Hi,
I’m using Stud.io to build a spaceship and the interior structure pieces can
be any colour.
I then bring the partslist on bricklink.

I was wondering, Is there a way to specify on the website some bricks to be ANY
colour, when sourcing them, in order to reduce the number of stores necessary
and costs?

Also, is there a known automated way to check if rare bricks could be exchanged
for more common and cheaper bricks?

Thanks
L

Under color, specify (Not Applicable) to make it any color. But beware of using
easy buy with parts in (Not Applicable) color. I had a bunch of 2x2 plates I
wanted to buy in any color for a moc, the easy buy choose a store that had bunch
of trans-clear 2x2 plates at 50 cents each rather than other stores that had
cheaper colors.

Ok thanks, I’ll check it out and watch out for any oddly expensive choices
