The re-scraping to add new parts is underway! Thanks for the reminder, Graham. Often happens that the selection changes according to what's actually available. There are almost zero klickies listed in the Spare Parts on the official site for any set, so we have to refer to the instructions for them. I can tell you though, regarding 6464, that all the klickies in 3627 got brand-new official pictures, so I'd say that's a good sign that the numbers will be re-used.

The instructions for 6043 - Polizei-Mannschaftswagen mit Licht und Sound (police van), and 6055 - Feenwäldchen mit Einhornpflege (fairy house) are online.

Total official PDF count now 2018.

That's good news, Heather. Still a few gaps amongst older sets (e.g. 3627 still has no pdf).

There are almost zero klickies listed in the Spare Parts on the official site for any set

Would it be possible for you to post a list of all the klickies currently showing on 'find spare parts' (and therefore available from DS), which data-scraping has revealed, if its not too much work to create such a list? The ones which are available seem few and far between and with no apparent logic to their inclusion (unless DS simply over-stocked with some?).

Hm. I don't update data from the official site on-demand, just in batches every few days. I know what *has* been visible, because it has a picture or name; but even those are not necessarily available at any given time. I also run scrapes for series of part numbers on spec, just to see if pictures or names will show up. An example of the latter is 30 00 6693 - I wrote a script to ask the site for data on a list of part numbers I don't have yet, and this one showed up with a picture. It's not actually available to order, though. Also, the Ersatzteilefinden functionality is a javascript pop-up, so I can't even link straight to that for any number.

HOWEVER, this page has an ordinary URL: Fresstrog II and for *available parts*, (not the klicky listed above), replacing the number in the URL with another part number brings up a similar page. I might be able to make use of that - even just to make the link without checking on availability, to let the user click through and look for themselves.

Thanks for that, Heather. I can see why the page with a standard URL could be easier to interrogate than a Java pop-up, but I personally don't know how to write script to automate this, so I use the SLOG method, entering numbers manually into a dialogue box or URL!

I was keen to see if there is any pattern or logic to the klickies which can be ordered from DS, as well as perhaps letting people know what they are! I found this guy on DS, but not the other three from 5127 which I need. And at £2.30, it is not particularly cheap (cf £1.99 for a mystery fi?ure).
