Transformers News / Photo contest?
March 04, 2013, 10:55:25 AM
I saw something about photo contests that used to happen here on Shmax. What ever happened to them? Any plans on a new one?

Help Us Build the Database / How do I...?
November 27, 2012, 09:51:59 AM
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/10364/devastar_coin

How do I get this item to show up when searching "Constructicons Devastator", since that's what's on the front and back of the package, and that's how I tried to find it? :)
103
When adding a new form to an item (in this case it was Hasbro MP Prime's trailer), you can't immediately select one of the uploaded pics until you've saved the part and then go back in and edit it again. See screenshot for an example. This was in Chrome. It appears the thumbnails that show in that little list are shown full size and push the radio selector off the page.

More specifically, I think it only happens when you're adding new pics to a part AND adding the new form all at the same time.

Not sure what the faction is called (Star Seeker?), but here's what I could do for the faction logo short of re-drawing it in Illustrator  ;)

It's a close up picture of one of the tampo'd symbols on his flank i alt mode. The symbol printed on the box is obviously better but is slightly overlapped by the product shot. If you want I can take and PS that one to add the missing/overlapped details...

Is the recent release at BBTS the same as this item (aka warehouse find)
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/483/soundwave_with_laserbeak_and_battle_ravage

or is it a new run of the figure? The packaging looks identical to me, but it appears the gold trim around Soundwave's tape deck is darker "gold" that the one pictured here, which looks more yellow-ish.

So, if you pick an option in Toyline, Form or Mold the tree there disappears and doesn't display the sub-tree (or whatever you'd want to call it).

Feature Requests/Announcements / Your Submission Queue

What is this feature supposed to show? I have both pics and a new accessory submitted that haven't been approved yet, but nothing shows up in my submission queue.
108
I was editing http://www.shmax.com/modify_part/31262/instruction_booklet, and I tried adding a new group to put the instruction sheet into. The link did nothing. Tried in both Firefox 14 and Chrome.

Feature Requests/Announcements / Header
July 23, 2012, 11:43:11 AM
Is it possible to sticky the search bar to the header so it's always visible? It would make it easier while editing products to not have to scroll all the way back to the top to get to it  ;D

http://www.shmax.com/view_collection/1/1544

Not sure if this is a bug or some other issue causing this strange data, but I'm sure that the small Kre-O Optimus set is not the most valuable item in my collection at $183.18 MIB (see right column).
113
How can we add this info to the database? I'm thinking a whole new "tree" would be a way to go, listing for example "Generations (2012) Wave 1", and the items already in the database can be linked to it. In this case, 3 x FoC Jazz, 3 x FoC Optimus and 2 x FoC Shockwave. Or maybe just some way to mark each item in a specific wave/revision with that info so it can be searched that way?

General Transformers Discussion / FE Bulkhead
June 27, 2012, 11:15:24 AM
So I finally got one of these guys, and seller was from Malaysia. I'm not certain which one to file it as in my collection. I think the Canadian ones have some French on them? The Takara ones have obvious markings so I know the one I have isn't that. Hong Kong? Also, there is a sticker on the bottom right above the UPC that says "Distributed by: HASBRO TOY (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD." Is this a new release we should put in the database?

When going through the package list at the bottom, United States -> KRE-O -> Transformers -> THERE'S NOTHING TO PICK FROM THE LIST!  ;D

I need to add this part to Kre-O Prowl. 2 of them.

Feature Requests/Announcements / More characters for bio?
February 27, 2012, 05:44:26 AM
Shattered Glass Drift's bio is longer than can fit in the the field. I'm guessing he needs AT LEAST 100 more characters, just skimming through it.

I added some pics to this part, and these are the errors I got which did not allow me to choose pics for the form:

This is a required field.
Enter as many forms as you like. Note that any changes made here will also be applied to any other parts that share this part's mold (except for photos).

Submitting a photo? Use the gallery section above to upload your photo, then return here and select the photo you uploaded using the photo picker widget in the 'Image' column.

error details redacted

GIF sig is broken...

Apparently when submitting a delete request, the comments field doesn't show up in your queue. Engledogg asked me why I was asking to delete things, even though I had filled out the comments section during the delete request.
120
Note, this seems to only be on figure or accessory editing pages, not on package editing pages. Instructional text on the left is squished and the center area is supa-wide. This happens in both Chrome and Firefox 8.x.

See screenshot.
