This is sort of a subtle one, and no one but me is really gonna appreciate it, but I spent the day re-engineering the way faction symbols are handled. You know I would love to bore you to death with details, but the long and short of it is that when you click on a faction symbol, you now see all toys that that use that exact symbol (instead of all toys that use that faction id). I know, I know, that sounds exactly like what it was doing before, but trust me, this is a little different. Hardly a major new feature--this is really just preparatory work for the Advanced Search feature that will be coming along in the near future. Alright, never mind, now, go back about your business...

p.s. Okay, let me try again; here's what you get when you open up an Energon Autobot figure, and click on his faction symbol:

note that you get all Energon autobots, but you also get matches for the Alternators and Botcon Autobot figures, which happen to use the same symbol. With the OLD system, if you clicked on an Energon autobot's faction symbol, you would have only matched all other Energon Autobots. Get the difference? Good. Good night!
