| Hey.
I have a few builds i want to do. I have imported the part list from rebrickable
with no issues.
When i select the "buy all" then "auto-select" options, on 1
or 2 of the builds it shows parts missing. Example "1373/1403 assigned (97%)"
how do i see/view find out what parts i am missing? i have been looking for the
best part of a hour.
Any help would be greatly received. Thank you

Hi,
Use the Wanted Items tab on the left (clue (2) on the first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).
Before the selection, you’ll see all the items.
Once a store (or more) is selected, the items disappear from the list (or the
quantity goes to 0, it depends on the checkboxes on top and I don’t remember
the defaults).
So the remaining ones (or those with qty greater than 0) are not in the “pre-carts.”
Beware, due to “bulk lots” the percentage may be totally wrong… even greater
than 100%!
A bulk lot is when the seller wants you to buy by a multiple of a quantity, say
10, and the lots will have a “x10” next to them. So you want 5 but buying 10
is cheaper (or more convenient / one store less to buy from), so Auto-select
will buy 10… and count 10 fulfilled and not 5.
Don’t hesitate to play with the options, select/deselect items (you can do that
in Wanted Items!) and click here and there to see what happens.
Nothing is final before you check out. Nothing is reserved before checkout (so
you won’t annoy the sellers or the other buyers).
Also take the time to read the sellers’ terms and the items’ descriptions (the
latter especially if you buy Used).
And come back here for any other question.
Happy bricklinking

| It can be helpful to view the inventory on Rebrickable first. Sometimes it notes
items that do not exist in the part/color combination. This could impact your
ability to completely purchase all of the parts.
Also consider that most models on Rebrickable have not been built with actual
Lego. The model may be held together with what I call digital glue.
Here's an example of a model that is neat at first glance, but has a host
of issues making it completely awful to build (I'm still not finished after
5 months and many headaches):
