@Dennis gitlin I wholeheartedly agree. This is something that will be addressed in one large sweep by our developers, but in the meantime I'll look into these because that seems off. There have been a few glitches lately and this may be related.
Yeah for sure

@Dennis gitlin I'm really happy with the expanding presence of these sets on the Registry. I've seen a good share of very active collectors join up recently and it's great. Looking forward to the Awards cycle where these sets will be recognized in their own category for the first time.
That’s awesome!! I’ve been researching and collecting foreign editions for about 5 years now, it’s whole different animal as far as collecting goes

@Dennis gitlin If the sets currently in place are focused on the covers only, I think those should be treated as Cover Sets. I can build a new Competitive set that includes the books with the covers as well as the actual story material. Once the new set and slot request form goes live, you can send over the certs for the books you're referring to and I can get something built for you.
Awesome! If you guys need any help with foreigns going forward let me know!

@Dennis gitlin The books that correspond to the Foreign title slots have been corrected in our database. They were incorrectly named, as you pointed out. They've all been re-named to Secret Wars 8 with the respective, correct country applied under the Edition. Your labels reflect this correction. Those books can be added to the highlighted slots that are in the set. So the books themselves are not being removed from the set; they of course have a place. Only the incorrectly named, duplicate slots will be removed.
Ah gotcha, how about books that don’t have the cover but contain the story how will those be handled?

@Dennis gitlin What I'm trying to explain is that the slots in that set that are labeled with their Foreign title are all duplicates. They've been re-labeled in our database under Secret Wars 8 with the country for the editions, as the labels you have show. So these are duplicates.
Duplicates only by label, they’re still unique books, there’s gotta be a better way to sort this without removing “duplicates”
-
Also another question for foreign sets, are we including covers only? For example I have 2 countries that contain asm 300 with a completely different cover

@Dennis gitlin I was hoping you did own these. I was going to ask for some pictures so that I can cross reference against what we have, and you've already provided some; thank you.
I spoke with the team in charge of Foreign books this morning, and they confirmed that since 2021, they began to give all Foreign books the English title with the country as the edition to reference where it actually originated from, along with the publisher. They let me know that prior to this conversion project, many books were incorrectly classified as being from Finland and this was due to Finland being a major publisher of many comics for the European market.
They said that they've converted the bulk of Foreign books over, and no Secret Wars 8 should be listed under any Foreign title, so the ones you've referenced can be removed because they now exist under the English title, and so are duplicates.
As the cleanup progresses, I'll be looking carefully into other Foreign sets built prior to my coming onto the Registry as I suspect there will be more situations like this.
How can you remove a foreign book from a foreign set? Even though it’s under the American title it’s still a foreign book with the foreign title underneath the American

This set was built before me and foreign books have also gone through changes in our database as we received more. I'm guessing this set was built at the beginning when the information was not as accurate.
These books are all listed as Finnish in our database, and that is what I've based the slot titles on as that is what the information returned. I can ask the data team to investigate.
Do you own the books in question?
I own them just not all are graded,but here’s the Norwegian edderkoppen 4 and kongular madurin pics, I actually have the whole set

@Dennis gitlin The Canadian Price Variant was never removed and remains in the set. I did organize it though so it's easier to see. The person who built that set must have done so before we'd got a lot of those books in and before most were re-labeled in our system under the English title. I added some that were missing to it and removed a couple that are not Secret Wars 8.
Ah I see it now!

@Dennis gitlin I only removed the US books. I haven't removed any Canadian Price Variants from those sets.
There was a cpv in the secret wars set
-
I saw that, but you removed all but one Canadian price variant from those sets only kept it in the 252, I feel it should be in there

@Dennis gitlin The cleanup is still in process and will be ongoing for several months, but let me know what sets you're referring to and I'll look into it. Do you mean there are still Foreign Editions in US sets?
The opposite, asm 129,252,300 secret wars 8 foreign sets all have the American book in there

There are still American books in foreign sets
