Hi all,

I am in the process of trying to add new counterparts (stickered parts) and their
images to an existing set

I wonder if there would be a way to find this elusive (for me at least) "highest
pb number"

To explain better : I want to add for example a stickered wedge, when I search
with an asterisk for 52031pb* i get 167 results, ok fine so I guess 168 is the
next free one. But when I check item number 52031pb168 on the add image page
(there is no "check tool" on the add part page...) it does find me one. and 169
and 170 and so on up to 52031pb175 which seems to be free. Strangely or I don't
understand, search for part 52031pb168 169 etc returns nothing in the catalog...

So I'm lost here, should I check every number until I finally get an "item
error" message ? Or is there a better faster way ?

And also just for my knowledge, could it be that those numbers are parts that
have been submitted but not processed and added to the catalog yet ?

You also have to search the currently list of pending parts that are waiting
approval. When you go to the "Add or Change" page, in the top right corner is
a link to "Approval Pending Overview". This will take you to anther page with
all pending parts, images, set...

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPend.asp

You can then click on the "parts" link and perform the same search there that
you did for the regular catalog.

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?pg=1&q=52031pb&catLike=W&itemPend=Y&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P&v=2

From there you should be able to identify the next available part number.
