Dear community,

I just started using this website. I have an old Lego collection. I want to add
all my sets and then marking the missing parts & minifigures. At this moment
I just add set then press the heart button on the inventory and it will be added
to my wanted list. I just use the default wanted list.

I read something about Part out that you dan easily can order the parts only
and not the whole set.

But if my way of doing it the same thing? What is the difference?

I hope someone can clarify and maybe give tips on this matter.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Tiziano

Hello Tiziano,

Adding your sets to a Wanted List doesn't let you check their inventory to
order only the missing parts you select.

The best way would be to part out each set you are missing parts in one WL each,
so you can remove or mark as have the parts you don't need. Then later you
can go to Buy All selecting all the WL you want.

Het verschil is of je de set als één geheel beschouwt (1) of als een verzameling
onderdelen (2). Zoals het tot nu toe gedaan hebt, doe je (1). Als je de onderdelen
wilt kunnen controleren, afvinken en bestellen, moet je (2) doen. Dat proces
van uitpakken van één geheel naar de losse onderdelen heet 'part out'.

Let op dat bij het 'uitpakken' er gebruik gemaakt wordt van de inventaris
van deze set en dat deze inventarissen verschillende secties bevat met een andere
betekenis. Zo is er bijvoorbeeld de sectie 'alternate' waarin eventuele
alternatieve varianten genoemd worden die bij sommige mensen in de set aangetroffen
zijn. Ook is er de sectie 'counterpart' waarin je bijvoorbeeld de blokje-met-sticker
vindt terwijl daartegenover de standaardsectie staat met het blokje-zonder-sticker
en het hele stickervel. In beide gevallen wil je bij 'part out' kiezen
voor óf de ene óf de andere combinatie. Dat kun je tijdens dit proces aangeven.

Wellicht handig om de helppagina's te lezen en om het eens te proberen met
een kleine set.
