FAQ

• I see an error. Can I change this?
  No, users do not have update permissions in the database, but I would be happy to receive an email with errors/corrections, or if you have additional information or pictures.
  


• Iīd like to have a database as well. Are you going to help me?
  Yes and no. I can give you some advice, but you have to build it yourself.
  


• What does "class" mean?
  For example for Minichamps models:
  Minichamps class 1: These are all original Minichamps models, of which the car and box must be the same as when they left the factory. 
  Minichamps class 2: These are all Minichamps models of which the car is original and the insert added later, not in the factory. 
  Minichamps class 3: These are all cars that are being sold as Minichamps cars, but only for ripping off people, or by collectors rebuilt cars for their own hobby. Inconsistently this fakes section does not consist solely of 1:43 scaled cars. 
  Minichamps class 4: These are all original Minichamps models, but in the factory has gone something wrong with it. If there exist more wrong ones of the same type, then it is a version under class 1. 
  


• What do I get when I deselect "Versions"?
  You will get only one version. Each version is numbered starting with 1, then 2, 3, 4... When deselecting "Versions" you will only see the number 1 version.
  


• What is "Status"?
  This is an indicator if the box has already been released ("R") or not ("N"). If it has been released, no release date will be given.
  


• Why is "Value" not filled in? 
  This has been added to the database for future purposes.
  


• Why did you remove the "Whatīs new" button?
  It was too much work to update both the database and this section. Now you will see the date of last update only.
  


• Which fields are used for the global search?
  Only fields that are not already in the selection options in the part above the global search:
  box.Box_Catalog_Number
  box.Box_Brand
  box.Box_Edition_Number
  box.Box_Additional_Info
  car.Car_Startnumber
  car.Car_Chassis
  car.Car_Additional_Info
  


• Are the models for sale?
  No, itīs only meant as a reference for collectors. Only the models in the "for sale" section can be bought.
