I also have another question for you guys. For figures in the retro line and other assortments, do you want wave #s included? For example, the WM retro line, the Target Cobra Island line and others had waves that were a different wave number obviously. Would you guys want that info just left blank? Or should I include that wave info for those figures too. So for example, the very first WM exclusive Retro wave was Baroness and Lady Jaye. Would you want those figures to say "Wave 1"? Or "WM Wave 1"? Another example would be the Target Cobra Island exclusives, Beach Head would be "CI Wave 1". Or for the current Retro line, Retro Stalker would be "Retro Wave 2". Thoughts? Personally, since those are more limited I don't think they need it necessarily. Maybe the current ongoing Retro line might though. Like I said, that info is still present in the detailed write-up for the poll, so it's there if someone wants to see it. Just not on the main list.

Assuming I can include all that info with the thread/forum limitations. Each post only allows so many characters (I think it's 2500 or 3000?) Once it goes over, it won't let you save or make the edit. There's a chance with all the added info it may not work without me having to divide the list up and do 20 figures per post instead of how it is currently divided into 25 characters per post. Which is doable. I would just have to do a little more editing and re-shuffle some posts in order to accommodate that change.

Unrelated to Wave #s, do you guys think the Hasbro product numbers is info anyone wants or should be on here? Was thinking I could add that if people wanted, but not if people don't really want it. The original MSRP is also info some people like. But not sure it's needed on here either. Sometimes less is more and don't want to clutter it up too much if people don't like or want that info.

Thanks for the help and feedback and advice again guys!

I can understand sauerkraut maybe. But pickles? lol I wonder if some people don't realize raisins are just dried up grapes and prunes are just dried up plums.

Retros are kind of their own thing, regardless of where they're sold. Hasbro didn't re-invent the packaging or completely overhaul the figure designs when they became non-exclusive, so any Retro Cardback is part of the same line IMO.
You could get away with Retro Wave 01, RW 02, or RCB Wave 03, etc., without having to specify which stores sold them.

There are enough exclusives that this could become more of an agitation than enjoyment for you, DB.
As for the inclusion of Hasbro #'s, there comes a point when those people will have to make their own lists.
Unless you have plans to publish your compendium of stats and factoids; in which case, you're going to need more pickles.
*If* you've convinced yourself you want to do it that way, you might be able to add a Target symbol or Walmart icon but that will take up more characters, as you mentioned.

I guess I'll leave the list as-is for now and if enough people suggest they want those additional bits of info, I'll gladly add them.

I won't add the exclusive waves for now, but here is what I had in mind if I end up adding them:

CI (Cobra Island)
WM Ret (WalMart Retro)
T TF/PP (Target Tiger Force/Python Patrol)
WM NF (WalMart Night Force)
Ret (Mainline Retro)

Was also considering adding to non-wave figures the following info:

HL (HasLab exclusive)
SDCC (San Diego Comic Con Exclusive)
PCE (Pulse Con Exclusive)
1027 (10/27 Event Exclusive)
FCE (Fan Channel Exclusive)
AMZE (Amazon Exclusive)
PLSE (Pulse Exclusive)

Again, not sure I will even add all this info since the list is more about the rankings. But I will add more if people request it and want it and assuming I can make it work with the character limits per post.

Meanwhile, you'll be charting piece-by-piece commonalities, predicting frequency of re-use, cracking paint shading codes, gauging sculpt expressions and hairstyles, deciphering sculpted hand gestures, registering weapons, determining who has the heavier backpack...

The battle will never end.
Were Mad Marauders exclusive? I never sought them out.

[DarthBrett]

Hahaha Hey! Don't give me any ideas! jk
(bonus points for using a Mulder gif. Loved the X-Files!)

Regarding the Mad Marauders, Barbecue was a main wave figure, the Low-Light and Spirit 2-pack was a Pulse exclusive and the Sarge was a fan channel exclusive.
