Let me know.

It won't change the page anymore, but you can use the menu on the top, or the menu to the left (the word "toys" then "transformers"...etc. to get to your catalog view.

Those were not the TFC reissues they were the commemorative series, completely different line. One is Takara, one is Hasbro.

Correct, so feel free to send us an email if you want to curate and we'll get the ball rolling.

Can I enter multiple instances of the same figure? (I.e. I have a loose one and a sealed one)

Yes, definitely. If you get to the site, click Collect. Now you are in Collect mode. That's your whole collection. If you then use menus to drill down, you'll see less of your collection. Want to see the whole catalogue, click Buy mode and revisit.

We're still playing with the scenarios for Buy and Collect, so hang tight as we figure out what is most intuitive and works best for everyone.

And yes, you can enter multiple instances in two ways:

1) If they are the same in every way, just adjust the quantity field in the Have overlay.

2) If they aren't, do them in two seperate Have instances.

Soon you'll even see same product, different details split up in your Collect mode but not in Buy mode to further differentiate the two.

That sounds like a great idea. If I can still Beta test it, I would be up for it.

I'm a huge Alternators/Alternity fan, if there's nobody curating those lines I think I'd like to take that on. I'm going to take a look at the curator tutorial video you posted tonight.

Sounds good, send us your full name, home address and home phone and we'll get your curator agreement ready. Alternators is open season. Finish it up, and we will pass you Alternity as well.

Cheers

question and i'm probably asking this when you already answered this ... if i throw up a photo and decide later that -its not up to snuff, how do i remove the photo? Plus is there something that shows what photos i've put up or how many photos i've contributed?

We're working towards most of those features. In particular, these 2 are near the top of our list:

1. In Collect Mode, show your photos instead of the curator-selected photos.
2. In Collect Mode, have a "Photos" tab where you can edit your photos' details.

Also, curators have the authority to choose which photos are shown for each product in their catalog. So if there's a photo that's not great, they can make it not show for that product.
