It would be wonderful to have a function to load an incoming order into the personal
inventory, as it is done for partout.
Actually the loading of parts shall be done manually...


I think it would be a good function for both the re-sellers and the users that
want to simply use the inventory function.

Please add filters to the gallery search and the first one should be to filter
out all display only models.

I go to the gallery to find models to download, order and build, not just to
look at. I like to filter out the display only MOCs.

Thank you.

Please consider the implementation of other Stripe payment methods such as Ideal
and Sofort which can be used for instant check out. With these options offsite
payments like IBAN / bank transfers are less needed and it's very convenient/normal
for a lot of European customers to use these methods.

I have to admit that it's also a lot more cost effective to use these payment
methods over the ever increasing PayPal costs. Especially since we're not
transferring those costs to the people who buy Lego from us.

I hope that it won't be that much of a deal for the site developers to implement
since Bricklink already has a connection with Stripe, but I'm no expert in
API's etc...

For more information, please check: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/local-payment-methods

Hello,

I'm currently struggling with multiple wish lists, and updating the owned
parts with my orders, to keep track of how many I still need.

My lists often share the same conbinations of pieces&color, and this prevent
me from applying orders on more than one, without messing the overall count.
(This also prevent me from merging my lists.)

I think it would be great to be able to apply an order on multiple wish lists,
making sure pieces applied to a list aren't applied to the other ones.
You would have to specify which list is the first one, the second one and so
on, and the algorithm would apply the order to the first list, then the remaining
pieces to the second one, and so on.


An alternative feature would be to be able to merge lists which have conflicts
(same pieces&color combinations). Why not addition the wanted quantities, owned
quantities and concatenate the comments? It should be fine with a message explaining
how it deals with the conflicts and asking for confirmation.

Since I have the store, I've noticed that buyers generally don't know
what kind of work there is behind he preparation of an order.

the idea is to give the sellers the possibility to set up a "timeline" (even
automatically, as it happens with the istant invoice) shared with the buyer.


it would turn out as a more "amazon" experience; and help the buyer being calm
while waiting orders

It would be really useful if there was an inventory system implemented for buyers
not just sellers. That way if I buy a set for parts I can simply come on here
and add those parts to my inventory and then any wish list I have containing
those parts would be updated accordingly.

I think we should get a better system for the gallery. I tried searching up something
simple and got many results that don’t match. Should we get an upgrade for it
or not?

Now and then (today for me) it would be handy to be able to merge two orders
from the same customer. I'm going to be sending two separate invoices to
be paid because it seems to be the most proper way to do it in this case. It
would be nice to just merge them.

I wish Bricklink would take a closer look at Brickstock and incorporate at least
some of the features that exist there.

For example the use of multiple filter capabilities would be superb for the order
detail page as well as lots of other areas e.g. part identification etc.

If you look at the image I have attached you will see what I mean. It is a natural
element of SQL and when we had goatleg and miniconfigurator that is how both
of them worked (with some modifications)

It really is not a difficult feature to add and would save hundreds if not thousands
of hours work on behalf of the stores for a small amount of time for developers.

Anyone else feel the same?

The 'and/or' filter is a great tool - is easy to learn and use and with
the catalogue getting more and more complex and populated with data this is really
a must.

BTW - we would have expected something like this in the long delayed (and probably
forgotten about) sellers tools

We've been parting out and listing a lot of sets lately and we use the remark
field to put in the location in our inventory system.

One thing that slows us down a lot when storing parts is that there is no way
to sort the list by remark. That means that we have to run around the warehouse
to put parts in their correct spot and it's a big waste of time. If we could
sort the part out by remarks then we wouldn't have this issue and it's
very likely an easy fix on the side of the site.

Hej,
Would it be possible to show a quick list of items that the shop doesn't
have in a given wanted list ?
Say I have 100 items in any wanted list. While in a shop it says there are 90
available but it's not easy to know which arn't. Plus some duplicate
items and in reality it's just 80/100. So I'd like some option to show
me what's missing.

Hello!

I'm finding it could be useful to be able to search my store inventory for
parts from my wanted lists, or for them to come up when I go to buy from my wanted
list. I would assume my the auto buy thing searches my store as well, but considers
the cost of the pieces. Maybe it could be improved to show parts from my store
as free for me (I have a buyer/seller account, rather than separate ones).

