Help Us Build the Database / Re: Can we add LEGO as a Toyline?

July 15, 2020, 12:14:51 PM

That's a good point - I honestly didn't even think about the mold data/forms for each set.  That's significantly more daunting than I originally even thought of, honestly.
Would we want to have each piece marked individually on the listing?  So a listing would be for the name of the set, and then in each one we'd mark all of the pieces and their quantities along with the mold data/name (which luckily LEGO provides specific item numbers for literally everything).
I'm still down for it but I appreciate the advice and definitely would want to start smaller.  Would this be built in the site the normal way we add things to the database, or outside and then imported?

Help Us Build the Database / Can we add LEGO as a Toyline?

Lots of themes to add as separate toylines, but I'm happy to start curating the full LEGO toyline as much as I can.  I think this would be a big addition to the site since this is a major collectible that we don't currently have in the system.  Obviously it's a big undertaking but I'd love to get started and I'm sure others would work on it as well.

To get started I guess we can add what we have currently available.  So this would be (pulled from LEGO.COM)...

Help Us Build the Database / Re: Would like to complete the Disney Infinity database.

More subcategories needed:

Under Power Discs for 1.0, there needs to be...

Series 1
Series 2
Series 3
Exclusive Series

Under Power Discs for 2.0...

Wave 1
Wave 2
Wave 3

As well as the previously mentioned 1.0 Figure addition, "Crystal Series".

Thanks so much!

Excellent, thank you!  I can finish now, for the most part.

The only ones I wouldn't be sure of would be the Light FX exclusive series Star Wars ones under 3.0.  Would they go under "Star Wars", and then have an add-on to the figure, like so: Darth Vader (Light FX) or would they be their own category?

EDIT:

In line with the above question, there was another exclusive mini-series for 1.0 called "Crystal Series" figures.  Not sure how to categorize them in this instance.

EDIT II:

The multi-packs should be renamed "Play Sets" since that's what they're called officially - just realized that.  Additionally, I need a category for Marvel under 3.0 Play Sets/Multi-packs for one upcoming figure.

Hello!

Was going through and adding Disney Infinity figures that I noticed were not in the database, but then got to a point where a new figure could not be added into any of the available categories.

As it is, it is sorted as (using 3.0 as an example)...
--3.0
----Figures
----Multi-Packs
----Starter-Packs
----Power Discs

And that works to a point, but I believe it should be sorted as Disney themselves do - by franchise.  So, instead, it would look like this...
--1.0
---Figures
----Disney
----Crystal Series
---Multi-Packs
---Starter Sets
---Power Discs
--2.0
---Figures
----Marvel
----Originals
---Multi-Packs
---Power Discs
---Starter Sets
--3.0
---Figures
----Star Wars
----Marvel
----Disney
----Star Wars Light FX
---Multi-Packs
---Starter Packs
---Power Discs

Just an idea!
