Hi Jake,
I don't know how hard this would be, but how about a searchable flag or
label for instructions that are alternate models from another set or set(s)?
This would be good for folks who are looking to see what neat models they
can build from the sets they already have without needing extensive part
substitutions or Bricklink purchases. I don't think the definition of
"alternate model" needs to be too strict, as long as it is used in the
spirit of what I've described. A pure case would be the recent Star Wars
MINI variants James Mathis posted for set 4486. A good example of a little
less strict case is Thomas Burger's Santa Fe B-Unit that requires two 10020
sets plus two dark-gray 1x2 plates. Beyond this I think it would be
perfectly acceptable to consider a MOC that requires several particular sets
(e.g. a MOC made from all of the MINI set pieces combined) or a MOC that
also needs a reasonably short list of standard pieces common in many sets
(e.g. a few extra plates and/or bricks in common colors).
Thanks for listening to our suggestions and thanks for the BI portal in
general. It's a great resource!
Regards,
Paul