Thanks!
Matt

I would really welcome a Bricklink Gift Card, e.g. for 5, 10, 20, 50 euro. Since
that would be a perfect gift for me as a AFOL Lego designer. So a gift card that
anyone can buy directly online from the main Bricklink page, without needing
a membership or login. Because the people gifting, are mostly not Lego fans themself.

Hi,

I would like to suggest that "Date Listed" information be made available to a
seller on each "Item in Order" listed on an Order Summary. This is particularly
helpful when an entire lot has been purchased. Allow me to explain:

On several occasions, I have found the "Date Listed" information to be quite
useful when looking for a part that I am unable to locate in my inventory. For
example, when I see that I listed Part X last Tuesday, I might remember that
I put Part X in Tray Y, in preparation for storage. However, "Date Listed" information
is only available when an item is still in stock or in a stockroom. Once the
lot is sold, the information is no longer available (to the best of my knowledge).
Which puts one in an unfavorable situation if they have misplaced a part and
are on the clock for shipping an order out!

Such a feature might look something like the attached image.

Thanks for your consideration.

K

I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement, but it would be helpful if
any part variation notes were present for an un-decorated part, were also shown/propagated
to the catalogue entry for decorated parts, especially in cases where those differences
can cause issues when parts are used in MOCs

I'd like to suggest a new feature for sorting inventories.

Currently, inventories can be sorted "By Color," which groups items alphabetically
based on the color names. I don't find this feature to be very helpful, and
I don't use it very often. Would it be possible/reasonable to add a feature
that uses the Color Guide list instead?

(i.e. sort as "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet;" not "Blue, Green, Orange,
Red, Violet, Yellow")

the thing I dislike most about ordering from this site, in how hard it is to
control the quality of the pieces that I get.

And I don't think loose pieces should be categorized between "new" and "used",
because all loose pieces are used (Yes I know you can order them individually
from Lego at times, but functionally when you buy lego it comes in a set, outside
of that set they are used).

What there needs to be is a grading scale, either number based (1-5) or description
based (Comics use words like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, etc; playing cards
will use words like Near Mint, Lightly Played, Moderately Played, Damaged, etc).

Sellers would be forced to classify all their pieces into one of these conditions,
and then I would be able to filter out conditions that I thought were unacceptable.

Create a clear cut visual guide for conditions, and award disputes based on that.
I sell cards on www.tcgplayer.com and knowing that buyers can win disputes if
I send them cards that are worse then they wanted, I make sure to put forth the
effort to accurately grade the cards when I list them. Yes it is more work, but
I have never once had an issue with a buyer buying a card from me that they were
unhappy with because of the condition.

In my first batch of orders on this site I got several pieces that were damaged,
etc. It was really frustrating, because when doing mass purchases on this site
it is seemingly impossible to filter out bad pieces, and when you let the site
build the orders for you, its hard to see and notice all the "notes" that sellers
put on their items.

So I don't feel justified in blaming a seller because I received two saddles
with broken clips, forcing me to order two new saddles, because they noted it
on their items. The issue here is the functionality of the website to convey
that to me, and allow me to filter their items from my potential orders.

I honestly would suggest you take a hard look at www.tcgplayer.com Coming from
card games, I was really surprised at how similar the process of buying/selling/collecting
individual cards/decks/sets is to Lego pieces/sets. Like, functionally they are
completely the same, and TCGplayer is a really well honed marketplace (nothing
is perfect), but learning from what they do right would greatly improve your
already fantastic site.

I really wish I didn't have to click into a specific order to see the tracking
#.

It would make a lot of sense, and be really helpful if there was a column on
the Orders page that listed any available tracking number along with the order.
Bonus points if clicking on the tracking number takes me to viewing the tracking
history (via usps website or google, or wherever).

Also, incentives should be made to encourage tracking numbers. 1st class postage
with tracking can be had for around $3 in the US for small items, most places
have charged me at least that regardless of whether they include tracking or
not. It should be prioritized, and required for purchases over a certain amount
as it alleviates a lot of headache and prevents a lot of bad interactions.

