Hi; I'm new, and don't always know how BL functions. Why do some sets
have stickered parts broken out in the "Counterparts" section, but other sets
do not? I was hoping to buy some stickered bricks from the 76105 Hulkbuster set,
but they are not broken out. All I can do is buy the whole sticker sheet, which
is not cheap. Is there a reason for this?
Thank you!

To be put into inventories, stickered parts need to be added to the catalogue.

That means someone (a user) must take a picture and fill the form to create the
part.
Then, once the part exists, there’s another form to fill so that it’s put into
counterparts.
That’s not exactly difficult or strenuous but that still demands a bit of work.

It also means the sticker is applied and neither it nor the part are New anymore. 
So few sellers will do that for their new sets.  As you noticed, sticker sheets
are more money for less work.

Thankfully, some members regularly add stickered parts (Thanks people!), but
there’s many stickers and few people to add them.

The BrickLink catalog is created by our members who submit items, information,
and images. No one has added these stickered parts to the catalog yet.
