How to Upload XML Code to BrickLink

Here’s how to use the parts list XML code with a PC or Mac (a mobile device will likely give you an error):

  1. Open the .rtf file containing XML code.
  2. Copy the entire text starting with “<INVENTORY>”.
  3. Go to https://bricklink.com.
  4. Create an account on Bricklink if you don’t have one yet.
  5. On the top right, scroll over “Want” and then select “Wanted List”
  6. “Create New List” and name it however you’d like.
  7. On the top right, scroll over “Want” and then select “Upload”.
  8. Select “Upload Bricklink XML format”.
  9. Paste the entire text you copied in Step 2.
  10. Select the Wanted List you created in Step 6 in the dropdown by Add to:
  11. Click “Proceed to verify Items”; at this point you should see the list of parts you need to purchase.
  12. Pro tip: If you have multiple models you’re shopping for (e.g. gun and display stand and display plaque), it’s highly recommended you upload all their parts to the same Wanted List so that you can more easily combine them into the smallest possible number of shopping carts / stores / orders placed at the same time for less expensive shipping.

If you encounter any parts errors (for example, parts 3062b, 3068b, 3069b and/or 3070b) when trying to upload your parts list code to BrickLink, open the text file with XML code in a text editor app, search for those codes (Command+F or Ctrl+F) and delete the ‘b’ or other add-on letter in each code. If you encounter any further issues, please contact me.

*Please note: Unless you already own the printed 1×1 letter and number tiles ($4–5ea on the secondhand market) that are used in the display stand, I suggest you skip these discontinued parts, and just add a couple more 1×8 plain tiles, in ordering the pieces. This will bring the estimated cost of the stand (plus s/h) closer to $20 USD instead of $50. 🙂
