Wow, good eye. Each of these had some little problem or other:
http://shmax.com/product_details/7366/autobot_jazz_with_captain_lennox
Sellers weren't bothering with "autobot" (we generally try to remove "autobot" from search terms--we apparently missed this one) or "lennox", so I changed his search terms to just "jazz".
http://shmax.com/product_details/8344/autobot_topspin
"autobot" again
http://shmax.com/product_details/5928/barricade_and_decepticon_frenzy
A lot of sellers were using something like "barricade w frenzy". The "w" was being rejected by the auction matcher, so I've updated the greenlist generation to include a "w" whenever "with" or "and" is encountered in the name.

We had "voyager class" set as a "subline" in our toyline tree, which was making the search string generator include it as a required term. Sellers weren't using the term. I changed the search term for "voyager class" to "voyager", and changed the node type to "class".
http://shmax.com/product_details/8873/leadfoot_with_sergeant_detour_and_steeljaw
Shortened the search name to just "leadfoot". I also added "transformers 3" as a synonym for "Dark of the moon" (a lot of sellers apparently use it)

Not totally sure what happend with this one--I hit the "match auctions" button and it lit up like a xmas tree. I also added "g1" as a greenlit term to the "Masterpiece" toyline node. I'll work on finding out why some of these records aren't updating their auctions properly later.

Same
http://shmax.com/product_details/8916/nitro_bumblebee
Not sure about this one--it seems we just don't have the data to work with. The search string being generated is "nitro bumblebee (mechtech, "mech tech") -(japan, japanese, takara, canada, canadian) -repro -tribute -ko -knockoff* -lot -unlicensed -remake", which looks pretty reasonable and turns up plenty of results on eBay.
http://shmax.com/product_details/5847/roadbuster_with_sergeant_recon
I was able to get more matches by shortening his search terms to just "roadbuster", but I see we don't have anything after late last year, so something must still be broken deep down. Sigh.
http://shmax.com/product_details/10370/shockwave
Generated search is: "("003", "shockwave") generations -(canada, canadian) -repro -tribute -ko -knockoff* -lot -unlicensed -remake", which looks fine, but isn't turning up any matches on shmax.com. I'll have to find out what's busted...
http://shmax.com/product_details/5064/sideswipe
Rematched auctions, and there's plenty of data again, but still nothing after 2011.
I'll stop here and assume everything else is suffering from the same general fundamental problem. I'll get to work on this this evening. Thanks much for the reports...
