Hello!    It appears like he's added five new RoboRider wheel entries this year: 32350, 32355, 32357, 32359 and 32361. That is fair as those are technically different enough from the typical patterned pieces to merit their own catalog entries. However, there are four more pieces like those that have been confirmed to exist that don't appear to have their own entries as of yet: 32351, 32358, 32360 and 32363. I have submitted "add" requests for each one with detailed information as to why; I can also provide photos if necessary. I'm really hoping my requests don't remain ignored for long. The five that were added this year were added to fix some data management issues with having them located with the patterned versions of the wheels, and the only reason those five were specifically added is because they already had images in the catalog. I am definitely willing to add others if there is evidence that they exist and an image is uploaded for them. Since none of the current pending wheels that you have submitted have pending images, they will not be added until they do have them. Having said that, please do not take images from other websites to upload here.    Additionally, I highly recommend making unpatterned entries for all sixteen RoboRider wheels as we really don't know for sure if there aren't any metallic gold pieces outside of the nine that have been seen by fans in the past several years. The only entries that will be added are those that are known to exist and have an image. No others will be added.    Hunting these obscure pieces down is already hard enough without catalog entry inaccuracies and duplicates. I had a really neat wanted list assembled for various kinds of rare colors only to realize last month that all of them had been massively jumbled up since July. I'm ready to provide as much additional help as necessary to sort this out as it really is no help to anyone as is, myself included. Thanks and have a great New Year's Eve, everyone! You as well!    Best, Illuminatus Cheers, Randy
