It would be super awesome if you could search by part and see all printed or
stickered varients of it for each specific color. This would be useful for finding
all variations of specific Star Wars helmets.

For example, yesterday I found part number 12612 in my collection,but when I
searched it, there was no results because the print gives it a separate part
id. instead it should maybe be the same id with a separate sub-id. Or something
along those lines

search for 12612* instead. The asterisk is a wildcard parameter.

Perhaps try adding a star * after you enter the part number then by if there
is lots of parts still you could sort by colour in additional options. It didn’t
show to part when you searched just the part number because it is a printed piece
and as such has additional letters and number it it’s part number
Hope this helps!

Start at the Color Guide, choose your color, choose your category, then search
for the base part number with an *

Voila!

Good luck,