When I sell cards on www.Tcgplayer.com, I waive my right to win any dispute with
a buyer if I do not include a tracking #, and I have to include one in order
to get paid for an order over $50. I love it, because when things go missing,
I can just politely point them to the USPS and both Tcgplayer and Paypal will
have my back.

I've been getting more and more messages from buyers wanting to know where
on earth their parcels are.


I've already gotten a neutral over this and I'm sure more are to come.
I know that allowing removals of these negs is a slippery slope so I wont go
there.


I'm suggesting that until the covid crisis is over that BL puts an extra
disclaimer on the feedback area explaining that postal delays are not our fault.

It doesn't even need to be permanent. Just something official. They aren't
reading our terms disclaimers.


Open to any input on this.

So you have a wanted list of 5000 pieces and 350 items. You go ahead and order
them using the auto select feature and it goes to say 17 stores. On the orders
page, as they come in, you choose "completed" to show ou have received the full
order.

Now why would be incredibly helpful is that as you "complete" an order the Wanted
List is was bought from is auto updated to reflect that you now have these pieces.
All the necessary information is already in your system, it should be a relatively
simple matter of pulling those data sources together.

Just like you have a Want List I'd like a Missing Parts in inventory list
option. As we enter parts, when saving to inventory it will alert us 'This
part needed on xxx set or xxx minfig' do you want to continue? Yes to add
to inventory or no. This could be triggered by a mandatory first word Missing
in comments followed by the part number.

Why does bricklink show this? A simple IF statement could be used to only show
a discount when it is possible for a buyer to achieve. Then it doesn't make
the store look stupid by offering discounts that a buyer cannot possibly take
advantage of.

I recently decided to add instant checkout to my store. I received my first
ever neutral feedback because I didn't include a note as requested in the
buyer's comment section. My suggestion is to add the buyer's comments
section on the sellers invoice (like it always has been on the invoice when an
invoice was requested). There is no buyer's comments section on the email
I receive notifying me that an order has been placed. In this instance, this
caused an unpleasant experience for the buyer.

Is it possible for Bricklink to improve the method of requesting insurance for
an order?
Currently one has to add a comment to another area, which I am not sure if the
seller sees.
Also when doing instant checkout through Paypal, there is no way to add insurance,
as the order gets paid for before the seller even sees it. (To the best of my
knowledge, as I am not a seller.) I do add the comment anyway, but it seems
kind of pointless once the money has been sent.
Not sure if I am in the minority with my consistent request for insurance. If
so, then it is more understandable why this may not have been addressed previously
and/or may not be addressed soon.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Someone just ordered from me and marked the order paid when I haven't even
sent an invoice yet! But now the line is grayed out, and I am unable to send
an invoice! Why is there even the option for a buyer to mark the order paid?
As a seller, it doesn't matter to me if the numbers are in bold (showing
'paid' since I don't think it is paid until I check Paypal to make
sure it is in my account. (or received the check in the mail or whatever).
Like Scrooge, I don't ship until I have the 'cash in hand', so I
should be the only one to mark it paid. (or the Paypal link, that is fine too,
just not the buyer).

Hello I am having a small problem. I was wandering if there was a best way to
inventory all my parts I have without putting them into a store? The problem
I am having is I keep reordering parts over and over I already have. My next
question would I be able to compare my wanted list to parts inventory I got already?
Thanks

I think that when going to a category such as Minifigures, parts, or sets there
should be an option to sort from highest to lowest price and vice versa. A benefit
of this would be if I wanted, say, a Ninjago villain because all I have are ninja,
but I don’t want to pay a lot, I could just sort the entire Ninjago minifigure
category from lowest to highest price and select the first cool villain I find,
which is obviously the cheapest because of how it would be sorted. It would make
it a lot easier than searching through a bunch of characters and writing down
all the prices. I have added a picture of where this should go in the catalogue.

I hope you consider my suggestion.

On the page where you can edit the 'mystore' message templates
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/message_templates.page (see picture 1)

please add the link that is used on the "Customize Wanted List Notification"
page
https://www.bricklink.com/mailTempDetail.asp?ID=6&viewFrom=W (see picture 2)

This would be a great help for sellers when searching this subject and it can
easily be done within the current so called spaghetti code

The result could look like the second picture attached to this post.

I have been in the process of designing, buying the parts, and building the set
that I envisioned and created through Lego Digital Designer.

