There definitely is a plan when it comes to drawing the line on variants, and    it's a long-term plan that takes into account future upgrades to the system. We have been discussing these points for almost a year now with various groups, including our catalog panel. Don't mistake our ability to modify a plan to accommodate certain groups of users with the inability to make solid independent decisions Hi, The only "plan" i can see unfold on this are unsatisfied customers, there will be people who will receive not what they are looking for. And if that indeed is the plan it leads to a degrading catalog path i think. For the heck of it why not merge the whole catalog to an one part lot, and send people random Lego , saves the sorting process all together. Also the hints on future merges are apperent, while the source of the merges is not yet come up (much).. the lego group being the Owner of bricklink. I cannot see how these impactfull changes can come somewhere other than at the decision of the owner. What i also missed (maby it is somewhere between the 1000's of commente regarding the merge by now) is a seller protection of some sort in the feedback system. If a sellers ships two variants of the to be merged parts to its customer; he will have delivered correctly bit yet he may receive less then positive feedback due to this merge. The time and resources used for this pushtrough merge are stunning to me, since the gains are surely not compensating it as far aa my eyes see. Best wishes Bas
