Very nice I like that option so much! Quick question if its made from Lego but its custom printed can we still call it Lego? Such as if its a custom Minifigure?
thanks,

Lawrence

No, you would have to come up with a brand for that. If it's custom, it's not Lego basically.

We now have our first custom set in the catalog http://brickowl.com/catalog/ichiban-toys-serenity-v2-set-it1051

Tags aren't searched in the general Catalog search box? When I type "firefly" in the search, I get no results found.

Lawrence

Thanks, our search is cached, it is refreshed hourly so odd things like this can sometimes happen

Thanks for the feature and the quick implementation! I'll need to brush up the description html. More kits will be uploaded soon.

I'll need to brush up the description html.

Oh, maybe I can't... No worries, I'll figure something out.

The notes isn't the best place for that, I will need to add a description field for items

theHellmouth

I've just added two more custom sets of my own. Missing and quite useful fields:

- link to online pictures of the custom item
- description

steelwoolghandi

Yes I added a custom item as well and a description section would be great.

Lawrence

I have now added description

Some more remarks on creating a custom item:

When you have uploaded a primary image, you can select alternate but you cannot upload another image. It then dawned on my I had to submit the whole page. But then to upload the alternate image I didn't fill in all the other fields. Which of the catalog submissions is taken at this point?

It would be nice to have multiple subsections on the page which enables the user to submit only those section changes or a submit button on the bottom of the page to submit everthing.

Lawrence

The form is intelligent, every thing you change is submitted separately, I then approve the individual pieces of information, as opposed to the whole form submission. We will work on letting you upload multiple images at once though.

theHellmouth

I'm now adding my custom set to my store ... condition seems rather strange on a custom set. Used (complete) or new (sealed)? None of the types really apply here.

Lawrence

"Other" ? Or "New Complete" if it has no box

theHellmouth

Well the lego pieces are used as I assembled the model and it is complete as shown by the image so that will do for now.

Lawrence

Oh, if it is assembled then that is used. New would be you have purchased the parts and put them in a bag to be packaged together for sale.

The description shows on the catalog page but not the actual item page inside the store i.e. http://ichibantoys.brickowl.com/store/ichiban-toys-serenity-v2-set#229930

Can the description be shown inside the store as well? Thanks.

Chris

Lawrence

Done, but I will need to add proper editing so you can put in a bit of basic HTML

Super!
