Howdy,

I'll keep this brief.

If Bricklink is going to switch over in mere days this had to be something which
has been in discussion internally for some time; I would hope. Where is the harm
in a multi-billion dollar company waiting a few weeks or longer to implement
a change to a portion of their holdings which was originally maintained, in essence,
by a single individual...with community support.

Isn't this exactly what a Beta is for...say a Beta Brinklink webpage (See:
'Switch to XP' button below).


As a collector & seller (IRL...person-to-person not so much here on Bricklink),
if two parts are physically different, I believe they should have separate entries
color not withstanding.

I know it isn't, but it would be like taking the original Goat & mixing in
the new Goat & giving them the same entry.

Change is good, but in this day & age when you can tick a box for an option why
are we limiting options instead of adding one?

Have a Lego day!
