Just to reiterate, I am not in favor of wheel and tire assemblies in inventories
unless they came that way and are listed in the Regular Items section. Wheels
and tires are not hard to take apart. My kids have been doing it since they were
young.

I remember having had problems with this one as kid:
 
Part No: 8c02  Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire Offset Tread Small (8 / 3464c02)
* 
8c02 (Inv) Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Wheel Holder Bottom with Red Wheel with Black Tire Offset Tread Small (8 / 3464c02)
Parts: Aircraft

(Both wheel from plate and then tire from hub.)

  I was Googling for some pictures of the LEGO Tower Bridge, set 10214. What I
find interesting, is that there are two different versions of the set BOX --
with one version showing 4287 pieces, and another version showing 4295 pieces.

The catalog entry here shows 4287. Yet, there is no supplemental information
as to what happened?

If anything, the box art WITHOUT the tree in the corner, but instead showing
the Expert label/icon, looks like the more recent box. And it is the one showing
4295 pieces.

Is the catalog entry here not up to date?

In the recent production runs,
 
Part No: 4854  Name: Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double
* 
4854 Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double
Parts: Slope, Inverted
has been replaced with
 
Part No: 72454  Name: Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double with 2 Holes
* 
72454 Slope, Inverted 45 4 x 4 Double with 2 Holes
Parts: Slope, Inverted
which have holes.
So TLG added 8x White
 
Part No: 3020  Name: Plate 2 x 4
* 
3020 Plate 2 x 4
Parts: Plate
so that you don’t see the coloured parts inside the towers through the holes.

And 4287 + 8 = 4295.

The match ID for the alternate model is 99.


Funnily, with these 2x4 plates, there are Medium Blue 1x2 plates that are not
useful anymore but that are still included.

  Sometimes we make BL orders together with one or more friend to optimize shipping
costs. This is a little bit hard to do specially with lot of lots.

It would be very nice if there will be an option to invite somebody to an order
to add an another batch. For example, if i get an invite, i could add a batch
to my friend's order from my own account. It would be a spearated batch named
to me.

Obviously it could be a solution to share each's password, but obvious security
reason it's not really a fun solution.

And also: it would be nice if we have the itemNo with link to the catalog on
the shop's store page like in the global store page.

First, sharing WLs is a “feature coming soon!” (look at the setup screen for
any of your WL).

Second, you can download ( button on the WL’s page ) and upload ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
) WLs. So you and your friends can share them through other means (e-mail…).

What do you mean by “on the next page” ?
Selecting a colour doesn’t change the page.

Okay, I get it: clicking on a colour name in the Known Color column in the Color
Info tab, not the colour selection box on top of the picture.

Yes, the link leads to a page (e.g. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=4073&colorID=36&in=A
) that shows the part in another colour.

Select any color in the Known colors column, on the next page it shows
always the same color item image.

Anyway, when I select a colour, I get the picture in that colour.
And changing the lower tab to “Price Guide” instead of “Color Info” (my default)
shows me the price guide for the colour I just selected.

  Even though the text states the color selected.

BrickLink... please show the image of the color selected.

What would be nice (too) would be sorting the Known colours by name….
