Dragon Hoard

UCForums Unveils Newest Feature!

The admins of UCForums are very excited to announce and open our newest feature of our site:

The UC Forums Dragon Hoard

What is the Dragon Hoard? It's your chance to create a database of your collection! You can also view the collections of other users. Use of the Dragon Hoard also enables Collection Signatures again! You'll notice the admins are sporting these new signature areas. As soon as you start building your collection within Dragon Hoard, you can start showing off your own hoard!

*Right now, Dragon Hoard only has United Cutlery Lord of the Rings/Hobbit items. In the future, we'll be including other companies such as Noble Collection, Weta, and even those of our own local smiths!

*Dragon Hoard is in beta. This means that while it's fully functional, you may stumble across a bug here and there. We encourage you to report any bugs here!

*Being in beta means that there are plenty of new features to come in the future! Feel free to make suggestions/requests.

We hope everyone enjoys Dragon Hoard and we look forward to building it up with your help!

A cool little feature, but I can't access it. Every time I try it asks me to sign in, which I do then I'm returned to the index. If I try again, the same happens. I'm using Chrome if that info is needed :)

A very cool and well done addition. Huzzah for the return of the collection list option for signatures! It worked very well for me and I was done in a flash. I'm looking forward to the addition of other collectibles to the database options. Congrats, guys!

One question... I only see one version of the Gondorian Shield listed. Was that intentional?

Re: Dragon Hoard

Thank you! :)

No, the omission is not intentional, we're just using you guys to find out what we missed, and there you have it. In fact, the recent UC re-issues seem to have been passed over. Just this morning the newer Sauron Helm was added to the list, but that leaves the second Gondorian Shield and Sauron Gauntlet to be put in. Also, if you guys can tell us the edition sizes, that will make things faster. :thumbs_up

Accolades go to our resident code-monkey, GW, with some input and suggestions from the rest of us. 8-)

P.S. - Yes, we are aware that those of you with moving .gif images for avatars, such as Mag and Arwyniel, are not displaying correctly at the moment.

Well, I thought I was missing something somewhere on how to do this. I randomly clicked on someones signature and it lead me to the Horde and was very easy from then on. Great idea and a lot easier than typing it all out. :thumbs_up Looking forward to the Weta selection.

Re: Dragon Hoard

12
Tiny question... for those of us with text in our signatures, the collection list butts right up against the text. Would it be possible to add some space immediately above the collection list box?

Glad everyone has been enjoying Dragon Hoard! We're itching to get other companies and a few other more interesting (we think, anyway...) features to it! We've decided to keep it simple for launch though, so as to root out any fundamental bugs.

What's really good about Dragon Hoard, is that we built it from the ground up. So there are no rules to how it works on its own; we can do whatever we want. How it plays with phpBB (our forum software) is a little more restricted, but I'm not opposed to hacking where we need to. :)

*Signatures - Feel free to make any suggestions as to how you'd like the signatures to appear. I can absolutely add some space in there between your standard signature and the Collection Signature.

*Missing/Incorrect Items - Definitely let us know about any inaccuracies you see. Unfortunately, companies are not forthcoming with easy-to-import data for their products, so we're limited by what we have access to/can hunt down. The current list grew from the UC Checklist posted on this forum, in fact, so it was fairly easy to create from there.

*Miniature UC - I can absolutely add these in! I don't know why they slipped my mind, given that I've been hunting them myself lately!

*New Companies - As I said above, getting all of the items from companies into our database is tricky. But that's where you guys can come in! The more help we get from members, the better. All we need is a good spreadsheet of product information (Model numbers, Names, release date/time, etc.) and we can rip that into our database!

First , kudos to you GW and any behind the scenes wizardry assistance you may have had in adding the Dragon Hoard feature :bowing:

So, I think it was you who said that our listings from the old "My Collection" are still [somehow?] available to you?
Can you still [again somehow?] get one's listing and send it to them?

There were quite bit of other manufacturers' names in mine, and I'd like to suggest some names to you, I mean other than Thrandy [aka War Horse Armory], N2, John Lowe and Indyprops (some of the few I can specifically recall).
Can do?... or No can do?

Good idea, Deimos. Hopefully GW will be able to retrieve that info as it should be stored in the database when we ported everything over from vBulletin.

DeMiguel, Kyle, and Esaga, are three names that popped into my mind right away when you mentioned other craftsmen.

Now I'm just spit-balling here- but I was wondering if it would be at all possible to be able to see everyone who has a certain item.

