My idea came while searching for some pieces which have different mold variants and that, correctly, are listed with a different code and page for each variant: sometimes, however, some colours are available just for one or another mold, or very rare for some of the different versions, while being the variants almost indistinguishable, so it may happen that one user could be interested in all mold variants AS IF they were of just one type, with the colour and quantity availability grouped "as a whole". While searching for pieces available in the stores, for example, there could be a "MOLD VARIANTS" checkbox to allow the user, only if desired, to look for all the pieces/colours inside that "group of mold variants". A possible "group of mold variants" for "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw" would include, for example: - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729#T=P - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729a#T=P - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729b#T=P I've included the "undetermined type" too, as it includes all the entries NOT considered in the other pages. Thank you very much for your consideration, have a great day Giorgio This is a variant of the suggestion I made that all variants have a root catalog entry. If you don't care about the specific variant, then go after the root (which would logically be inclusive of all variants, known and future). Nita Rae
