"Automatic" upload of some raw parts - Gerald Lasser - 2026-01-28

I would like to share an idea I had concerning the availability of the Minifig Headdresses/Hair/etc.

Those parts are available as raw meshes with a correct origin and orientation. There is a frequent release of such parts by TLG, however getting them on the Parts Tracker is done sporadically.

Therefore I would suggest the following:
  • Upload these parts (Hair/Hats/Masks) as raw meshes
  • Use a special Uuser to do this (e.g. PT-Bot) respectively do a proxy upload
  • These parts are free for everybody to pick up and clean them, and re-upload them with their authorship
  • The parts can be on-hold, respectivly may not be released before they are cleaned and have a human author.

This would extend the availabilty of some speacil pieces and minifig related stuff 

For the 2026-01 Parts Release by TLG, this would currently make 23 parts available, e.g. CMF Headdresses and Ninjago Stuff

Let me know your opinion
