Help Us Build the Database / Re: "Buy it now" Feature

November 29, 2015, 10:33:47 AM

Amazon also offers this type of thing in their affiliate program, or at least they did. It was something I saw a lot of Japanese websites take advantage of and something I toyed around with. I never made any money from it tho.

General Transformers Discussion / What are these Legion class?

November 28, 2015, 11:45:02 AM

When looking up TFs to add to my collection, recently I just sort by the assortment number. Today I bought 2 Legion class figures at Dollar General because they are having a Buy 1 Get 1 75% off sale. The two I got are:

Cliffjumper B2586/A7725
Skywarp B2585/A7725

At first I thought the Skywarp was this one:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/20548/skywarp

But when I look at all 10 releases of A7725, there are 2 that are called "CW packaging" which is Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. CW, is this to mean the artwork taking up most of the card from the left, and the right is the black strip with the red Transformers logo? If so then that is what these two are. The other ones at the store in this type packaging were Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Grimlock.

Anyways, I had to ask because there are not pictures of either packaging type under A7725.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Able to add purchase date prior to release date

November 05, 2015, 02:03:42 PM

Ok this is a worst case scenario and likely a user error but OTOH it seems silly the site lets you do it.

Take this Wings of Honor Villians set. It came out May 28, 2009:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/5821/wings_of_honor_villains

However, user lightsyder has it in his collection saying he bought it June 01, 1940!
I found it on his Flash signature on the Fun Facts tab, as can be seen here:
http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/121574-e-hobby-exclusive-legends-deadlock/page-2#entry3070195

It also shows up with that date on his profile but it is a WAYS down...

General Transformers Discussion / Re: Collection Appraisal?

October 15, 2015, 08:16:31 AM

Oh I recently got this done. Yep I just picked a coverage amount and that equals x monthly payment. The rates (for me) are pretty low as I got it in addition to car insurance.

Help Us Build the Database / Re: Combiner Wars Hunters SDCC set

September 22, 2015, 08:37:07 AM

Anyone have any info?

I looked into this yesterday and could find no indication that the comic came with the set. Only that the comic was initially an exclusive with a different cover than what was released regularly.

Help Us Build the Database / Re: Armor part sprues?

August 14, 2015, 08:22:10 AM

So you mean no pics of the individual pieces once they're off the sprue?

No I think that still applies, given the reasoning that if someone were to get an item second hand, it likely won't be on the sprue still. Look at the G1 example.

Isn't there a way to add secondary pictures for an item? I would say the pic of the full sprue would be good as a pic like that.

If you are going to do that, then it would be added to guys like this too?

What about other Transformers that belong to multi-property lines but are just in the TF section? Like KT Figure Collection, SCF and MyClone?

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Submission email says Delete for some reason.

July 28, 2015, 06:30:43 AM

The submission accepted emails I got for when I attached the gold weapons to Rumble say "Delete" in them:



I checked the part and figure records and everything seems fine. I do not know what was being deleted or if it is just a bug.

Help Us Build the Database / How to attach an existing accessory to another product record?

July 25, 2015, 12:01:01 PM

I was going about adding my new items and ran across something.

This Ravage/Rumble:
http://www.shmax.com/product_details/1752/ravage_and_rumble

Rumble doesn't have his guns as accessories. The appropriate accessories already exist and are in the Ratbat/Frenzy record:
http://www.shmax.com/part_details/5867/thruster_gun_left

Unless they are actually different molds...

How can I add these guns to the Rumble record? Do I have to recreate both weapons or is there another way?

July 07, 2015, 07:23:42 AM

Chrome I think. It is the "internet" icon on the screen. I posted my user agent in the first post.

Also: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus

However that site seems to be more concerned the actual design, rather than functionality.

I can try to search for anything. For example I can type in Windcharger or Roadbuster and press the go button. The page submits the search and the URL changes appropriately, but it still just shows everything.

I also am using a Galaxy S4.
