Collection Stash: A collection catalog platform

Some more thoughts...

Should we be ignoring indefinite and definite articles (a/an/the) when sorting titles, e.g. "Friend, The" instead of "The Friend"? That is the way almost all books, movies, DVDs, etc. are sorted on other sites, and it makes it easier to find an item. This would apply to categories, licenses, item titles, etc.

Hmm, this is another interesting thought. I want to keep the label of the licenses and stuff the true name but I can see that being necessary for searching.

This is something I can put on the list to look into but I won't be able to get to it right away.

I will get these in tonight! I remember not adding all of Hot Toys at the time because it was a pain getting all of their information because their site was down.

Yeah, it is down right now! I was going to do some research but couldn't.



I just tried adding the Bruce Lee Deluxe Sideshow Exclusive figure and it kept telling me it already existed, even though it doesn't appear to be in the catalog yet. What field is the unique identifier or key? Or is that not even one of the visible fields?

It is probably still pending. On that list you see now, it should say status either "Pending" or "Approved".

Gotcha! Didn't think of it being pending...

What did you try changing with the Duo?

It was auto denied and I assume because nothing was changed.

All of these have been added except for the ones under "Misc" and then the "Early pieces".

Right now those can just be added under the category "Hot Toys" until we figure out the best way to categorize them.

Also, I noticed for the Bruce Lee DX that it is a MMS - DX. Right now I have DX as its own category.

I am pretty sure all DX right now are movie based characters but I guess they could do non movie based characters in the future. Does it make sense to keep DX by it self or have DX/MMS or MMS/DX.

I think I like DX being a higher category because then you can see all DX figures at that level.
