Hey there, Max said to post this in the forums, so;
     Is there any way you can implement an "Add Category" feature soon? I've been trying to add a ton of stuff, but as it's all Canadian stock in multilingual packaging, most of it doesn't have categories yet. It's taking forever to add anything, as I can usually not find it listed. It'll save both you & I a lot of time if the new categories can be added when adding new figures.

In the mean time, here's a few categories I need added to the Canadian section, if you would be so kind;
-DOTM Zellers Exclusives for Voyagers (Starscream & Ratchet) & Deluxe [I've added a bunch of new items, but they're not categorized by class yet.]
-DOTM TRU Exclusive "The Scan Series" Deluxes.
-DOTM Speed Stars; Stealth Force Basic, Deluxe, Mega, & Ultra Classes
-DOTM Speed Stars; Trans Scan Series, Beast Machines Series, Night Attack  Series, & Stealth Force Series.
-DOTM Robo Power; Bash Bots, Activators, Robo Fighters, Go-Bots, & Revving Robots.
-DOTM Store Exclusive Multipacks of Deluxe& Voyager Class figs.
-DOTM Cyberverse; Multipacks
-Generations; Deluxe Class, & 3-Pack TRU Store Exclusive [War for Cybertron Figs.]
-Kre-O; Basic, Deluxe, & Leader Class Sets.

There'll be a lot more, but let's start with these for now.
Thanx again,
Mike [a.k.a. Fiend6669]

I'll add those later on today...in the mean time, just curious, when you enter a UPC, do you add spaces?

6 53569 61152 3

If so, it'll make a lot faster if you don't.  The system will put the appropriate dashes in, so you don't need to worry about adding spaces.  Saves me some time removing them, as well.  :)

If you're aren't manually adding the spaces, then we've got a bug.

Also, that ROTF Rally Mudflap and Offroad Skids set...you sure that was released in Canada?  As far as I know, that only showed up in Australia, Hong Kong, etc.

Same here.  Like the Walmart Optimus Prime/Comettor set?  Stuff like that?

Generations (and everything underneath it) is already present.  You'll find it here:

Okay...got most of the list done.  I'll get to the rest later today.

Do the spaces throw off the validator? I had thought that the back end would just strip them out and add the hyphens back in either way... not so?

If you accept a number with spaces, like the one above (6 53569 61152 3), it goes through unchanged when approved so that you end up with the number with spaces on the record (no hyphens are added by the system).

Then ugh, a bug. I'll see if I can fix it with the next batch, thanks much for the report.

shmax

I've got a fix--it was just something stupid. It'll probably go in this weekend with all the other stuff. Thanks again for the bug!

Yes, every one I entered was with spaces, as the input section says "Hyphens and spaces are optional", but I can skip them if it's causing problems or extra work.

I'm pretty sure, as I bought it in a Walmart in Toronto.

Not your fault...normally the system would be catching them and auto-correcting each one.  Once the bug is squashed, you can enter them any way you like.

Gotcha. I was just going by the information found on the TF Wiki.

Actually, it seems that perhaps the same quadrilingual packaging was used for both Canada and the releases I mentioned above.  If that proves to be true (which it might be since robotkingdom was selling the quadrilingual packaging version), I'll amend the existing record to include the Canadian release.

None of the boxes I've got say "Ultimate Gift Set" anywhere on them, so I don't think it's them, especially since there are no details listed as to what the set contains.
I was referring to these;
