Just come back from holiday to see this, and im really dissapointed. Merging part variants is ridiculous idea, the whole point of bricklink is to buy the parts we want and need, to complete old set as far as im concerned, if I have an old set that needs a certain parts and I recieve a modern reissue part I am going to be pissed off, kind of invalidates the whole point of bricklink I think.

Also see the image attached below: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2629 List of replies from myself: https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?overTP=Y&q=variants&qS=Y&msgID=&uName=admin_russell&ID=&status=&v=c&max=50 Upcoming schedule: Tomorrow (Feb 1) we will begin handling issue number 11 in the overview, which includes tiles and 1 x 1 round bricks. This will not involve any merging, only changing Item Numbers and Item Names. A list of changes for this first step will be sent out tomorrow to our affiliates. If you run a database and would like this list (Excel format), please contact me through BrickLink and I will send you the list. This first step is scheduled to be finished by Feb 14. We have a meeting on Monday (Feb 5) with our catalog admins to go through the rest of the list and make final decisions. After that meeting, a schedule will be made for the merges. Due to the large number of minifigure heads in the catalog, the merge process is likely to not be complete until the end of May.
