Store: Brick - Minifigures
Why is it not possible to search for 2, 3 or more items at the same time ?

Often I am looking for more than one minifig and would like to buy them all from
the same store. I can only search for one minifig and manually have to check
each store if they also have the other minifigs I am looking for.

So please: Make it possible to search for multiple items across stores so results
can come up with store that have all the items looked for. It would be a time
saver of gigantic porportions.

This already exists. Use the Wantlist add and. Buy and Search features.
Click the heart icon and add items to a Wantlist: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/list.page

It has always fascinated me that one the core functionalities of this site is
so often overlooked. How many times has a new (or not at all new) member come
to the Forum to ask for this very thing? They shouldn't have to!

How hard would it be a include elements in pages to educate users on the best
shopping and searching methods? Microsoft used to do it with a big animated paperclip.
lol

I use a workaround when I want to do this. Create a bew wanted list and COPY
(do not move) the items to this new list (for example all minifigs you want can
still be in lists but also in this new wanted list)
Now once you've done this, simply use the easy buy or buy all feature on
your list with just the minifigs, and it should give you the person who has most
or all of them first.
Hope this helps!

This is what a want list does, right?
Or am I missing something?
