I've been super into rebuilding my Mighty Machines Series 1 sets! They're a fun bunch of parts and it's a creative challenge to try and rebuild the limited functional pieces into new, fun mechanisms! I just got my 42233-2 Wheel Loader alt build approved and available for other people to try and build, you can find it here: https://reb.li/m/273156

My question, though, is how are we going to find alt builds for these sets? I feel like it would be ideal to be able to see all of the alt-builds for the subsets on the Rebrickable page for the whole series, as many people are going to have multiple of these sets and aren't going to search through 8 subpages' alt-build tabs to find things to build. Should we be listing these as 'partial alternates' and include the parent set (the Mighty Machines series) as one of the set inventory sources?

I have no idea if this is a problem, really, but I feel like I want my alt builds to show up on the parent set page, so people don't look at the Mighty Machines' page and think there's a lack of alt builds (besides mega build by Vahmi).

Advice welcome!

I've been super excited about the new Technic Mighty Machines Series 1 blind boxes and the potential for alternative builds with each vehicle! I went to make instructions for a Jackhammer I made, but needed a new part that wasn't in the Bricklink Studio catalog. I went ahead and used Blender/PartDesigner to make a part file that I could use to make the instructions I wanted to. I shared it, downloadable, on Rebrickable here [Rebrickable]. I hope people are able to make alt-builds and share them!

However, Studio is still missing the bucket/shovel panel that was also introduced with the series (parts 7450 and 7451). I could make an approximation for my own instructions, but I couldn't promise I'd get that surface correctly and in a shareable part file state. How long do we have to wait for Studio to add these? I don't follow new parts as they come out very closely, but these are exciting ones!
