| I'd like to see (knowing this will probably take some time!) the ability
for a wanted list to store multiple copies of the same model within the one wanted
list.
I have a bunch of rolling stock that are all copies of the same model. Rather
than having multiple wanted lists or a single wanted list with multiples of the
parts (e.g. 16 of a part for 4 copies of 4 parts each), it might be nicer to
manage as a bunch of copies of the same model within the wanted list.
This would still allow me to do "buy all" which would get all missing parts of
all copies in one go, but would allow me also to know when one copy is fully
ready to build even if I haven't got parts for *all* copies (so I can start
building that one while waiting for other orders to arrive).
Best regards,
-J

I assume you're already aware, but you can run Buy All on multiple lists
- select it from one list, then on the results page check the others lists you
want and hit Apply to update the results.
To me, it seems that what you're suggesting would be way too niche to be
a worthwhile use of BL's limited development resource.

That works OK for me if your lists are significantly different. What I've
encountered with that mechanism trying to buy multiple copies of the one model
in the same purchase was that it didn't combine well and ended up only giving
me parts-to-purchase-count for one model, not all of them.
Now, that was a while ago when I used it and maybe it was broken at the time
I used it, but what I've done since is to buy one and then simply increase
the amounts in the cart based on the other lists and what's available and
needed... but it's a rather manual process that I'd prefer to avoid.

Perhaps I am not understanding, but using the "Quantity" button at the top of
the page, you can multiply a wanted list by a constant factor. That way, you
can maintain a single wanted list for multiple copies of an item. I often do
this when I am building multiple copies of the same MOC.