For instance- if I wanted to see who all had the Shards of Narsil and what numbers they had- it would be neat to be able to click on that item and see a list of everyone that has it.

Just a thought.

Bingo on the first two, Val...I was racking my brain for Kyle's, and I completely forgot about DeMiguel.
(I don't think I own anything by Esaga.)

Nick, that's a feature we've discussed, but more likely to appear (if and when it does) in the actual Dragon Hoard collection page rather than the signature, although anything is possible. We are limited only by what the software tells us we can't do.

Re: Dragon Hoard

I believe we do still have everyone's collection info from the prior version of UCForums. I'll double check this weekend, watch this thread for updates.

The next batch of updates to Dragon Hoard will include a suggestion form so folks can official put in to have some of the smaller companies added. This will also facilitate letting us know about missing/incorrect items.

Nick, you've hit the nail on the head as to why we wanted to take the Collections of our forums to the next level with DH. Doing it the way allows us to say: "Hey, on UC Forums, here are the Shards that live here. Here are the Museum Stings. Here are the Witchking Helms."

We can say "Of the users on our forums, 70% own Anduril." Or "Out of the 30 users on UCForums, no one owns item X!"

There are a whole host of other features we'd like to build into the system that makes it more than just a means of signature generation. Keep making suggestions, though, because this is a tool we want to build around what everyone here wants!

Re: Dragon Hoard

Thanks! Just added the Noble stuff to our running spreadsheet for the next company uploads.

Some companies will be easier than others. Weta, for example, has the history of their items on their site. Getting a good database of their stuff will be very easy. Noble, on the other hand, only has a storefront. So getting all of their stuff into the database without missing historical items will be harder.

The more help folks can give, the better, though! If you think you might have access to a list somewhere that's publicly available, do let us know!

We can't say for sure when more companies will be added, but the (so far...) successful roll-out of version 1 is very promising!

Re: Dragon Hoard

25
Adding another Weta weapon: Balin's Mace

I'll pull a list of some of my items from an Excel sheet I keep for inventory and insurance purposes. That info may help somewhere along the process. I'll post that shortly.

Re: Dragon Hoard

26
I've only just caught up with this thread. Great idea and thank you for all your work on it.

That Noble list I did is complete I believe. (Apart from the Eowyn Necklace and earring set that seems to have been missed by N2D). I spent a good bit of time in the Wayback machine getting the old screen shots. However, if someone knows of a missing item, I would love to hear of it.

Re: Dragon Hoard

27
First . . . yes, I'm a geek and have my collectibles in a spreadsheet. :thumbs_up Two . . . when I write it all out it's pretty clear why my collection has taken over my entire townhouse. Third . . . there are a few pre-order items in this list. And fourth . . . since there was some talk of including the Sideshow/Weta mini-helms I left my modest number of polystone in the list. Finally . . . I have everything set up by franchise rather than purely by maker, so items from the same maker often appear in two places.

Re: Dragon Hoard

Thanks, Arwyniel. I'll add those numbers to my spreadsheet. :thumbs_up I'm a bit OCD about tracking my collections. I have a similar spreadsheet for my extensive Hercules and (mostly) Xena trading card collection. Next, I need to start logging my growing geocoin collection. The scary thing about it is that I can instantly see just how much I have invested in my collections. Eek.

GW, big thanks for creating the database. It's already terrific and will be absolutely phenomenal by the time you've finished working your magic on it!

And darn, I see I neglected to add my Light of Earendil. The list has been duly updated. Now I have to revisit it to make sure nothing else is missing...

A few Noble items seem to be missing from the list. Please add

Hadhafang Letter Opener

Necklace and Earings of Eowyn

The Hobbit
The Headress of Elrond

Re: Dragon Hoard

32
My comment is slightly off-topic but thanks for posting that list, Buckeye, as it reminds me I need to be more organized with my own collection for insurance purposes. All I have currently are photos of every item, plus a list in a Word doc, and the replacement value of the item (not what I paid for it.) Insurance for collections is not very common, and I pay a premium for replacement value, One can never be too safe, and yes, looking at the list is a sobering way of realizing just how much we've spent on this stuff. :O xP

Some of us have his Ring of Barahir, The One Ring, and Vilya
Also add Stansborough for the Elven cloaks , (regular and Hobbit[aka child] size) and also and Gandalf's scarf

LOTR -- Medioevo -- Vilya
LOTR -- Medioevo -- Narya

That's all I can think of right now.