Through this process, I discovered that I have been buying too many of some parts,
not realizing that I had already ordered them. Plus completely forgetting to
buy other parts. With that being said, a question popped into my head as to what
could Bricklink create to help designers, and buyers keep track of the parts
they need.

Why doesn't Bricklink have a history of parts a buyer purchases in their
activity, or account profile history? This feature would definitely make things
super easy while being in the process of building a design, and sticking to a
budget.

Personally, I have never used the "upload" feature for Lego Digital Designer,
so I cannot say if this feature already exists or not. Given that I am trying
to keep my build a secret, to a point, I did not use the "upload" feature, thinking
it may reveal my design.

The thing is, it would be handy to see the history in how many specific parts
I have purchased in total. This feature could then break down where I purchased
these parts, and allow me to add, and see the notes I left for myself for each
store. To make it extra easy, these parts could then be categorized under the
set's design each creator have made, keeping them a secret until after their
reveal.

Perhaps I am over thinking things? Perhaps not?

I do know one thing: When you have a budget, and something is much easier to
use, we tend to use them way more.

Thankfully, I have discovered that most in this community are wonderful individuals,
whom I would easily become great friends with. Working with them to build my
creations has been a blessing.

Thank you to all of those who are amazing, and have helped me along my journey
to build my creations.

Hi

I have been buying and selling on BrickLink for nearly 10 years now and although
it can be a bit clunky it does the job of bringing buyers and sellers together
but just recently changes have been made that have caused problems for buyers
and sellers alike due to lack of communication from those making the changes,
I have listed 2 that have affected me and my buyers int the last week or so.

1) The change to the way the order and payment status works was a complete surprise
and took me a good 30 minutes to work out what was going on (not everyone has
my analytical ability to work this out).

2) The email sent out to buyers when a seller is short of parts (i.e. Problem
with Item in Order), has been made less useful as the link that used to be there
to help buyers 'approve' removal of item(s) is no longer given (yes the
email looks nicer but it is as good as useless). Because I wasn't aware
of this change I chased a buyer saying there was a link in the email which made
me look like I didn't know what I was doing.

I have been working in IT for 40 years and it is recognised good practice to
send out a 'release note' to all users (post it on the site somewhere
and email everyone a link) detailing key changes that are going to be made in
the next release (before the event) so everyone knows and can prepare accordingly.
Please don't say this doesn't apply to 'apps' or Internet based
systems because some of the best sites do this (e.g. www.mid.as).

BrickLink relies on the income provided by it's buyers ordering parts and
sellers paying commission, if you don't communicate properly you risk buyers
and sellers going elsewhere, which would be a big shame.

Please keep us all better informed so we can service our customers properly and
support you all at BrickLink to continue to proved an otherwise great site.

I would appreciate a constructive response from admin to this message

Thanks

We've been using Zelle, which is a Wells Fargo payment method to send/receive
money.
I believe it's only available in the USA but it is a payment method powered
by one of the largest banks in the US- Would it be possible to add this as an
offsite payment method? It is not currently showing on the long list of payment
method that we'd be able to add to our payment profiles as a seller.
Thanks for considering.

I think shipping cost for items should be on this site. Because I love clicking
on an item and expecting to see the shipping cost. ONLY TO SEE NOTHING EXCEPT
A TBD. I WANT TO SPEND MONEY IT IS REALLY THAT HARD TO JUST SHOW WETHER OR NOT
THE SHIPPING PRICE IS ON THE ITEM ????????????????????????????????????????????????

I have verified payments from buyers in PayPal, but the order status has not
updated to "paid", and I can't manually change it. I used to be able to do
this. Did you guys change this feature. Also can't change to shipped once
I do, please advise.

Hi there,

Is it possible to have a feature added to a sellers inventory in which everything
or selected catagorys can be update all at once to average pricing like on the
price guide? You can put sales on and increase and reduce prices by a certain
percent but not all items in that catagory will have gone up or down the same
amount so being able to put everything to this average pricing would be handy.

