When looking for a disk (either from Throwbots or Bionicle), one will see
that they are all labeled as "disk." Examples:
 
Part No: 32171pb026  Name: Throwing Disk with Throwbot Scuba / Slizer Sub 3 Pips, LEGO Technic Logo, and Robot Throwing Disk Pattern
* 
32171pb026 Throwing Disk with Throwbot Scuba / Slizer Sub 3 Pips, LEGO Technic Logo, and Robot Throwing Disk Pattern
Parts: Throwing Disk {Yellow}
[P=32533pb132,46]

However, when looking for a device to LAUNCH said discs, we see all parts labeled
as "Disk" launcher, thrower, etc.
 
Part No: 40507  Name: Bionicle Tohunga Bamboo Disk Thrower Arm (4 Spines on Curve)
* 
40507 Bionicle Tohunga Bamboo Disk Thrower Arm (4 Spines on Curve)
Parts: BIONICLE {Tan}
 
Part No: 47304  Name: Bionicle Kanoka Disk Launcher (Matoran)
* 
47304 Bionicle Kanoka Disk Launcher (Matoran)
Parts: BIONICLE {Flat Silver}

Additionally, I think the word "Kanoka" (the proper term for the disk, and commonly
used throughout Bionicle set descriptions) should be added to all Bionicle parts
like: [P=32533pb125,46]

Thoughts?

I have recently attempted to make orders from Russia, only for Paypal's security
system to block the transactions. Is anyone else running into this issue? Has
anyone in the USA been able to buy from Russia recently?

Thanks,

I see the option to use Courier API as the shipping rates for auto-checkout.
Does this calculate shipping based on zipcodes, or is it just a straight table.

Also, has this not been updated for a while? These prices seem out of date (you
can't ship a package first class for $3 anymore).

Preface: I know this is unlikely to be implemented for a long time, but I feel
it is beneficial to get this out for public viewing.

I believe it would be beneficial for all if, during listing, sellers had two
extra fields to choose from (just like the new/used field, and sealed/complete/incomplete
field).
These would be :
Includes box? [Yes|No]
Includes instructions? [Yes|No]

This has two benefits: It removes any ambiguity from listings. Instead of having
to list if the instructions are in a set or not, that information is already
there (and filterable, like you can already filter out incomplete sets).

Second, this will improve auto-checkout. If the box is not included with a set,
the weight of the box can be subtracted from the already known weight of the
set, giving buyers a more accurate quote. Same with instructions.

Please feel free to add any comments or improvements below! I would love to hear
your input!

Is there any way for me to view the weight/dimensions of a set from its catalog
entry in Imperial units (pounds/inches- ghastly, I know, but I live in America)?
I commonly use this when quoting shipping for a buyer so I don't have to
dig out a set every time someone asks, but it is always a little bit of hassle
to convert grams to pounds and cm to inches.
