whilst on the subject of abbreviations, what does 'bump' mean.?

 

[itfciain]

If you want people to read a thread then it needs to be top of the list. Most people tend to move sales threads up with a 'bump' !

Good idea having these abbreviations.

Though this is not an abbreviation can someone tell me what a beater is? I've seen that word used a number of times.. It's either an abused star wars toy or something to do with adult films...

Yep the footer is the cardboard under the figures legs, SKU is a code which identifies a part of a product (serial codes etc), some early figures have numbers or letters printed on them.

This is a good example on a 12 back Stormy:



As far as I am aware the SKU footers indicate a much earlier release, there are also different coloured footers that indicate where they were packaged (think a white footer indicates Taiwan from memory)