Hi there,

It would be really good if in the sellers store shipping settings page we could
add in a automated message. For example I have a shipping option which is 'I'm
still shopping' it would be good if when someone selected this option it
automatically sent them a message like 'thanks for your order, please message
us withing 7 days to say you have completed your order so we may invoice you'.
It would save a lot of time from having to write them out for each individual
order. Even better would be if this whole shipping option was avaliable for all
sellers to select and turn on instead of making a shipping option and having
to put in prices (in which mine is 0 until the order is done then worked out
manually).

Hi,

As a BrickLink buyer, I would like to make some suggestions to improve the GUI:

1. It would be great to be able to search for parts in all my orders.

2. In the orders, I would like to keep the ID# of each part. Currently,
only the name of the part is kept.

3. I would like to "prioritize" my Wanted Lists, maybe in two categories
to keep it simple: "priority" and "non priority". Thus, when I shop, I can focus
on the "priority" lists to buy their missing parts, and then potentially add
additional parts to already ordered parts if common with "non priority" lists
(that's what I do manually, currently).

4. In a Wanted List, in the search options, I would like to be able to save
my usual search parameters
, i.e. :
- 100 items per page
- "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty"
Currently, I have to painfully redo this each and every time I browse my Wanted
Lists.

5. 100 items per page is not enough. 1,000 would be cool, so that there
is a good chance to see all parts in one page (in a Wanted List, in a shop, etc.)

6. In a shop, when you look at a part, BrickLink indicates just below
in a grey line some useful information:
- In which Wanted List this part can be found
- The total wanted and have quantities
a) It would be great to have also an indication of the quantity currently
in orders not yet received
.
b) It would be great also to be able to click on or fly over "In XX Wanted Lists"
to see the actual names of the corresponding Wanted Lists.

7. a) In a shop, it would be cool to have a "Max" button on the right
hand side of the "Add to cart QTY" field, to directly fill the field with
the max quantity available in the shop
. I know there is the "Min/Max" feature
at the top of the page, but they apply to all fields in the page, not part by
part.
b) By the way, it will not apply to other pages of the search, which is a pitty,
because we need to move from page to page in the search to do the operation as
many times as there are pages.

8. + and - buttons are way too small in the QTY fields. They are also
too close one from each other, so you can easily erroneously click on the wrong
one. Maybe if possible, make the buttons bigger, and put one on the right of
the cell, and one on the left, for instance.

9. Tab key should go to the next identical field in the page. For instance,
if my cursor is in the HAVE QTY field of a part, typing Tab should send me to
the HAVE QTY field of the next part in the list.

10. In the Wanted Lists, I would like to be able to "lock" the "Want" fields,
so that I cannot erroneously modify them while I modify the "Have" field just
below. Maybe a simple tickbox in the preferences of the Wanted List to protect
this field would be great.

11. It would be great to be able to present the parts in a "mosaic" view,
like what ReBrickable does. This would be convenient to print in a condense way
the list of parts we are looking for, and maybe keep it with us while going to
the Pick-a-Brick Wall in a Lego shop, for instance.

12. Export functions could be improved:
a) put the full name of the parts with its color name in REMARK XML field, for
instance
b) allow to export all or a selection of Wanted Lists at once, adding the names
of Wanted Lists in the REMARK XML field, for instance.
c) add export functions to orders

What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Jonathan

Hi,

I'm using BrickLink as a Lego builder, buying regularly missing parts to
complete two dozens of sets in the form of Wanted Lists.

A great improvement to the tools provided by BrickLink web site would be to be
able to match ordered parts with my Wanted Lists.

For instance, we could imagine to list below each ordered part in an order the
same part wanted in all my Wanted Lists, with integer fields (with +/- buttons)
to allocated the ordered parts to the Wanted Lists.

Thus, once I've allocated ordered parts to my Wanted Lists, I will be able
to shop again without buying parts already ordered.

In addition, it could be even greater to make a distinction between ordered
parts allocated to Wanted Lists (not yet received) from actually received parts
.
It means that for a part added to "Have" in a Wanted List, we could add a status
"ordered" or "received".

What do you think?

Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hello there. Could be possible please, to add the Costa Rican Colón (CRC) among
the other supported currencies in Bricklink? It can be helpful when pricing the
shipping cost is not compatible with the USD since the fees given by the local
post service are in CRC and thus this wouldn't make possible to create an
onsite payment. Thank you very much.

