructions or box are missing, it is INCOMPLETE at best. It may not even be able to be listed as INCOMPLETE if the essence of the set is missing (all the minifigures in an IP set) or if only a small portion of the whole is present (i.e. a single minifigure or a part). Wasn’t there a tolerance for new, not yet catalogued, minifigures, when only the set entry exists (so, without an inventory yet)? Yes, there was. But frankly, they should have always been listed in the Custom section. People still use the Custom section extensively when trying to list things early, so we know this is a viable option.
