TMNT Inventory List (Beta)
 
A while back in this thread, we were discussing the possibility of integrating a TMNT inventory list into the forums so that forum members can keep track of their TMNT collections. Just wanted to let everyone know that the inventory list is now ready for a public beta release! There are still a few features that need to be added before considering this final, but it is fully working, so feel free to begin using it:

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/_inventory.php

If you need any help or notice any bugs, please post in this thread. A big thanks to papa_smurf73 for his feedback and suggestions along the way, and for providing the TMNT figure lists!



Features that will be added:
  • Checklist view
  • Sorting/filtering of list
  • Ability to edit items (for now, just delete and add again to make changes)
  • Ability to download list
  • Histogram/global stats

Features that may be added:
  • Allow guests to view lists (so that you can share the link on other sites)
  • Lightbox or popup for item images

That's amazing. Intricate, accurate, easy to use, etc. I love it. Thanks a bunch for giving us this! :)

Jester 08-08-2011 12:18 AM

Awesome idea Oh Brainy One. Is this just for action figures and comics or all Turtle memorabilia?

Ninjinister 08-08-2011 12:58 AM

This is pretty rockin'

I've found one little typographical boo-boo in that the 2009 Fugitoid release is misspelled. Don't know if it's across the board for him yet though as I've not had time to check.

Any chance of the 2010 releases getting in?

Slap-Happy 08-08-2011 01:10 AM

Hmm. When it asks for product name, the bar is so short that it doesn't show any of the options. I've just been blindly clicking on the highlighted spots for (hopefully) the right product.

If you can point me to a list of 2010 figures, I'll be happy to add it to our list. (provided the owner is ok with it)

If it has a release year and a name, it can be added. :) For now, though, it's mostly meant for figures and related toys.

Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it. A database query shows that that's the only occurrence of that spelling.

Oops, looks like IE doesn't like the way I was populating the dropdown box. Thanks, it should now be fixed.

To start adding your collection, use the "Add Inventory" link on the upper right.

could some of the "mini-mutant" sets be included, like the "Dimension-X Play Wars" as well as the vehicles and figures?

If you can locate a valid list of these, I would be happy to add them to my list (provided the owner is ok with it), so Krang can implement when he has time.

Master Splinter 08-10-2011 04:05 PM

Thanks Krang and papa_smurf73, this looks great and I can only imagine it getting better! Would love to see the ability to put comics in there, or maybe have two different inventories, one for comics and one for toys so they don't clutter each other up. Regardless, this is awesome.

The unreleased are just that - figures that were never released, ever.

I was looking for (as Canadian seems to be), the three releases that came out in January of 2010 and were the final three releases from Playmates other than repackaging the Leo Sewer Slider. These are the 25th anniversary figures listed in the link I posted (Shredder, Slash, Foot Soldier).

i think this site:

has all of the mini mutants listed as he's got every set of them

Good idea, I think that way would work out best for including comics. I can look into that once the features for the toys list have been finished up. We would just need a complete comic list and permission from the owner to use it.

drasgow 08-11-2011 02:52 AM

I agree, a comic list would be money.

I have a list already, just need to know what format you would need it in.

Great, thanks for the help! CSV would be preferred, but any plain text format would work. By the way, if you think breaking it up by volume rather than by year would work better for comics, feel free to format it that way.

Venom 11-02-2011 11:51 PM

Not sure about the status of this project, but feel free to use my comic list stickied over in the comic section:

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=32248

As far as I know, it's the most complete list available, and I have the issues divided up by volumes, etc.

Thought I'd throw a line out there. :tsmile:

Krang 11-03-2011 01:44 AM

Thanks, much appreciated! I haven't had time to work on this lately, but I haven't forgotten about it and still plan on adding the comics and other features.

Very cool Krang

pannoni1 11-04-2011 11:22 AM

I find this a good work in progress, though it would be neat if there was a way to convert your inventory list into a file for saving/printing.

Now, in terms of "condition", I find a vague "C1" to "C10" description to be a bit vague, as what "C5" may mean to 1 person is a "C6" to another and "C7" to one more. However, for those who don't know what it means, check out this link: http://actionfigures.about.com/od/bu...gure_value.htm

I'll modify it some with some extra grades based on this scale:

•C10: Mint Condition: The figure has no discoloration, paint loss, dirt or grime, has tight joints and includes all of its original accessories. If the figure is still packaged, the package itself must be in equally pristine condition without tears, creases or damage from torn-off price tags.

