Any reason there are 6 entries for the same sticker sheet? Can the name not
contain all the different sets it comes from?

[p=8777stk01]
[p=8778stk01]
[p=8779stk01]
[p=8780stk01]
[p=8799stk01]
[p=8800stk01]

I prefer it this way. It's a rare occurrence and changing it would save only
a few entries while making the entire sticker sheet database inconsistent.
I see how it can be a problem when you're looking to buy one, but I wonder
how often this really happens?

So are you saying it is preferable for the database but not for buying and selling.
This seems like the better solution?

Would you have 6 entries on your own webshop?

Well, buyers seem OK with puzzling around with minifigs buying them either whole
or in parts. That's also a situation where people are searching for two things
in parallel that come down to the same thing and it's much more common.
It would mess up my syncing software, for one thing. And I think generally item
names being adaptable depending on what is released next is not a good situation.
So yeah, if I can choose, I'd have multiple entries, but that's just
my opinion.

Would your software still work if there were one entry with 5 alternate part
numbers?
