There's no search box. You can try searching by Control + F or export the
parts collection to XML.

Hi, if you use the search box at the top of the page, the drop down box on the
left that usually has All items shown as a default, if you click the down arrow
and second from the bottom it says store inventory, you can search your own inventory
using a part number.

Hope that helps

Mitch

Unfortunately, that searches your Store inventory, when you’re a seller, not
the new, unfinished feature called “My Collection”

Thanks Sylvain, Wil and Mitch for your answers

export as xml works ; unfortunately it does not write the parts but only the
"name" of the whole figurine.

I would like to search for exemple part 970c105pb001 and the search engine will
answer "yes, you have 970c105pb001, it is in your minifig coltlbm15".

Become a seller is a good option to do that, but I want to search in my own collection
before buying parts probably missing.

I only am able to become a seller if I had bought once. (what if I buy just a
little to start )

Other solution : look at my minifigs physicaly one by one to search a part, hair,
face, legs or body ; it is a bit longer but I only own 160 complete minifgs,
it is doable.

Have a nice evening

I’m not sure the search in your seller Inventory goes into the minifigs or sets’
inventories anyway.
You’d need to part them out first.  (So, have them twice: once as a whole item,
and once as parts.)

Better use a third-party tool like BrickStore (application) or Rebrickable (website).
You may have to do it that way too (= have them twice) but at least it’s automatized
and, sadly, simpler than BL.

BrickStore can direclty import from/export to yor BL Wanted Lists. (Or you can
download and upload yourself if you don’t want to give it your password.)
Rebrickable should be able to do it too.


  Have a nice evening

You too

Merci pour ton aiguillage Sylvain

en effet, je viens de tester ce matin, rebrickable fait le job, à savoir, saisir
la référence d'une figurine, exporter en fichier csv la liste de parties
qui la constituent.

Un ctrl + F dans le fichier répondra à la question "une de mes figurines
dispose-t-elle de l'élément xxxxx ?".

En croisant les doigts pour que la multiplicité des références existantes pour
désigner une partie ne me mette pas dans le pâté.

Je te souhaite une bonne journée
