with multiple listings for nearly identical items (darth w/eyebrows, darth w/o
eyebrows...)
we could really use the option to enter multiple items simultaneouisly (rather
than having to reload and reset ten different identical entries just to find
one darth vader minifig, as i just did...and then again for 3PO. exhausting)

I likely won't use this feature again, until this is possible. it just sucks
up too much time.

also helpful would be ability to choose more than one color for same item. (ie
dark gray and dark bluish gray)

This would be very helpful! Reloading the parts list for each brick and plate
size for all the different colors you might want takes forever.

It would be nice if on the Brick Reference page, http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50950
, there were check boxes by each color on either the "Lots For Sale" column or
the "Known Colors" column and an Add To Want List button at the bottom of the
page.

Let me see if I understand what you are after. You want a minifig (say Darth
Vader, for example). You don't care which pieces of Darth Vader minifigs yours
is made from, just that the head was part of *some* Darth Vader, the torso was
part of *some* Darth Vader, and so on.

I have seen similar. I want a 6x16 plate, but could settle for two 6x8 plates.
It could be kind of handy to have Wanted Lists smart enough to handle that "OR"
type qualification. But overall I think the utility is pretty limited.

In the meantime, have you looked at Brickstore software? I find it much faster
to create and manage Wanted Lists than navigating BrickLink.

Not bad idea, implementing Boolean operations to wanted list.

What I would love to have is ability to mark few items as "CRITICAL" meaning
I want to order those first, then whatever else stores has that is in my selected
wanted lists.

I think you can do this if you use multiple want lists. Make additional lists
an add what you want with notes. You can also have the store show all items on
all lists or all item lists that you choose.

Make additional lists on the right side of this page: http://www.bricklink.com/wantedView.asp

Change the setting to "Show multiple Wanted selection list..." Under "my display
options" on this page:
http://www.bricklink.com/wantedSettings.asp

These changes will show a list of your wanted lists with check boxes on the top
of the listing when searching "By shop" and in stores if you click the link "show
items on my wanted list" above the part categories on the left side of every
store.

As someone else has suggested, get to know the site before criticizing it.

Here's a good example.

Black Cone 1 x 1 without Top Groove

 
Part No: 4589  Name: Cone 1 x 1
* 
4589 Cone 1 x 1
Parts: Cone
 
Part No: 4589b  Name: Cone 1 x 1 with Top Groove
* 
4589b Cone 1 x 1 with Top Groove
Parts: Cone

I don't care which one of those I get (with or without groove). I would love
to have the option for either in my Wanted List (but not both!)
