Wink) there's no way for a list to know something has changed inside itself. Also once I insert a new wave, you'll see that it inherits the collapse-state of the wave it was inserted before, and everything after it will shift over one. You'll see what I mean when we get a little more info about 2017/1 and I get around to adding it.

Auto-collapsing is a neat idea, but I also worry about irritating people with it. "I just checked the last engine in that wave and instead of being able to sit back and enjoy all the checkmarks, they all disappeared!" Smile Actually the way I originally envisioned the collapsible tables was as a way for new collectors to hide all the 2015 waves so the stuff they find in stores would be up at the top for them.

Actually the new 3-digit numbers in 2017/1 are kind of a problem, since I made some assumptions about codes always having exactly 2 digits. I think I've got a solution but it means extra testing to make sure I don't break anything or slow down the page load time, so that's what I'll be concentrating on for a little while.

Here is another thought (again, please don't think I expect you to make all these changes, please consider it brain storming, just tossing some ideas out there Heart), how about making the Wave/Collection number conditional color, if they are (XX/XX) complete they can stay black but if they are anything else (XX/XZ) they can turn Red? This way, if you add something to an already collapsed wave/category (although you won't be adding anything to waves usually, but this would mostly apply to unnumbered, special, etc.. like if they release some Power Rangers first, then others later, etc..) and collector already collapsed it, they can easily spot something changed and expand the collection to see what was added (obviously the one without a checkmark) Big Grin. Would this work?

Instead of auto collapsing on complete, maybe it can have a toggle at bottom "Collapse all completed waves/releases" so if the set is marked complete (all checkmark) it can collapse or expand, but I don't think this is too important, I only thought about this because I am keeping my completed waves collapsed, but when a new pack is released (like 30-pack).. I have to go back and expand them all one by one to easily highlight & mark the duplicates on my hardcopy.

I thought about something else just earlier, about the duplicates.
How about adding a 2nd checkmark to all engines (or have an option, again at the bottom, saying Allow Duplicates). Bu adding 2nd checkmark, we can mark which ones we have duplicates (regardless of how many) and this would help tremendously with trading. As long as there is another one (or 5 more) in our collection of the same engine, we can have 2 checkmarks. This might be a nightmare, but I thought it would be easier than notes/numbers/etc.

Sorry, I uploaded wrong one, can a Mod remove above picture (I don't want to clutter) since I can't edit here.
