Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Viewing collection using the country option

April 10, 2013, 08:35:11 AM

It says I have 37 items in Japan under Beast Wars, or at least 37 items in Japan, but nothing shows up:
http://www.shmax.com/view_collection/219/56?country=78
But if I click on all toylines, then go into Japan, I can see the Beast Wars items
http://www.shmax.com/view_collection/1/56?country=78

But even then, if I expand the top part of Transformers, Beast Wars does not even show up.

Help Us Build the Database / Getting toy lines out of the TF category

April 08, 2013, 10:22:45 AM

Now that there is support for multiple product lines, the following should get out of the Transformers category since the TFs are "guests" in those toy lines.

Super Collection Figure (SCF/MegaSCF)
Choro-Q
Revoltech
K-T Figure Collection
MyClone

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]404 message

April 03, 2013, 07:34:16 AM

I found the 404 message, I checked the number I dialed:
http://www.shmax.com/results/1?r=0&sku_man=8

That link is from clicking on the manufacturer (TakaraTomy) in the Devestar page:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/9175/devastar

Seems to happen for other manufacturers too.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Gray vs Grey

March 24, 2013, 10:08:35 AM

Since there are 2 ways to spell that color, is there a way that searching for one of the other will search for both? Here are my results searching for Blackout:

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / What is UPC Hunter?

March 18, 2013, 04:16:49 PM

I found the super secret Shmax UPC Hunter! 

While it is neat, I can search for UPC codes, it seems to only link to products on Amazon.com. Both images and links... and it has items that are NOT in the Shmax database.

Anyways, since I couldn't find a link to it from anywhere on the site... I won't post the link.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Item in collection not saving changes

March 17, 2013, 12:01:15 PM

I have 2 Gobots Command Centers:
http://www.shmax.com/view_collection/2896/56

I have both added, the first one (opened) went fine but the second one (loose) I added won't save after I uncheck all the accessories. I've tried it multiple times, it always reverts to checking all the boxes again. I never see the "saving" thing come up, I've even let it sit there.

Help Us Build the Database / Canadian DOTM at US Retail

March 17, 2013, 11:47:30 AM

Going through my backlog for additions, I noticed that an item I bought at US Retail is actually a Canadian product. The one in question is DOTM Major Sparkplug and Autobot Whirl:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/8911/major_sparkplug_and_autobot_whirl

I purchased this at Ollie's. Should I add it to my collection and add my US price paid, or should I modify the record to add a release country?

I don't know what the release date is (I could just use the Canadian one) and also wouldn't know the MSRP. The price tag says the "their price" is $15.99 and the actual price is $7.99 but I don't know if "their price" is the Canadian MSRP or the MSRP of the US equivalent.

Help Us Build the Database / Kre-O problems

March 08, 2013, 11:30:59 AM

Hey how about some packaging variations? All the Preview Series Kre-O toys have the same pic:
http://www.shmax.com/database/3301?browse=0
See the code 21451 8, this is Galvatron. They aren't really blind packs. Here are the rest:

Crankstart, A1010 (214510)
Galvatron, A1008 (214518)
Scorponok, A1011 (214511)
Spinister, A1007 (214517)
Sunstorm, A1009 (214519)
Waspinator, A1012 (214512)

BUT there is a problem. Today I bought Sunstorm and Galvatron... but the code is different now! Here they are

Galvatron (215118)
Sunstorm (215119)

So what to do with this?

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Possible problem with collection

February 22, 2013, 04:24:43 PM

I don't want to cause a panic, but I found an item missing from my collection. While re-adding it, I had found that 2x remove thing. It was this pre-rub Skywarp:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/1761/skywarp

I was looking up this item to find out what parts I needed for it.

I can't confirm that I may have missed it somehow, but I have almost all my TFs added into here, with exception of 4 new things I bought and stuff in the mail.

So it may be just my error, but keep it in mind in case you find something else like this.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]double remove

February 22, 2013, 04:19:59 PM

The text word "remove" appears twice. See attachment.

The extra "remove" only appears when the item is expanded.

Also (unrelated, no big deal), SMF footer is left justified.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Signature nitpicking

February 11, 2013, 12:42:07 PM

Its always been this way, but technically there shouldn't be an "s" after the apostrophe in my name:

It says "Tripredacus's Collection" but should be "Tripredacus' Collection"

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Add to collection not working?

I'm trying to add items into my collection, but when I click on the "Add to collection" link either on the product page or on the search results, nothing happens.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Signature difference

January 31, 2013, 05:36:01 PM

My full and compact sigs show different approx value. They both show my most recent add tho, otherwise I wouldn't report it.

Full sig says: 10350.08
Compact says: 10194.13

Are the different sigs on different refreshes?

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Strange values on products

January 28, 2013, 07:10:18 AM

Someone asked me how much Scorponok was worth, so I looked it up:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/1183/scorponok_with_lord_zarak_and_fasttrack

What is up with those sealed prices? Looks like something else's data was used there.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Menu bar different on forum

January 24, 2013, 06:49:19 AM

I just noticed this... Its probably been this way for a while. The site menu bar (Shmax logo on left, my drop down on right) is different on the regular site vs the forum. On the regular site, the menu bar's width matches the "content" width. On the forum, the right side of the menu bar goes to the screen edge.

General Transformers Discussion / Transformers that are actually worth something!

January 17, 2013, 06:54:22 AM

I was searching on ebay to research something and found that the Perth Mint had minted some .999 oz Silver Transformers coins! Here are the 2009 ROTF coins:
http://worldmintcoins.com/2011-australian-coins/transformers-australian-silver-proof-coins
There was also a release for DOTM coins.

Online sales indicate that this is the type of product that has some great competition on buying. No more is it just TF and toy collectors, but since these are actual silver coins, coin collectors and the investment types are buying them. So they can get kinda pricy.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Avatar overlap when looking at collected list

January 13, 2013, 12:09:37 PM

I found an overlap issue with a user's avatar with their name when looking at a collected listing.

I was looking at "collected by" list for Prime Vehicon, then sorted by collection completion percentage least. Here is a link to that:
http://www.shmax.com/collectors?sku_id=10370&sort=rank_completion.d

If you scroll down a bit, you'll find airachnid's avatar is obscuring the beginning of the user name.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Sig GIFs yanked on TFW2005

January 08, 2013, 08:14:50 AM

Not a bug, but a concern.

Well it seems TFW2005 didn't appeciate the new dynamic signatures. Mine was removed at some point in the past 24 hours. Looks like a lot of signature got pulled while looking around the forums.

For the record, my dynamic signature is 72KB and the basic one is 42KB (as reported on the signature selection page). TFW rules say 40KB max. It seems like an archaic rule they have over there concerning the size but what do I know?

Feature Requests/Announcements / Possible additional condition types?

December 20, 2012, 01:28:22 PM

Do you think some day we can get options for Loose/Incomplete or Junker? Just an idea since I just added something to my collection and I only have an accessory.

Help Us Build the Database / Item search terms

December 07, 2012, 04:00:06 PM

Searching for Grotesque only returns this item:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/2179/grotus

Searching for Grotusque shows both the US one as well as the Japanese one. Can someone add Grotesque as a search term for the US one as well? I didn't see a way to add search words in the Modify record page.
