So, anyone got any thoughts on this before I take it live? Jalaguy (talk) 16:44, 21 September 2014 (EDT)

I think it's perfect. And it should probably be applied on any other page that lists it by faction instead of wave. Escargon (talk) 16:47, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Well, pre-BW toylines mostly shipped in faction-specific cases with no revisions within a year. I might have a play around and see if there's anything that could be done, though. Jalaguy (talk) 17:05, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
This may be just me, but I'd kinda prefer that all the Transmetals, Fuzors, Transmetal 2s, Fox Kids non-TMs, Fox Kids Transmetals, and Mutants all be organized into their own separate groupings. This isn't a demand, but a suggestion. --Sabrblade (talk) 17:07, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Do you mean for, say, 1998:

Fuzors

Basic
Deluxe

Transmetals

Deluxe
Mega
Ultra
Super
I'd be okay with it for that year, since everything's in separate assortments with "Fuzors" and "Transmetals" logos, but I wouldn't really want to separate stuff that was in the same case assortments. Makes dealing with waves kind of awkward, and in the case of the Fox Kids stuff, there's no difference in packaging between the '99 TMs and non-TMs. Jalaguy (talk) 17:26, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Hmm, maybe at least keeping the Fox Kids TMs and non-TMs together as one "Fox Kids" group would be fine. I guess what mostly inspired my like of keeping the groups separate was how they were organized on beastwars.com back in the day. --Sabrblade (talk) 17:35, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Changed up the organization a bit, and made use of some pricepoint names from that checklist. The sublines are clearly labeled now, and I moved the Fox Kids 'Classics' out from the middle of the TM2s. Jalaguy (talk) 18:02, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Here is another official Hasbro checklist that uses some slightly different pricepoint names (namely the lack of the word "Beast"). --Sabrblade (talk) 18:27, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
Hmm. Given that the case assortment info I used also had the 'Beasts', and the BW.com checklist is more contemporary, I'm leaning towards keeping it. I'll add those BJ's two-packs too. Do we know if that list's assertion that the VHS packs were TRU-exclusive is accurate? Jalaguy (talk) 18:37, 21 September 2014 (EDT)
