Price weirdness in "Contribute Info"

Kookaburra · July 21, 2012, 03:36:06 AM

I keep getting requests for info for MSRP's in currencies other than the one I bought the item in. For example, being asked for AU$ MSRP's for United States releases. Also, is there a way to disable the MSRP field, or let it accept "NA" for Happy Meal toys?

ETA: The common theme for getting asked for AU$ is in the US releases of the Power Core Combiners.

For Happy Meal toys, just enter 0 for the price...we do this because, ideally, you'd purchase a Happy Meal to get the toy for "free". Of course, stores also sell the toys without having to purchase the Happy Meal, but the prices aren't uniform from store to store.

As far as the PCC Australia MSRP business...that's just because the release info of the record contains Australia. The packaging was unchanged from the U.S. release to the Aussie release, so we include both on the U.S. record. Nothing to worry about.

butbutbut then I won't be able to clear that entry from "things you can help with" tab!

this is one of those times where I should just tell my OCD to sit down and chillax, huh?

If you entered a 0 and it's still showing up in your "contribute info" list, it might just be a bug. I'm knee-deep in some other work right now, but I'll take a look at this when I get a chance.
