Up to several months if I remember correctly until every last part of this merge is done Ah thanks, will bookmark that link. I know renumbering the decorated pieces takes long (initially posed as "this way it will be easier for people and services to adapt", later admitted it's just because they don't have any upload capabilities so they have to do it all manually). But I really thought at least the merging of the variants (just a handful of entries, like a bunch of 7-teeth and 9-teeth hinges) would actually happen on the indicated date. Even if you do it all manually it shouldn't take too long. Well, at least they did... 3 entries it seems Every part that gets merged is attached to inventories, so all of the inventories that contain it have to also be manually updated one by one (remove duplicate entry, update Match IDs, possibly update inventory notes, etc.). It is a painstaking process, so it can take a bit to just get through one part merger. I am glad that I don't have to do it. Oh.. wow I had no idea. Well, that does explain (not excuse) the delay.
