Wishlist and Set Completion

Mark items you want as Wanted in any collection, and track series completion for Pokémon, Hot Wheels, comics, Funko Pop and LEGO.

Marking an item as wanted

Every item in Owlect is either owned or wanted. Mark an item as Wanted to keep track of something you are looking for but don't have yet. This works in every collection type, including custom ones, and you don't need to add a custom field for it.

1Add a new item, or open an item and tap "Edit"

2Under "Ownership", choose "Wanted"

3Save the item

The item now shows a blue "Wanted" badge in every view: gallery, list and table.

On the collection page, the All / Owned / Wanted filter shows everything, only what you own, or only your wishlist. The filter appears as soon as at least one item in the collection is wanted.

Wanted items can't be for sale

An item can't be wanted and for sale at the same time. When you choose Wanted, the For Sale option disappears from the form. If the item was listed for sale, saving it as Wanted removes the listing.

When you get it

Open the wanted item and tap "Mark as owned". The Wanted badge disappears, and the item shows up in your followers' feed as a new addition. Wanted items never appear there before you own them.

Stats and plan limits

Your collection stats and spending totals count owned items only, so a pricey wish never inflates them. The stats page shows how many items you want separately. Wanted items do count toward your plan's item limit, just like owned ones.

BoardGameGeek sync

When you sync board games from BGG, games on your BGG wishlist, want to buy or want in trade lists come in as Wanted. Every other BGG status comes in as owned. A re-sync changes a game between owned and wanted only when its status changed on BGG since the last sync, so a game you mark as owned on BGG becomes owned in Owlect too, while a choice you made in Owlect stays as it is until the game's BGG status changes. A game you have listed for sale in Owlect stays owned and keeps its listing, even if it is on your BGG wishlist, want to buy or want in trade list. If you later remove the listing, it stays owned until its BGG status changes.

Wanted items on your public page

When you share a collection, visitors see the Wanted badge on wanted items, both in the collection grid and on the item page, so it is clear what you are still looking for. They can use the same All / Owned / Wanted filter.

Set completion

For set-based collections, the Completion page shows how much of each set or series you have. Open the collection and tap "Completion". Only you can see it: completion is never shown on your public pages.

Each set or series shows your owned and wanted items. Wanted items never count as owned, so progress only goes up when you mark them as owned. Items with no series (or no theme, for LEGO) aren't in any group; they are counted in one "No series" line instead ("No theme" for LEGO).

Which collection types have set completion

Pokémon Cards - sets come from TCGdex, so the total and every card number are filled in automatically. Each card slot is owned, wanted or missing.

Hot Wheels - grouped by series, numbered by collector number

Comic Books - grouped by series, numbered by issue

Funko Pop - grouped by series, numbered by the figure number

LEGO - grouped by theme. LEGO themes show your owned sets and your wanted sets as a list, without numbered slots, because set numbers aren't positions in a theme.

Owlect has no built-in checklists for Hot Wheels, comics, Funko Pop or LEGO, so the total for each series or theme comes from you. Other collection types, such as coins, stamps, books and custom collections, don't have a completion page. If you remove the series field (or the theme field, for LEGO) from a collection, its Completion page goes away too.

Entering a series total

Each series card has a "Set total" link. Enter how many items the series has and save.

With a total, the card shows how many of them you own and a percentage. Numbered series get one slot per number, each marked owned, wanted or missing, so you can see exactly which numbers you still need.

Numbers like 5/10 are read automatically: if your items are numbered that way, Owlect uses 10 as the total and you don't need to enter it. A total you enter always wins.

Without a total, the card shows how many items you own and want, and the percentage is "of tracked": the share of the items you track in that series that you own, not how much of the whole series you have.

Totals can be any whole number from 1 to 100000. A series is shown as a list instead of numbered slots when its total is over 500, or when its numbers aren't plain numbers from 1 to the total.

Use "Edit total" to change it, or "Clear total" to remove it.
