Hello,

I think there is something wrong with how super model sets are treated in the
catalog. I use this site in many different ways and buying stuff is just one
of those ways, another way would be to look for part lists to rebrick sets and
when it comes to super sets its quite sad that you have to either look for the
parts of the main sets, which means including lots of parts you dont really need,
or just go with the instruction and ignore bricklink as a helping hand in finishing
them - which I think right now is the better way...sadly.

I recently rebricked M-Tron Secret Space Voyager
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6862-1#T=S&O={%22rpp%22:%22100%22,%22iconly%22:0}

and now i will start Blacktron II Super Vehicle
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6861-2#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}

I think there should be lot of other sets with the same problem. It is not very
helpful for people who want to rebrick those, it they can't access a part
list.

Greetings

Not sure if it is 'wrong'; inconvenient sure.

This is the note at the listing:

This item was marked for deletion because the set itself does not exist. Rather,
the set number is applied to a book of instructions for a super model built by
combining parts from sets 6877, 6896, and 6923. This super model can only be
built by using parts shown as alternates in the inventory of 6923, meaning the
later alternate version of that set.


As it is NOT a set that was issues by Lego but a combination of parts from 3
sets, I think it is a 'right' conclusion from the catalog admins.

Inconvenient still....

Rebrickable has parts lists for both of these

Thanks, that helped a lot.

But I still think it should be available here aswell, unless adding those "B-Models"
as Sets would break something.
