Well under 400 alert to go now....
Of course this would be a great time to remove the repetition in my collection between all the US and Canadian releases, however some of the Canadian toys just aren't listed.

Any chance of lumping Canadian value data with US data?  Its only the bilingual packaging that's different.  Obviously keep it separate in the database but on the charts all data per character mold or something might be cool to look at.

Thanks again!

If you're sure your toys are of Canadian origin, and you're sure they aren't listed, then you'll be our hero if you add them to the database (and you'll be priming the appraisal data for each one with a single data point!). Engledogg might be willing to help you do the work if you can tell him what needs to be done. Lumping Canadian and US appraisal data is a different discussion, but we should definitely have it some day.

By the way, I suspect a lot of Canadians have "cheated" by just adding the US toys to their collection. Guess what the next round of alerts will be?

I hope to contribute a little yes.  
But my pictures aren't up to snuff yet, and I'm still learning about your site and its set up.  (Thus being annoying)
I've bought 95% of my toys in Canada so they should all be Canadian in origin... although not all necessarily different from the US packaging.

Pictures would be awesome, but I'm talking about just creating the records--photos aren't required to create a product record. We definitely do want to have a complete Canadian branch, so let's go for it!

I can see that, definately if they only got the toy loose. A similar thing was brought up when I couldn't confirm whether or not the toy that came with my Canadian Astrotrain (it was MIB) was a US version or not... because the toys are actually the same. Sometimes you just have to guess!

I'm hoping to clear out about 50 listings per day, but only do the Canadian and Japanese editions of my collection. Then roll the US listings into the Canadian section.

554 to go. I also just noticed I finally floated into the top ten collectors. Woot!

Nice work, RC. It's been a while since we've seen any movement in the top ten. That must have been some DOTM haul you picked up on Monday...

Pretty much everything except the Robo-Power figures...it also helped that my Gaiacross set came in.

Now, on the front page, I'm #9, but if I drill into my collection, it says I'm #17. Is one based on figure count and the other on dollar value?
