sounds like everything already decided.
sould like mama Lego imposed it or else.
fearing instant community backlash, someone came up with the idea.
if we let them talk, they wont revolt.
let a week of mourning, then move on.
boss said it, so we do it.

and us, why do we waste 2 hundreds messages on that non-negotiable nerf

Please NO.

We actually need more/better handling of variants.
We should recognize more variants right now.
BL already behind Rebrickable on variant handling. behind. a lot. really.

Fanta orange

Nothing sounds more bricklinkish than naming colors in spite of Bigplasticorp
directives.

I still remember when someone tackled a new entry with a blunt "alien pee
green"... lol... and it was a yellow at that time... rofl.

Keep up the good humour pals.

while we wait for Ryan to pop up...

what if it's not the pigment, but the material?

I. An overweight brick is less durable. When it falls or is thrown around (think
kid's play) it can crack or break open.

II. If I were at Lego, I would have made it in polypropilene (or polystirene).
A less rigid plastic -- can resist more impacts and play.

III. Like Bionicle! So here's a cheap test: find a *blue bionicle part and
compare under UV.

My browser connects to awswaf.com when I log into bricklink
Maybe i'm a bit paranoid
Maybe it was always there, even before the hacking incident

Someone/admins can reassure me this isnt another hack?

One feedback doesn't cause that.

Someone reported you to the BL cops.

If you keep them 10/10, they'll be easy to sell.
can even increase value over time.

   Is there a better way to locate parts in my list?

reBrickable.com still better nowdays (but you need to export everything there
first)

I have better idea. Is there already a set which sports just "basic"
bricks?
Here
 
Set No: 10654  Name: Classic XL Creative Brick Box
* 
10654-1 (Inv) Classic XL Creative Brick Box
1600 Parts, 2016
Sets: Classic
go grab its inventory, or partout into one wanted list, easy enought!

While you're at it, consider all the "classic" category:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=9&catString=423&catType=S&v=1
it's full of basic set you can use as inspiration.

If "basic" means "basic colors" for you, or if you're just
"that old", here:
 
Set No: 2456  Name: Big Bulk Box
* 
2456-1 (Inv) Big Bulk Box
900 Parts, 1998
Sets: Universal Building Set: Classic Basic

more functional differences (here starts the usual forum disagreements)

new 2780 vs old 2780: when poked, new mould don't roll out of table, it stops
all by itself. "anti roll notch" for the win

any 2708 vs 4459: 4459 is concrete-like. a pain to remove from bricks. And if
you ever used them to join holed bricks, poor you. 1 is hard, 2 is rock solid,
3 is Heracles labour. 3 pins and it's game over. talk about "pinned in
place"
