Whole minifigs, please!!!!!!
I'll second that!
I'm surprised.  Why is this?  Don't people mix & match anymore?

If it was a current minifig, I'd say yes, sell it as parts.  But these are
two long discontinued minifigs.  Getting all the parts may be possible, but
I'd rather bid on 1 complete minifig than 5 separate parts of a minifig only
to lose the bid on one part.

Hmm.  The only special thing in the BT2 minifig is its torso; the helmet,
air tank, head, and legs can be gotten other places.  But the special things
about this particular Crusaders Lion minifig are the red/blue torso and the
dark grey bullet helmet.  While it's a little tough for me to imagine people
wanting to buy the torso all by itself, it's very tough for me to imagine
people not wanting to buy the helmets all by themselves.

What if some were sold as whole minifigs and some were sold as parts?

--Todd

As a die-hard castle freak (although crusaders isn't my thing), I would
suggest selling the minfig 'whole' (i.e. head, torso/arms, and legs), and the
accessories seperately.

This is probably the best way to both keep the buyers happy and to get the
best deal. Typically, I prefer buying them seperately, because I can focus on
the exact figures and accessories I need.
