Hi, since I haven't read all the comments, I'm afraid this will be a bit repetitive. Sadly there's no "automatically reverted due to a vote of Entirely Incorrect" option (like on Discogs) to all this merging rape... (Historical) accuracy gets thrown out of the window: - No "Blocked Stud" "Minifigure, Head (Plain)" anymore? - All 'Frosted' bricks have gone? (And lots of other lost items.) Now it will never be possible again to correctly complete/build old(er) - sets (e.g. 391-1 (and many others) - used to have 'Frosted" Trans-Clear Bricks) - minifigs (e.g. ac011 - used to have "Blocked Stud" Head - now it will be most certainly always "Vented" ) It's bad enough these parts will be difficult to find/buy from now on. Worse is the fact that no one will even know they were used in sets (let alone in which sets). Perhaps you should stop building virtually: of course on screen nothing of this matters... Oh yes, and sellers rule, right? Just because many of them are too lazy/unwilling to determine their parts accurately, the standards have to be lowered. I'm quite certain Daniel Jezek is turning in his grave having to witness what (t)his Bricklink is turning into... Over and out, Oliver.
