But the Counterparts (items with stickers or images on them already) never get included in the list. So I have to go to the Bricklist set Inventory and add them 1 by 1. There is a tickbox in "part out" for "Extra parts" but not "Counterparts". Often these parts have the same Part Number as the inventory but with a suffix "pb001" or similar. Is it possible to do what I'm wanting? No, there is no way to add Counterparts from a part out. There is no system to link them to the parts in the Regular inventory and therefore no way to ensure you don't add duplicate items. BrickLink should add a separate feature for this specific process. But that would require new programming... it's not likely. I would bet it can be done with Brickstore? Perhaps an experienced user can weigh in. I confirm, you do this and more really easily with BrickStore. As an alternative (although it's more work), here's how I do it: The sticker sheet is included in the inventory, so I look at that first, and pick out all the stickered parts from my stock, deleting the to-be-stickered parts from the wanted list. If I find everything, I also remove the sticker sheet, if not, it stays there as a reminder to get the missing things later. You could also manually add the counterparts from the inventory I guess, but bricklink is notoriously unreliable with stickered counterparts anyway, so I prefer the safe way... Happy sorting!

Thanks both for replying - and although it's annoying that it's not possible, I'm also glad I wasn't missing an easy step that was available all along! In Wanted, [...] (23 days ago, Apr 24, 2024, to Wanted)
