| Hello,
I hope this is not a repetition of an already-posted proposal: in that case,
I'm sorry!
My idea came while searching for some pieces which have different mold variants
and that, correctly, are listed with a different code and page for each variant:
sometimes, however, some colours are available just for one or another mold,
or very rare for some of the different versions, while being the variants almost
indistinguishable, so it may happen that one user could be interested in all
mold variants AS IF they were of just one type, with the colour and quantity
availability grouped "as a whole".
While searching for pieces available in the stores, for example, there could
be a "MOLD VARIANTS" checkbox to allow the user, only if desired, to
look for all the pieces/colours inside that "group of mold variants".
A possible "group of mold variants" for "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical
Claw" would include, for example:
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729#T=P
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729a#T=P
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729b#T=P
I've included the "undetermined type" too, as it includes all the
entries NOT considered in the other pages.
Thank you very much for your consideration,
have a great day
Giorgio

| Thank you very much for your kind reply.
The method you suggest is very handy to find at first the different variations;
if I am not wrong, anyway, there still is no way to find a combined list of colours
available for "all the variations altogether", am I right? I mean treated
as if they were just one item, thus being able to see all the colours available
and find the cheapest items (thing that may get hard to spot, when there are
4-5 variations of a single piece).
Thanks a lot!
Giorgio

This is a variant of the suggestion I made that all variants have a root catalog
entry. If you don't care about the specific variant, then go after the root
(which would logically be inclusive of all variants, known and future).
