Is it just me not understanding the new store or did they seriously limit the filter possibilities? Before I could filter on e.g. "V4 clothes" ocr "Genesis 2 characters"... now I can filter just on "clothes" or "characters".

A very fundemental rule for running a good store:

**Make it easy for the customers to find what they want! **(Otherwise they go somewhere else where it's easier to find what they want...)
