|
| I use the "Part Out" feature to create a wanted list with every part
in a set, then go through my collection and "find" all the parts until
I have enough to build it.
But the Counterparts (items with stickers or images on them already) never get
included in the list. So I have to go to the Bricklist set Inventory and add
them 1 by 1.
There is a tickbox in "part out" for "Extra parts" but not "Counterparts".
Often these parts have the same Part Number as the inventory but with a suffix
"pb001" or similar.
Is it possible to do what I'm wanting?

No, there is no way to add Counterparts from a part out. There is no system to
link them to the parts in the Regular inventory and therefore no way to ensure
you don't add duplicate items.
BrickLink should add a separate feature for this specific process. But that would
require new programming... it's not likely.
I would bet it can be done with Brickstore? Perhaps an experienced user can weigh
in.
Thanks,

I confirm, you do this and more really easily with BrickStore.

As an alternative (although it's more work), here's how I do it: The
sticker sheet is included in the inventory, so I look at that first, and pick
out all the stickered parts from my stock, deleting the to-be-stickered parts
from the wanted list. If I find everything, I also remove the sticker sheet,
if not, it stays there as a reminder to get the missing things later.
You could also manually add the counterparts from the inventory I guess, but
bricklink is notoriously unreliable with stickered counterparts anyway, so I
prefer the safe way...
Happy sorting!

| Thanks both for replying - and although it's annoying that it's not possible,
I'm also glad I wasn't missing an easy step that was available all along!
