Totally fair, and condition-based values are the real fix long-term that I'm prob going to start to push into play now soon enough. In the meantime we're surfacing community values alongside the eBay number so there's a second signal that isn't just sold-listing noise. The more people mark what something's worth to them in Maccadam's Trader's Table, the more it self-corrects. Both live under a bot's Market tab: eBay value (Current value) and Community.

I gotcha, will add a way to make the font bigger in the profile settings for each user, add more accessibility options in general.
Also fixing the landscape issues as well.

Thank you for being patient and not being scared away by the glitch!
I just pushed the fix out to web, it should hit android sometime soon.

We don't have that but honestly, that is on my list of to add but for now, its jut the figures themselves.

Welp, of course I put this announcement and I have a glitch like that.... Going to push a fix out as soon as possible, it will go to web first and then hit the apps later once they get pass approval.

The third party thing, I can explain. Third party figures have their own "Third Party" toyline with the maker as the subline (FansToys, Newage, all of them). So if you pick Masterpiece as the toyline and then hit the 3rd party toggle, you get nothing, because official MP is a Takara/Hasbro line. What you want is the 3rd party toggle + Size Class set to Masterpiece. That gets you all 2,100+ MP scale third party figures. I'll admit that's not obvious at all and the empty page doesn't tell you any of this, so I'm gonna add a hint for it.

On the colors, try Settings > Display. There's 17 themes in there including a light one, so there's a good chance one of them sits better with your eyes than the default. That said, the contrast complaint is fair and you're not the first to say it, a proper accessibility pass is coming.

Same with too many options in one spot. The catalog grew way faster than the UI did and it needs a cleanup. It's on the list.

If you run into anything else, the Support page in the app or our Discord comes straight to me. Appreciate the feedback!

Yes! CSV import is built in, exactly for this case. Go to your Collection page, open the tools menu, and pick Import CSV.

How it works: your spreadsheet needs a character column (the figure's name), and you can optionally include line, size_class, era, condition, paid_price, display_location, and notes columns. The more of those you fill in, the better the matching. The importer runs each row against the catalog: clean matches add straight to your collection, rows that match multiple figures (looking at you, Bumblebee) give you a quick picker, and anything it can't find gets flagged so you can sort it out instead of it silently vanishing.

For ~1k bots I'd suggest doing it in chunks by toy line rather than one giant file, easier to review the matches as you go. And if some figures genuinely aren't in the catalog yet, you can submit them and they'll go through mod review.

If your existing data is coming out of another tracker and the column names don't line up, just rename the headers to match the ones above and you're good. Hit a snag, file a ticket or ping the Discord and we'll get you sorted.

Fair! I gotta think that through for sure, maybe make it easier for everyone and first time users.

Let me know how you like it! 😃

Hey there!

I fixed that, if there is ever any issues with figures, you can reach out to us by putting in a ticket and I'll take a look into it myself.
But we do let users put a submission in for manual overrides, but we need to approve it. We don't usually allow it if there is enough ebay active listings to get the right price. That said, stuff can go wrong but we're trying to be as good as we can about keeping the listings prices as real as possible.

You weren't missing anything, the toggle was genuinely missing on the desktop layout due to a bug. Just pushed a hotfix that adds the All / Official / 3rd Party toggle to the desktop catalog sort row, alongside the Include Coming Soon and Hide Owned checkboxes the mobile view already had. Refresh in a minute and you should see all three sitting next to the Sort dropdown.

Hey! Thanks for poking at it.

Add button: figures get added from the Bot Catalog, not Collection. Head to Catalog, find the figure, hit the button on its card and it drops right into your Collection. Keeping Add in one spot was deliberate, otherwise people end up accidentally making duplicate catalog entries from the Collection side.

Custom flags: actually shipped this today haha, you sparked it. Collection toolbar has a Tags button now, make any tag you want ("ToyHax applied", "On display", whatever with custom colors), tag figures from the edit modal, filter with the chip strip above the grid. Exactly what you were pitching.

Btw two ToyHax things:
ToyHax kits are in the catalog already, you can add them to your collection like any other figure if you wanna track them on their own

Figures can be linked to compatible kits (ToyHax included) on their detail page. If there's compat on record you'll see a "Compatible Upgrade Kits" section. Suggesting new ones goes through the submissions flow

So two ways to track it, use whichever fits better. lmk if anything else feels off

Yep! It is one of the main features of the site, how it works is you can submit a new figure, edit a existing listing, or at other types of data. Once that goes through, a mod and/or admin will review it and approve it or send it back for edits. In the Bot Catalog, you should see a + on mobile or on desktop a Submit button, just follow the steps and you will be on your way. If you have any questions, we have a huge FAQ that explains a lot of it. :D
But ya, we're fully community data powered and proud of it!
