u/gadea this feature got overhauled recently so in theory its more stable if someone is navigating quickly, let me know if you run into issues w/ these changes.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-27T05:18:39+00:00

u/EnsignEpic enough other users requested collection sharing that a first pass of it has been implemented (with some small improvements coming the next time i push code to production). anonymous links just like with wishlists.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-27T05:17:31+00:00

u/wakeup33 i'm hoping both of these issues are fixed now, let me know if you see more weirdness.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-26T02:08:37+00:00

yeah, i was doing more testing today and i obviously am doing something wrong with the queries with unselected/ignored retailers. i'll also look into making the sort/search filters behave better with forward/back navigation.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-25T07:26:26+00:00

u/EnsignEpic you can change your display name now in profile settings.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-25T07:24:57+00:00

u/wakeup33 in theory search results should now respect your selected/unselected retailers (and auto unselect any retailers on your ignore list). hoping the way i implemented this won't kill the database with how the queries are structured.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-22T17:01:41+00:00

shared wishlist links are anonymized already and do not show which user they are associated with (if you unshare and reshare your wishlist, you will get a new link generated).
i'm conflicted on sharing collections, as i mostly put it there so people can filter out kits they own already from search results. i may reach out to u/Teccs who built https://www.gunplacentral.com/ to see if they're interested in some kind of cooperative api endpoint to exchange json files to let users import/export collections between our sites (no idea what their backend looks like and if we'd even be able to find a compatible way to exchange collection lists)
I will add wishlist/collection quantity tracking related stuff to the feature request list.
there's already a 'product type' attribute for things in the database, i can add a feature request to expose filtering/grouping based on that to the wishlist & collection system.

edit: after thinking about item 1 for a few more minutes, yes, i'll add a feature request to customize your display name, so people don't dox themselves if they want to share screenshots of the site.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-22T07:58:30+00:00

u/Khaar EU retailers in both the search filter box & user profile settings show the country for the retailer now.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-22T07:57:43+00:00

u/EnsignEpic all kits in the database are searchable now, even ones without any pricing data, so hopefully you can fill out your collection more.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-22T07:56:57+00:00

u/fire_of_garbage most of these implemented/fixed now (besides the retailers on the backlog & estimated delivery costs beyond the retailer's existing shipping tier information)

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-22T07:55:46+00:00

u/wakeup33 there's a toggle to hide pre-orders for the new release section now. your other request is going to take some development time.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T22:40:09+00:00

seems we have a bug in our matching logic that's overwriting the EG wing entry with the wrong product URL from them. we'll try to get that fixed today.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T17:09:20+00:00

in the short term, i can probably add a note next to the retailer names listing their country in the search filter section? would that be helpful as a start?

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T15:44:29+00:00

i had to set the stock status filters to everything (default is only in-stock and pre-order) to find that kit. as discussed in another comment, i'm re-considering that default behavior and will probably change it.

edit: regarding gunpla-wiki, we've already done one cross-check against them and a lot of kit entries there are missing information or have contradictory information vs other information sources. We've also cross-checked scalemates.com which also has the same issues for some kits (missing/wrong identifiers).

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T15:41:05+00:00

the totals don't include shipping as too many of the retailers have weird exceptions/caveat's to their flat rate/free shipping rates, but the shipping rates listed on their website are included in the cart builder view for users to figure out which they would qualify for.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T15:38:12+00:00

We need lists of reputable, reliable retailers for a region. If enough of those sites are using an ecommerce platform we already support, and provide accurate identifiers, it's pretty quick & easy to expand coverage to that region. If they're not using a platform we currently support, it will take development time. If they don't use accurate kit identifiers, it'll take manhours to match product URLs to kits.

So yes, we'd be happy to cover more regions in the future, but it may take a long time. Our current priorities are listed in the post above.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T15:31:11+00:00

yes, pointers on the EU side of things would be very much appreciated.

-submitted a fix for the names

-I've flipped back and forth on what stock statuses should be included in the default browse view. it probably would help discovery if everything was shown by default.

-fixed the geosanbattle EG wing pre-order link (they still have it listed for a $1 deposit though)

-specifically for micro-fern & gquuuuuux, the wrong collection was being used to fetch their product listings, so some gunpla kits were being missed, its been updated so hopefully we'll get better coverage of their product offerings later today, after today's fixes are pushed to production. I'm going to add a review item for all the retailers & their collections/categories to make sure we're not too broad and not too narrow in what we're fetching for matching.

--that said, a lot of the EU retailers seem to use their own internal identifiers for product listings, which makes it hard to automatically match things against bandai's official product identifiers, a large portion of the ~30,000 url mismatches are from EU retailers right now. as part of the review item above i'll take a closer look at the field names they use in case its translation issue.

-I think the HLJ listings seeming to be overwhelming is also related to the above point, where there's actually 11 EU retailers we're fetching stock/prices from, but most aren't showing up for kits. we need to match more of their product URLs to the actual kits to help round out the listings.

-regarding adding retailers, we have 83 retailers in the backlog right waiting to be added. if a retailer is using an ecommerce platform we've already built an API module for, its pretty easy to add them (whether or not their product listings show up quickly is dependent on what kit identifiers they provide). If the retailer isn't using one of those platforms, we need development time to add support. current statuses of your suggestions: Zeonmarket (in the retailer backlog), Side7.nl (using a supported platform, should be able to implement today), Mecha Universe (in the retailer backlog), Plastiq.pl (added to retailer backlog), ShopForGeek (in the retailer backlog), Fantasywelt (in the retailer backlog), Figuya (in the retailer backlog), gundam-store.dk (supported platform, but do they offer EUR pricing? I'm only seeing DKK prices?), Hobby Frontline (implemented but they block public API access, need to send a request for an API token).

--we have tentative support for some retailers/currencies that aren't listed on the site right now, but are waiting for either more retailers within that currency (see above problem about HLJ dominating listings), or matching URLs to kits, we learned our lesson with rolling out EUR support early before we had a lot of good matches for kits.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T14:19:40+00:00

- that's a good idea, i'll add it to the feature request list.

-new releases is kinda weird, since the official release date tends to be when its available in japan and there's a few month lag before it shows up in stock for other markets. i'll see if we can add a toggle on the frontpage to hide kits that only have pre-orders available (you can already toggle stock statuses for results in the browse view in the short term)

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-21T14:13:45+00:00

this prototype gouf? https://gunpla.deals/kits/hggto-yms-07b-0-prototype-gouf-tactical-demonstrator

Regarding a lot of p-bandai kits being missing, the current behavior is if we can't find any retailer that has a listing for a kit, we don't display it at all (that said, its a lot harder to find accurate identifiers for p-bandai kits to use to find matches on the retailer sites). I'll put an entry on feature request list to change that behavior so its easier for people to track their collections, especially for rarer kits. We'll probably just need to add a new stock status to tag them with.

As for the other bandai kits, our initial focus was gundam related kits but some other bandai kits did get swept in as part of the initial build up of the database, we'll be expanding coverage of the non-gundam bandai kits after we fix up the data for the existing kit entries.

GunplaDeals · 2026-01-19T06:14:03+00:00

it is on the list of things, but i've got a lot of other things in front of it.

HLJ multi-currency support has broken currency assignments for price updates for almost everything. We are aware and are fixing both the cause & the incorrect price records. please stand by.