•C9: Near Mint Condition: The figure must be as close to original condition as possible with the allowance of any very minor issues, such a single somewhat, but only slightly loose joint or one missing accessory. Absolutely no dirt, discoloration or paint loss allowed in this grade.

•C8: Excellent Condition: A nice, very carefully used item. A single loose joint and/or one or two missing accessories. Very slgiht discoloration or paint loss is allowed in this grade, but must not be visible to the naked eye.

•C7: Very Fine Condition: The figure must be complete (no missing limbs or broken parts) but may lack some of its original accessories, have some minor wear, discoloration or paint loss, but not noticeable among first glance to the naked eye and in the secondary areas, such as on the sides and edges. However, discoloration is minor and paint loss is only found.

•C6: Fine Condition: The figure must still be complete, but may lack most of its original accessories, have some minor wear, discoloration or paint loss, plus may have two loose joints and can be slightly difficult to stand the figure up. You may often find this grade described as "played with condition".

•C5: Very Good Condition: The figure probably has none of its original accessories or damaged accessories, and shows moderate wear, including discoloration, some loose joints and paint loss. Most collectors would still consider this figure to be easily repairable.

•C4: Good Condition: The figure has none of its original accessories and clearly shows considerable wear, including noticeable discoloration, loose joints and paint loss. Figures are difficult to stand up straight in this grade. Most collectors would still consider this the lowest grade to be repairable.

•C3: Fair Condition: The figure is heavily worn, but still playable, with very loose joints, major paint loss and high discoloration. A figure in this condition may also show some minor breaks/cracks, such as the thumbs being broken off. Standing up the figures straight is almost impossible in the grade and lower. Most collectors tend to leave figures in this condition alone. If this item is common, pass it up; but if rare, get it cheap and look to upgrade.

•C2: Poor Condition: The figure is in bad shape, with very loose, brittle joints, major paint loss and extreme discoloration to the point that it makes you want to cry. Some joints may be taped/glued improperly. What separates this from the lowest grade is that all pieces of the main figure are visibile. Unless exceptionally rare, these are generally considered bargain bin junk.

•C1: Very Poor Condition: The figure is an absolute mess, with limbs broken off, major paint loss, bite marks from dogs, burn marks from firecrackers, you name it. A figure in this condition is generally considered trash.

From what I find, your average loose figures from the early years (1988-1992) on eBay tend to be around a C5, with lots of C4's and C6's common. Those from 1993 onwards tend to average around a C6.

I hope this grading system helps, and perhaps I'll post some media describing the different grades.

Is there a complete list Excel sheet, Word doc, or PDF available for all years as a complete list that I might be able to get from someone? I would like to check it versus my Excel sheet.

I realize this is a WIP, but for the Variant tab, will there be a selection of know variations for certain figures.
For the '88 Turtles, which would be the variant? Soft head or hard head, blue stripe April, or no stripe?
Also a selection for what colored weapons when they went nuts with 2, or 3 different colors for the accessories?:teek:
Will the "edit" button allow us to edit, rather than delete, and re-enter the listing?
Will be able to sort the list by product date or name?

savagejon123 07-03-2012 12:37 AM

I created an excel spread based off tmntmuseum. Its nice having the visuals too so I can know what im still hunting for. Took a while to make thats why I stopped at about 2005. Im not super interested in anything past 1997 anyways.

Weirdo-Warrior 08-28-2012 02:34 PM

I think there should be the possibility to list the year in which the item was purchased without needing the exact month and day. I mean, I can't remember in which day of which month I purchased my TMNT when I was a kid :tlol:

I perfectly remember the year, though, because I noted it down on a notebook back in the days.

I think it would be neat if the inventory system would create a histogram of each type of figure that people have. I frequently see people asking about how rare a certain figure is, and with a bunch of collectors i think we would have a pretty big sample size. With this information we can estimate production numbers more accurately and estimate which figures are actually rarer than others with a decent level of confidence.

In that case, you're welcome to estimate, or just use January 1. :)

Great idea! It would be more accurate if more people use this system, though, so please help spread the word.
