It'd also be nice to be able to add figures individually without having to go through the pop-up window (or have an option in the pop-up to say "fill in details later" or something. If I only have 1/4 of a catalog, I dont want to have to select the entire catalog then deselect 3/4 of it.

I'd also like to see the collection page displayed differently, or at least be able to customize it. I'd like to be able to see what categories I have figures in on a whole instead of having the click through 15 menus to pin point a category to see how many or which figures I have in that specific category. (I could probably explain this better in person/on the phone).

Can't add Bumblejumper. He's there with no image but the "have" button does not seem to work on in the pop-up window. Also the "report an error" button did not seem to work either. I imagine this an IE issue. I am using IE 8.

Just tried it out. Took a bit to figure out the catalogs are under the buy section. Once I found that, I found data entry easy. How useful is the price which I paid? I really have no idea what I've paid for most bots or where I may have picked them up. Some stick out because they were great deals or bought from a Cybertron.ca board member.

It would be nice to see a customizer/parts section in the future. I have boxes full of bots and 1/2bots, missing heads, arms, legs. Loose incomplete doesn't even come close to describing these guys.

My only other concern(customers don't have complaints, only concerns right?) is the pink color as mentioned before. Maybe the barbie collectors love it, but it just feels wrong. If you need help with graphics let me know, I would love to help if I can.

I'd love to try it out also hopefully i,m not late.

I love the "have" label that apears on picture of a toy after I've added it, it helps me know where I've left off when I come back later. The only problem I have is it doesn't automatically update after I enter a new bot, I have to refresh the page to see that change. This was a problem when I was entering Dinobots, I couldn't remember who I'd just entered. Is it supposed to automatically update or is this another IE browser issue?

I may be flogging a dead horse here but I'm also finding it a bit difficult to hit the "all" key when entering a bot and then having to change everything individually from "mint" to something else. I know that a new batch method of data entry is comming but could there just be a "change all to good" key or something? Even better would be an option to list everything except instructions as I was good at keeping my stuff but rarely have instructions for my G1s. This may just be personal to me though.

I think the method to browse catalouges needs to be stream lined and made a bit more visable on the sight. It took me a while to figure out how to find the catalouges and than how to search through them. I also think a help menu or tutorial page to help out new users should be created in case someone gets stuck or lost.

Other than that I really like the premise of the site and really look forward to more catalouges to be added.

I coulda sworn this was an online dating service when I saw the banner...LOL...glad I'm wrong.

If I were consistanly adding to my collection more than subtracting, this woulda been cool to try out. Good luck!

I think there is a data issue with Bumblejumper generally because he could appear in one of two products as a random instance. I will get Nick to have a look and try to resolve asap.

Thx,

I tried it out today and added a bunch of my things.

I have some suggestions:

I would like to see the catalogues as a drop down menu off the main page, for example

Transformer
>G1
>G2
>Classics
>Etc...

It would make it easier.

Also if we are logged in and click HAVE it should just add it without asking us if we have it Sealed or loose or whatever, unless I am selling it, those are details I do not need to enter right away. Given I am using this more as an online list with pictures and have no intention of selling what I have right now, those extra steps are a pain in the ass.

I also do not like that when I went to the Masterpiece list and added the Hasbro Masterpieces I had to add them again when I went to the classics and universe pages. That should be automatic.

I do like the general look and how the rest of it works, it seems like a fantastic idea and I am glad to be apart of it, I hope my suggestions help.
