Hi

I think it would be a good idea to add also inventory for original boxes. Especially
in the past, boxes in more complexed sets contained unique cardboard trays, cardboard
support elemnts for plastic inserts, another separate mini boxes (like in 6285
set) or 1 or 2 plastic transparent or coloured inserts/trays. I have many sets
with original boxes and I discovered, that many parts of boxes have also separate
numbers!
For many lego collectors it would be nice to know, if in a box they want to buy
there is everything or what part of box is missing.
I can help to take a pictures of box contents I have, to measure their dimensions
and define colours.
Adding to inventory original catalouges and posters would be nice too, but in
many countries there ware different type of catalouges inside the same box, so
it would be hard to define all catalouges to every box.

Please take my request into consideration, let's make Bricklink the best
lego inventory site!

You should change Topic to Suggestion.

As far as I know, you already can add Posters to an Inventory.

Adding Catalogues to an Inventory is 'impossible' in my opinion.
- the sets indeed had a different catalogue in each country at least
- you can only be sure about what catalogue is in a set, when opening a sealed
set from that time

Moving a post to the Suggestions topic doesn't make it votable. It needs
to be reposted.

Personally I think it would clutter up the catalog, what I wouldn't mind
is using the note section to describe the inner boxes/baggies when there is relevance,
Like: Top tray, Inner Box numbers, number of inner trays, and why not inner cardboard
trays numbers and color, together with images when there is really a need to
(not for cardboard trays).

Don't think the catalog admins have an issue to add additional images where
it has relevance
Exemple (one I supplied): check the second large image for this box entry:

 
Original Box No: 727  Name: 12V Locomotive
* 
727-1 12V Locomotive
Original Boxes: Train: 12V

There are often different versions of boxes, so to have a single inventory could
cause problems. I would suggest that more alternate large images be added that
show the different sections and/or different versions. Otherwise, it seems too
complicated.
