HI All

I have big issue around this two set
I bought bulk of them to part out. And what i noticed was just crazy. According
to parting out system I should have 10 decorated dots in each bag while I have
one. I checked it few times on bl and with the brick store. When I was about
to put parts in to boxes I realised that i have 12 of dots instead of few 120.
Why bl says there is 10x more of them?

Thank for help

I can't really understand what you said.

The way the inventories are built assumes that you might have up to the total
amount of each variation. It isn't a perfect system in this case, but it
is consistent with how other alternates are done in inventories. But when parting
out, it has all but the one in the main part of the inventory set to delete.
In order to see what you are seeing (if I understand you), you must have hit
the toggle on each alternate and not updated the actual amount you got. You
have to do that any time you are parting out a set with alternates.

When you part out these sets, there is an explanation of how to handle the Alternates
on the Edit page. Unfortunately, the text is blacked out and no one has fixed
it.

We fixed a similar bug in the Classic Wanted list recently, and I've just
filed a bug report to have this one fixed as well.
