So, all the stuff on Transformerland is pretty much DX and they unnecessarily broke it down into four categories including two combiner categories and a roleplay category that aren't officially recognized? - imo, yes

Also, I just want to verify that January and March were actual months that you intentionally selected for the release dates for some of the figs.  I want to make sure we don't have a bug or something. - got the dates from catalogs where it was visible, sometimes it wasn't or the MTL didn't pick it up so I left them as just "1997"

Additionally, we have to fill up these products with contents as we don't need any more empty products on the site.  I'm assuming Transformerland is useful in that capacity as they seem to have some pretty good galleries with the parts and whatnot.- is there a tutorial for that anywhere? Tried this back when adding Beast Saga stuff and was overwhelmed, figured it best to leave it be instead of breaking things. I can't think of any better resources for the info, not any thorough sites for Brave on the web, at least that I can find.

Only one of those I'll probably use for now is DX, that's how most of the line was sold. Transformerland is not the best reference for these, so I'm going to use the catalogs that came with toys. There is some standard stuff but I don't have my ducks in a row for that.
Do we have Microman anywhere? There were 3 GGG figures released under its "Micro Action" line (alongside characters like, of all things, Batman) that I'd like to get in here. Probably several TF collectors that would love to get that old LED Powers stuff added too.

I've been going down a rabbit hole of 90s Brave stuff and all I see here are newer lines/SoC/etc https://shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=5719
Please add a subline where I can add the original Takara releases. Thanks!

Please add this series, I can start entering items. These came out in Canada some months back.

Before I add things to Gundam Universe, I was wrong about it. Should be a subcategory of Tamashii Nations. Amazing what you learn looking at the front of a box instead of just the back ><
6
Please add Flame Toys under Transformers. Sublines within are Kuro Kara Kuri, Furai Model Kits and Furai Action Figures
Also, please add Gundam Universe under Tamashii Nations. This is not a Robot Spirits product line, it's a new line of Gundam figures in the 6" scale.

Wave is over half comprised of Series 1 repacks but still some new ones + packaging variant collectors will want. Please add series 2, thanks!

Feature Requests/Announcements / Tax Paid field
July 17, 2019, 06:10:37 AM
I've been trying to get better about using the "Price Paid" and "Shipping Paid" fields recently. Once I started making a habit of it the paradigm shift with most online retailers now collecting sales tax occured. 
It would be useful to have a separate field for "Taxes Paid". This would allow folks like me trying to track their spending better to do so more accurately while (theoretically) maintaining the integrity of the "Price Paid" field. The same toy here in NC at retail price costs a consumer 6 to 7.5% more than it would for our pals in NH, OR, etc so I didn't want to start lumping that in with "Price Paid" and skew those numbers.

Please add subline for movie tiny turbo changers series 5. Should go with 3 and 4 under shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=7935

Wanted to chime in on these. Have dabbled with their Dinobots, and now they're beginning to make some unique (I think) color variations with those being available in toy or comic colors. 
Probably also a similar case to Zeta/Toyworld if I had to blindly speculate. Anyhow these feel like they could belong here now, imo.

Help Us Build the Database / G1 MetaColle category
December 05, 2018, 07:11:36 AM
Requesting series add for G1 MetaColle figures. Currently three figures and a faction symbol thingie (been using it as a paperweight!) Listings for reference: https://collecticontoys.com/search?q=metacolle 

Not sure if they should go under G1 > Japan or in their own thing, up to you!

Need to add Series 3 of the Tiny Turbo Changers, I'm happy to do so but not sure where they belong. They're available on EE despite the incorrect image on the listings (see: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/transformers-bumblebee-movie-tiny-turbo-wave-1-6pack/hse0692aa)
They're just packaged as "Movie Series 3", not really branded for the Bumblebee Movie - but not really for The Last Knight either. I'd guess they could go in either place, probably wouldn't hurt to put them under the Bee movie since that's probably what they were originally intended for.
Seems silly to make an entire parent line for them, so I'll let one of y'all make the call on where to put it and I'll go from there :)

Just noticed the Gashapon had volumes added, I see where I may have accidentally misled on that. Best I can tell there was only one assortment so  don't need the vol 1/vol 2 subs for that part.

New categories added! Don't forget to add the parts (figures and weapons/accessories) to each record as well. Thanks!
Hoping I can get around to that over the weekend, but yeah especially need to do that on the multi-figure packs! Thanks for adding the othsr groups, will try to get the entries in soon.

Thanks for the help so far! I've added what I can for the moment.

Need another grouping for "Campaign", looks like there were some giveaway figures here and there. Found a few on eBay and bought them with that knowledge because I have no self control ><

Also need a Gashapon category, and another Booster Pack volume for Volume 3.

There are a couple oddities with the numbering as opposed to release dates and item names with the vehicles, but what I put in is correct best I can tell. If you check the numbers you'll see BS-44 isn't there, turns out this was cancelled.

That should do it, the line didn't last long. Finding the info wasn't too bad, thankfully. A lot of 404s on the official Takara images but I do plan to circle back to that at some point.
