I'm interested to see offers from United States only.

Each time I'm on a hunt for something, I have to open the filtering options
and select selector location United States.

Please make it possible to set a default filter for all searches. It should be
available here: https://www.bricklink.com/searchSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

This will improve the shopping experience immensely.

Thank you.

You've got a real talent, Mark.

  Great catch!

I have a lot of these pieces, over 100, most in Light Gray from old Harry Potter
sets but also some newer ones in Dark Bluish Gray and Dark Tan. Not a single
one has the variant with the support facing toward the step. I'd assume that
one is rarer, but I'd love to see what others have to say.

Maybe it's worth millions D:

I noticed there are two variants of the 40243 spiral step that behave differently.
On the bottom side, there is a support ridge in the round part that may be located
(see picture):

- Facing away from the step
- Facing toward the step

Both parts have the same code, 40243.

When assembled with the 40244 support axle, with the steps fully spread out:

- The variant which has the support facing away from the step, will have
a part of each step overlapping the previous one (see second picture).

- The variant which has the support facing toward the step - as far I
can tell - will have no (or very little) overlap between adjacent steps.

See third picture, but note only the lowest 6 steps are of the second variant,
because I don't currently have a full set of 8 of them.

All of the steps pictured here are of the old light gray color.

So, does anyone happen to know if particular sets come with a particular variant,
or if it's just random?

Yeah, it might be quite complicated the very first time it's dealt with.
I'm not a programmer so I don't really know, but I that this problem
has been solved on many, many, other websites and I'm sure it could be implemented
on BrickLink as well.
