Email is fine!
However, the action that the buyer needs to take (accept or reject, I guess)
is not in that email! It's absolutely unclear where the buyer can accept
this change!
In short: put a functioning link in that email that points to the action(s) that
need to be taken please. I still haven't found where to accept the request.

For me the important thing is to have all the parts I need to build a set.

The extra parts section shows parts included in the box that are not on the "official"
parts list (if there is one). Additionally, any parts that came attached on a
sprue or in standard, bagged "sets" (like small tools and accessories) will
be in the regular section of the inventory even if one or more of the attached
or bagged parts are not needed to build the set.
There is no indication in Bricklink inventories of which parts are needed to
build a set according to the instructions. Sometimes the section of regular items
happens to include just those parts, but it is by coincidence and not by design.

| Might be useful to identify the lists that has parts need to build the set and
the parts that were in the set when issued. Is the extra part section at the
end of some sets the ones that are used but not necessarily in the original set?
For me the important thing is to have all the parts I need to build a set.

If you are comparing Bricklink inventories to a list of parts needed to build
the set, they will not always match.
Bricklink inventories do not document the parts needed to build the set. They
document the contents of the box.

I agree with that. It would have to be a very limited set of functions... And
there is always the risk that we atract more children pretending to be adults.

If you let kids upload their digital work in the gallery¹, it will soon be even
messier than it is (or than it was at the beginning or the LDD gallery or any
gallery kids can upload their 3-stacked-bricks creations (yes, that’s condescending
but let’s face it, most kids aren’t Mozart)).
¹ If you want to share a WL, you might want to add a picture of the model with
it, and that’s exactly the same thing as uploading to the gallery.
Besides, what’s the purpose of a WL if it’s not to buy it?
So, your kid uploads a WL (or a MOC) on their teen-account, and you download
/ transfer / share it so that you can buy it from your account.
It’s quicker to let them directly upload a WL in your BL account from Studio.
If they are savvy enough to manage what is proposed, they can understand not
to touch your WLs and to name theirs intelligently.
(Studio can upload a WL directly to your BL account in one click.
What it can’t do is make a XML file of the WL so that you wouldn’t need to let
your kid have your BL credentials. It can do a useless CSV though….)
|
Yes, Studio needs to be logged in to Bricklink to do this. Some features are
only available when logged in (Sculpture, Upload WL, Upload MOC). If the child
is using Studio, it is effectively using Bricklink as a junior, which is not
allowed according to the TOS. I conclude that junior accounts are an essential
development if BL wants Studio to be used by youngsters as well.

that with Brickset and bricklink lists.
The 3D function on briclink is especially helpful.

For most sets, Brickset = online LEGO inventories
