I have to be a bit of a nerd about capitalization. Even though it's the title of an article, common nouns like "fiction" and "scale" are not capitalized within a sentence. Only proper nouns are capitalized, like names, places, and organizations. This includes words in article titles and section headings. For example, an article title would be "Size changing", not "Size Changing". And if it's not at the beginning of a sentence, it's just "size changing". Just a nit-pick on my part. Thanks! :) --Crockalley 14:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool, no probs. I'll try to do better in future. Thanks, PacifistPrime

Image uploads

Hi, in the future, when you upload images, can you include info about what it is, where it came from, who made it and possibly who owns it if possible? Also, fairuse tags have {{ }} surrounding them so the script appears. Same goes for hastak, which is used when the picture belongs to Hasbro or Takara (such as stock photos of toys, packaging art), and comicinterior, used for comic scans.

'Safeword'

Even though the caption has been changed now, I should point out that it is rather uncool in my opinion to wiki link the meaning of safeword, given how sexual it is in nature. While this isn't exactly a family-friendly wiki, younger fans and kids do sometimes visit, so please keep this in mind. Thanks. --FFN 14:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I actually didn't change it - some other dude did. As for unilaterally changing captions, it happens all the time, even if you wrote most of the article and uploaded most of the pics yourself. I don't mind myself as I leave captions blank in my pics for others to fill in. Anyway, I didn't mind your caption, I took exception to linking it to the meaning, and in my opinion, if a joke is going to go over somebody's head (in this case the meaning of the term), let it :) --FFN 10:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, you're probably right about that. I'll change it back without the link. Cheers, PacifistPrime.

MP Megatron

Figures Direct (an aussie toy shop) has said that the police and customs have advised them that customs will be on the lookout for Megatron and will most likely seize the toys. Sellers need to apply for a firearms replica license or something to get them in. This was also confirmed by a mate of mine who runs Transfigure Toys. So I'm concerned about how customs react to individuals getting them from Asia. --FFN 11:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, what can I say? I got mine (two of them, in fact: one for my buddy) from HobbyLinkJapan (scum) with no troubles. Customs didn't even open it. Maybe I was just lucky, but I suspect that those toyshops only got that response from the fuzz because they asked in the first place. In fact, they may very well have tipped them off and made it harder for everyone else to import them now. Who knows? Cheers, PacifistPrime.
Well, I got mine, and I live in the US. No modification. So it seems we're even. Are there any actual difficulties in getting the toy into the US, or are all these difficulties merely perceived? --Crockalley 14:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
