So I'm adding accessories for the MP-13B Soundblaster/Ratbat set, and I realized after submitting the part for the tape case that it already exists in the USA Hasbro version of Soundwave (clear). I tried deleting it so I could just link it from that item, but the delete page loads up blank. Is this because it hasn't been approved yet? If so, there should be some kind of message displayed from the end-user's point of view.

Also, I tried adding the panel/tape door extension piece and in the process of filling it out I used the part # from Soundwave's "Display Panel" piece since it's physically the same. Well, I pressed ENTER after typing in the part # under form, and this submitted the part instead of applying the field I was in to update that info. This caused the part to state that there was no package associated, which is true because that's at the bottom of the page and I didn't get there yet. So... I tried to edit it to add the package info but nothing showed up. And now if I go into Soundblaster to load up the not-yet-approved part, it doesn't even show up in the list. I'm not sure if it's stuck in some database limbo or not, so I'll wait for the go ahead before I submit it again.

OK, looks like Shmax fixed the weird issues here... but now I have to ask Ed something.

This Soundblaster part (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/38642) is the same physical mold as this Soundwave part (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/33233/display_panel), but it's use here is different. On Soundwave is was a display panel. On Soundblaster it serves to replicate the G1 character's deeper, purple tape door. I assigned part type Hardware > Door to it and had Shmax approve it to get the bugs all worked out. Is this OK, or should it still be a Panel?

It should be okay as it is...for example, a gun can be called a "blaster" for one guy and a "machine gun" for another, even though the part uses the same mold.
