The specific figure of 60% alongside the word "compromise" was an unusual
editorial choice. It piqued my curiosity and left me wondering if there was
some deeper meaning.

There was, in fact, and I'm glad you picked up on it. Many Americans know
neither history nor math.
But on BrickLink, Americans are a minority. I wouldn't expect a Canadian
high school dropout to know the significance of that fraction.
If USA, Minnesota means Minneapolis, I'm sorry.
But if you read the rest of my post, you'll see that I'm actually embracing
diversity. The last line is just a facetious suggestion, as ridiculous as the
original it parodies.

| | After 2 large orders for items on my want lists they are still saying 0% complete
?
Is there a way to force update them so I do not order duplicates in the next
orders?
Or does that only work if you use easy buy?
thanks

At the top of every wanted list there is a button labeled Apply Order
that allows you to update the Have Qty with items from a recent order.
If you have multiple wanted lists, it helps to combine them into one before using.
The Easy Buy/Buy All algorithms and Auto-Fill Min will take the Have Qty into
account when shopping for a wanted list.
Hope that helps.

| | what i find fascinating is Lego has been pushing for Diversity...
yet.....they merge Variants
someone had too say it
|
Well, that's the thing: Some members believe that all variants are created
equal and that the catalog should include all variants regardless of their actual
prevalence, which seems quite reasonable.
But such a catalog would contain a dizzying array of variants. How useful would
it be to the average member?
There's no clear answer to that question, because there's no such thing
as the "average member"; we all come here for different reasons. Hence
the endless threads on variant merges.
Personally, I've to propose a compromise: Keep 60% of the variants in the
catalog…

the set-up of a wanted list:
Share Wanted List - Feature coming soon!

On the other hand who would need this feature while you can send the XML or studio
file to friends, or post your MOC on rebrickable and other places.
I guess they had this idea and then realized it's not worth developping it,
hence the "soon"?

The problem is that not everyone is so tech savvy.
It is easier to just click a button that says "Share" than to download
it as a file, upload the file as an email attachment, download the file again,
and then reupload it to BrickLink.
I sell PDF instructions in my store. I've had to explain to many buyers how
to upload the XML file to their wanted list so they can order the parts. Some
don't even know what the XML file is for.
There are instances where it would be convenient to be able to share a wanted
list with another member:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1399267
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1448305
But, knowing BrickLink, they may feel that the effort required to develop the
new feature is simply not worth it, even if it would be useful.
Even the effort required to remove the "Coming Soon" text seems too much.
For MOCs, Rebrickable and the Studio Gallery make sharing easier, but that doesn't
work if you just have a list of parts and not a MOC or if your Studio Gallery
listing contains the word "LEGO".
