Hello everyone!

I need to move the items on my Parts List from Rebrickable to My Collection in
Bricklink.

I have checked other threads and I have followed the advices but:

I tried all the ways (CSV, XML) but with the export/import half of the items
are not recognised and the ones that are recognised are not complete (no image
and no colour).

I also tried creating a "Wanted List" in Bricklink, and then save that
file as xml and move it to "My Parts" in Bricklink, but I don't understand
why I get format error if all the work is done within Bricklink, I guess it contains
different data (Wanted List vs My parts Collection)

Please, what is the best way to pass the information of almost 2800 items (+20.000
parts)? from Rebrickable to Bricklink?

Thanks!

Remove the «?xml…?» statement at the top.  It’s standard, it’s generated by the
website, but the website can’t read it 🤷‍♂️

Also, you may need to replace all the “MINQTY” (Wanted List) with “QTY” (inventories).


Lastly, personal opinion: don’t bother with My Collection, it’s not finished
and pretty much useless.  Continue with Rebrickable or use BrickStore.

Im kind of rookie but what do u mean by "replacing", how do i do it?

"My collection" Bricklink is the only part list connected to Studio I
think. It is useful to use that palette to know what pieces can i use from my
collection and what pieces still left and need to buy to complete my .io project
list.

If there is another way to introduce a collection part list into Studio palette,
that would be great!

Open the XML file in a text editor (like Notepad or TextEdit, not Word).
Delete the «?xml blah?» on the first line.
Then ‘search & replace’ all MINQTY with QTY.

You can import a Wanted List in Studio to make a palette.
https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/6483161921303-Importing-a-Wanted-List

Advantage: you don’t need to be logged in (or connected) in Studio.
Disadvantage: it’s not updated automatically.  You need to delete it and recreate
it when it changes.

(It needs to be a Wanted List, so with MINQTY, not QTY.)

Yes, that’s why I said in my first post that My Collection wasn’t finished: there’s
no links to WLs, no way to compare a WL to My Collection or whatever.
It’s just a list of what you have… without even a price estimation.
