How do 3 in 1 Super Packs work?

Hi,

How do you record your sets in the 'My Set' database when they are a 3-in-1 Super Pack?

I purchased 66411, which includes 9488, 9489 and 9495. I key in the details in the ACM but the database does not register I own the individual sets or the minifigs. How do you record this info?

I figure if I record the individual boxes my buy prices will be out, if I register both 3-in-1 and individual boxes (with zero buy price) then my total sets count is out. I also notice that Brickpicker (which imports from BrickSet) does not particularly like the 3-in-1 code.

Please ask if I haven't explained myself clearly, I know it's a kind of weird situation but many people must have come across it before. How did you get around this?

For a situation like that, I'd enter that I owned the three individual sets but that's just me.

If you want to keep both set count/prices accurate, you can divide the price for 3in1 to three and price the individual sets at that amount. That should keep both parts accurate.

To be the most accurate, obtain pricing data for the three sets, and use it to compute weighting factors: set1/(set1+set2+set3) etc., then multiply those by your buy price, to pro-rate how much each set cost you.

That's an idea. I'll mull it over for a bit.

Thanks for the tip.

You could use MSRPs to calculate the weights.
