One thing I do want to mention...if you submit a new product and it is approved, double-check to see if we already have the parts/figures in the the database before attempting to fill in the contents of the product with new parts.
For something like the Euro Stormcloud, a product that contains parts that already exist in the database, you don't need to create a new Stormcloud figure. You just need to link the existing part/figure to your new package.
To double-check the database, just do a search for something like "Universe Stormcloud". If we have it in the database under other countries, you can use that information to fill in the product you just created.
Here are the results of that search:
http://shmax.com/results/1?browse=0&s=universe%20stormcloudYou would go to the mod page for the existing Stormcloud figure (
http://shmax.com/part_details/2968) and submit the new product information there (at the bottom of the screen, under the "Which product(s) contain this part?" section) by selecting country, the toyline, etc.
For something like your Euro Human Alliance Bumblebee, I'll talk you through it. You would create the product record here:
http://shmax.com/database/1868Once you have your submission approved, then do a search for something like "human alliance bumblebee revenge" to get to this results page:
http://shmax.com/results/1?browse=0&s=human%20alliance%20bumblebee%20revengeOut of these, choose something like:
http://shmax.com/product_details/6132/bumblebee_with_sam_witwickyand then click on each of the parts you would like to add to the new HA Bumblebee record you created. Once you're on each part's record, that is where you can assign these parts to your new product record. In this case, I chose the Bumblebee figure:
http://shmax.com/part_details/16074/bumblebeeClick the "Modify Bumblebee" link to open up the modify page.
Once there, immediately scroll down to the bottom of the page to the "Which product(s) contain this part?" section (you don't need to modify any of the existing information, so shoot straight down to the bottom of the page) to link this part to by choosing the country, line, subline, etc. to find the product you just created. Once you've found it, put a 1 in the box. This will add it to the new product. Repeat for the rest of the parts. Don't worry if you mess up, a mod can always fix up mistakes.
It sounds a bit complicated, when you see it written out like this, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple.
Alternatively, if you're not concerned with moving these parts and are happy just submitting product records, don't worry. Mods have a tool that makes it possible to copy the contents of existing products quickly and painlessly.
Thanks!
