So now that we have these two variants (which I'm not sure why is needed),
is it not time to split 3660 into the variants with/without inside supports?
It's important for some buyers wanting the old variant for old sets.

The new variant was added because we had a 3660old entry that was very similar
to the new one but separated by decades. 3660 will not be split at this time.

So out of (to me) four known variants, we have two variants with cylinder, we
have two with flat pin, we have two with inside supports, two without inside
supports. I don't believe that two of them can be considered more similar
than others. Well, I keep the variants separated in my store anyway, because
collectors care. BL just makes it harder than it should be.

That is what we have to constantly tend to, having too many variants for collectors
against the wishes of the majority of sellers and buyers or too few variants
for the majority who couldn't care less against the wishes of collectors
who want every detail catalogued. The site management also holds this stance,
and we try our best to keep a healthy balance. If we truly wanted to, almost
every part in the entire catalog would have variants. In fact, we already have
a list of over 525 parts with known variants catalogued that _haven't_ been
split. Splitting all of those would be an absolute nightmare for the catalog
as well as the inventories. It is understandable why balance is necessary.

Cheers,
Randy
