I think I'll just take my own photos as I have most of ROTF. Only problem is that I custom paint upgrade all my figures so they won't look "retail accurate". Hmmmm....

Manufacturer images are typically fair game. They will retain the right to ask us to remove them, but they are covered under Fair Use rights as they are released for marketing purposes and SL is nothing if not the ultimate brochure for Hasbro and their peers.

Naturally, your own photos are the most safe in terms of ownership but Hasbro's may look better if yours aren't shot on white backgrounds.

hey,

having a bit of trouble in the curator field. I have 2 figures that have no (0) items or accessories. i cannot post any pictures for these items as it comes up with the prompt "There's at least ONE item in the photo, no?". the answers no but there's no option for that. let me know, thanks.

Also, could you add an option for "MSRP (Japan)"?

Hey there,

So ALL products must have at least one item. Remember, the product is the packaged thing you buy at the store. The stuff inside of it are Items. So if you have a deluxe TF that comes MOC, but doesn't have any accessories, you still need to set up that bot as a Transformer Item on the backend.

Make sense?

Hey, I am currently adding my wants which mostly consists of individual accessories but when I'm done it lists my want as the figure plus the accessory I want. Is there any way to only choose the Item (i.e. missile)?

As long as you only chose the accessory in the Want panel then the data made it to the database properly. I think what you are really saying is if you only asked for the missile, we should just show the Missle in your wants list?

The thing is that all products are composed of items (see above) so we can't easily display items by themselves until we get the sort/filter bar in place, which we're working on.

In the meantime, you can keep adding your wants...we'll get that display fixed shortly.
