  Complete minifigures made with two left legs and two left arms (or right versions) look a bit weird, but
are possible.

Just a small correction: minifigs with two left legs and two left arms are indeed
a bit weird, but the alternative isn't weird, it's actually all right!


Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Who will do a test order to see if it works? I will send you a coupon so you
don't have to spend your money.

I’ll try, you don’t need to send me a coupon

Order placed successfully. I didn’t encounter any issues whatsoever.

  The Problem:
It currently takes me hours to "plan" my trip to the PAB wall. First, it takes
me a while to research what's on my local wall (which for me is a 6 hour
drive to Auckland), and then it takes some considerable time to match up my Wanted
Lists to what's on the wall. Wouldn't it be great if I can just "hit
a button" and check what's on my local PAB wall that I want? Is it worth
popping into the LEGO store this trip? Wouldn't it be even better if I could
get an email notification that my local PAB has parts I'm interested in?

I could see this feature, which would be a small project in and of itself (in
Scrum speak, this would be the Epic), rolling out in these kinds of steps:

1. Provide a way to submit the local of a PAB for approval to list. (I'm
not sure if all PAB's are LEGO owned or just licensed)
2. Provide a way for either PAB store staff, or community members, to be added
as gardeners of the wall to be able to keep them up to date.
3. The PAB wall is just a register of a part, a colour, a notional quantity(In
Stock|Running Low|Out of Stock), and the date the wall manifest was last updated.
4. When viewing the PAB wall, also show the number of that parts that is on my
wanted list where need qty
5. Add an option to email me when a new item on my wanted list gets listed.

I think this would be a fantastic addition and generate a lot of interest amongst
LUGs as well as generating more interest in BrickLink in general (rather than
it happening off-property on Facebook or other Social Media sites).

I've already written most of the code for this myself (Node.js, SQLite) but
it's extremely cumbersome to keep my wanted lists up to date (would love
a BrickLink API for that). The software itself is not particularly hard to write.

I would be more than happy to code this feature for BrickLink if such a think
was even possible (if so, reach out to me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreweddie/).

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration.

I like your idea of automating this and ideally integrating it with/into Bricklink.

About 13 or so years ago there were at least a couple unofficial sites that tracked
a number of PAB walls and gave a rough inventory, quantity, and indication of
how recently they were updated. From what I recall all of these sites relied
on users to provide this information. I remember these pages were pretty sparse
(each tracked 10 or so PAB walls from what I recall.)

This got me thinking maybe these sites still exist. I found a few seemingly newer/modern
examples (probably not the ones I remember from so many years ago,) but I think
linking to them falls into a grey area since they may also sell LEGO. In case
it helps, I searched “LEGO PAB inventory”.