An interesting idea but I personally hesitate to implement it, though I do not speak for the other admins. The reason is the moment you start attaching dollar values to lists like this, you run the risk of having it be misinterpreted as prices for a retail or resale site, which we are not. I like the idea of a total collection value, but I admit that without listing individual values, it looks like you could just make up any number. :huh:

N2, you are one of my most-est favorite-est people on the forums, and not just because you make us awesome custom collectibles, but because you are a very, very nice guy.....so please don't take offense at what I am going to say:

Speaking for myself, I would probably not put prices on any items of my collection because it would [aradoxically] cheapen them in my eyes.
They would become merely a commodity.
Every item in my collection, down to the smallest SP ha'penny, represents Middle Earth, its history, peoples (races) and most especially all the great individual characters in all of Tolkien's stories.
And I want to keep seeing Tolkien's world when I look at anything and everything in my collection.
If I had prices attached to that, I'd be afraid of losing that vision forever.

Let me step in here to say that Dragon Hoard serves two, very separate, purposes:

1. Public - Allows you to put your collection out there for the world to see. It generates your signature automatically (this will be customizable in future) and everyone on the forums and anyone viewing posts as a guest can see your collection.

2. Private - Allows you to keep track of your collection for your own personal uses. Once we add more companies/items, everyone's collection will become so enormous that it's no longer feasible to have the ENTIRE thing as a signature. People can then go to your collection page in DH to see the whole thing, but it's still a step removed.

Right now, everything is public. We're in beta and I want folks to give their feedback on what it does that's basic before we get more advanced. In the future, though, I fully expect to add features that only you personally will be able to use for your collection. Location of the item, the day/timeperiod you purchased it in, the condition, purchase price, etc. Basically, any data you folks would want to keep track of. Exporting your entire collection to a spreadsheet. But ALL of that is entirely PRIVATE. You don't have to use it and no one else will be able to see it. These things are a ways down the road, but they're on the horizon for people who might want to make use of it.

As I said before, Dragon Hoard was built from the ground up, so the only limit to what it can do is what you folks suggest. Nothing is out-of-bounds.

No offence what so ever, as everyone is entitled to there own opinion.

As for the price paid being private, that would be something I would want just from a entire collection point of view and able to see it all in one spot as reference.

I did some updating of my collection and there is a spot to add notes for modifications and edition numbers. It would be cool to be able to attach photos there as well. Not sure how much space that would take up or not. It would just be an opportunity to take a photo of the modification (or be it blemish) as well as the edition number as proof.

Anyway, this is a very great idea and can't wait to see what further ideas you decide to implement.

Just chiming in with my thoughts here. I absolutely love this. Makes it much easier to keep track of what is out there. I attempted to put the list for just UC items together to help folks way back when... and this is leaps and bounds above that.

I did have a thought though. Does Kit or anyone else have estimated run numbers for the non-LE UC items? I know that info may be hard to come by, but I was thinking it may be helpful for collectors trying to decide on what to pick up next if one thing is readily available now that may be running low on supply soon.

Also, I'm going to go digging for the banner info, I remember reading it long ago as well.

EDIT: Val, are these the banners/flags you were thinking of?

Yep, Draven, dem's the ones. :thumbs_up

A small note on the run numbers of non-LE items: Kit mentioned very recently that they basically keep producing stuff until the sales numbers no longer justify the production costs. I'm not sure he would have access to those numbers, especially with a lot of records from the old, pre-bankruptvy UC probably no longer available. However, never hurts to ask. :huh:

Just to update folks, I've been very busy with other work since the launch of Dragon Hoard, but come May I'm expecting to have a bit more spare time that I can devote to working on this. Expect to see things showing up starting in the first week or two of May, and hopefully by the end of the month we'll start having new companies and items! We'll be streamlining adding new companies/items so that there won't be too much time between requests and items being added!

GW, could you please add the more recent issue of the Second Age Gondorian Shield and Banner to the collection inventory choices? Edition size = 1500.

Also, any news on when other collectibles might be added (Weta, NC, etc.)?

Thanks!

I've been working all month long on brand new features and ways to streamline item addition. I expect to have the new version up sometime in the next two weeks.

This update will include many things, among which is the addition of new companies and items. It'll be a work in progress as it's difficult to know every item a company has released, so we'll definitely need help with identifying missing items and incorrect items. There will be a contact form on DH to report these!
