Category talk:Mail order exclusives
From MediaWiki
Okay. I've been thinking about this category. I think this should be a sub-category not just to "Exclusives", but to a new category "Category:Mail order items", which would include every toy that was offered via mail order, including the normal retail guys like Thundercracker and Ratchet and etc. There's quite a lot of those. Discuss. --M Sipher 08:31, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. --Steve-o 16:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- How strictly would we have to define this, though? It could be argued that the modern equivilant of mail-order is internet-order, and practically everything falls into that category through HTS. --Sntint 16:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- A fair point. But I'd say that we cut it to stuff that's "special offers" and NOT simply "available online". I mean, Thundercracker et all were only made mail-order after their toys were supposed to be no longer shipping, and they were specially advertised via little fliers in the toy packages. Japanese toy mag guys would fit too. --M Sipher 21:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- "Special Offers" would be a good thing to *call* the category, really. --Sntint 22:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