This may not have been an issue previously, but due to COVID-19, I am weary of
buying from international sellers as a result of reduced flights to and from
certain countries. I say that because through no fault of the seller, 5 of my
orders have been delayed by 2 months now. I still have no idea when / if I will
receive them.

The sellers I've dealt with have all been great (even with a language barrier)
but as a purchaser moving forward, I think it would make sense to see feedback
based on geographic location.

For example, if I'm a US buyer and I want to make a purchase from a store,
I've been finding that I go to the feedback, click on the person who left
the feedback and see where they are located. Doing that is entirely manual and
cumbersome. It would be so much easier to filter the feedback from a specific
location and I can see the most recent orders and feedback from that person by
on location. If they have plenty of US buyers, I can make an educated decision
about parcels still being shipped and reliability of those orders making it to
their destination.

Maybe others won't find that helpful, but as someone from the US that has
not received 5 of their orders, seems like a great way to find feedback from
others in my same area to make me feel more confident in buying from overseas
sellers.

Even after COVID - I think that feature makes a lot of sense.

Can we please have a function to search for items in our inventory with no catalog
dimensions? We already have one to search for weight, but not dimensions for
some strange reason.

I'm getting tired of bulky items sneaking through Instant checkout at letter
rates because they're missing catalog dimensions, and I have no way of finding
which items need me to manually enter their dimensions.

My wanted list is "foldered" into sets, Minifigs, and parts among other things.
I have some families in there that deserve their own folder but that I still
want under their respective set, Minifig, or part umbrellas. I really think there
should be a way to create a folder within a folder which would further categorize
items and make it much easier to organize and buy.

I would also like to see:

- The ability to move entire folders instead of their contents

- The ability to rename the default wanted list and give it a more appropriate
name for whatever's inside (It's empty for me and is a waste of space
as a result)

Why not continue it to be more layered and intuitive? Not that it isn't already,
I especially love the "Buy All" feature which saves me from an otherwise insufferable
hunt for stores that fulfill my list. These are just things I think would help
make it even more user-friendly.

I don't know the proper place to post this but I have a question about order
received settings.

I see 12 ways to sort items but not really any that sort by item number. I would
like
Condition - Category - Item Number - Color Name

Do most sellers sort by category than number? It seems like that makes most
sense. It would be nice then, if orders could be sorted that same way.

Thanks

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but it would be nice to be able
to edit forum posts after posting them. I can see where this might cause issues,
but many other forum sites support this feature and no matter how many times
I proofread my forum posts, some typos always seem to slip throught.

The functionality to request to remove items from an order, generates an email
to the buyer with this request.
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.

With the recent changes re. the order statuses, is it possible to prevent buyers
from setting an order as Complete BEFORE the seller has set the order as Shipped?

Many sellers follow their own protocols when processing orders, and orders that
show up as Complete even before they've actually been pulled can really throw
a spanner in the works.

Currently the wanted list "SORT BY" defaults to "Newest."
Could there be a way to remember the last choice?
Or change the default setting for the user?
I prefer to see it in alphabetical order, because it makes it faster to find
what I'm looking for. Currently I have to change it every time, and wait
for the page to reload.

Thanks!

I expect you have heard about the inaccuracies of part lists before.

Since bricklink is now part of Lego, perhaps the bricklink part lists for sets
cold be compared with the Lego lists and corrected as necessary. I expect most
of this could be done with a computer program although it would be nice if one
could get accurate part lists for all those really old sets that one can find
in a friend's great grandfather's attic.

Thank you.

There is an app online called "Set Finder" (http://www.spoofdata.com/setfinder/?id1=6144805)
which allows the user to enter the part number for several parts then the app
will suggest sets that contain those parts. It is not very user friendly and
part numbers are difficult to determine. The part numbers need to be complete
with colour code (sensible for logically reducing the number of possible sets)
but the numbering systems are not very well explained. In addition there are
different numbers for similar parts e.g. "2 x 4 Brick Red" has at least two different
numbers. I think there is an overlap between parts in older sets that have a
different number than newer sets but it can be quite frustrating.

Perhaps this is a function in bricklink which I have not yet discovered. I rarely
Use "Part Out" so perhaps it is there or if not perhaps that would be a good
place to add the "Set Finder " function.

Thank you.
