Last post by engledogg - October 05, 2023, 07:26:31 PMCool...don't sweat adding stuff on your own - I'll add the contents when I get a chance, using Transformerland as a guide. I've been getting the names of some of the weapons on the GaoGaiGar wiki, as well.

Last post by KidTDragon - October 05, 2023, 03:32:29 PMJust a small correction: the origin of the name Salt-man did not come from Spanish, but from Portuguese, when the toy was launched in Brazil.Good point. Thanks for the correction!

Last post by ScottyP - October 05, 2023, 09:59:17 AMSo, 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.

Last post by engledogg - October 05, 2023, 06:19:04 AMOkay...those Combiner/Roleplay subcats are pretty much worthless then? Should I just nuke them?

For stuff like this, of which I have no knowledge of, lay out how you think it should be organized, and we'll go from there. I was just going by the only reference I could find on these guys.

Last post by ScottyP - October 05, 2023, 05:30:59 AMOnly 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.

Last post by engledogg - October 04, 2023, 11:55:55 AMDone - I added the Combiners, DX, and Roleplay subcategories (I borrowed Transformerland's format).
If anything else needs to be added, let me know.

Last post by triKlops - October 01, 2023, 03:39:35 PMI love all of those SA Jumpstarter repaints. So much depth and variance in them.
The 3P repaints from a few years ago of their Jumpstarter CHUGs was great as well.
