Sorry to be a pest but...
« on: February 10, 2013, 08:07:02 PM »
Is there a list someplace of what some of the abbreviation you guys are using stand for?  I get CAM, but some of the others no clue. 

Thank you for putting up with this newbie MH Mom.

You're not being a pest, you're being more like an awesome mom whose taken interest in her daughter's hobby!!

Most abbreviations I see used are just some of the release lines abbreviated so we don't have to write out the whole title of that specific line. :P Hope this helps.

Sig - Signature release
SS - Skull Shores
CAM - Create-A-Monster
CR -  Classroom
RM - Roller Maze
GR - Ghouls Rule
PD - Picture Day
SO - School's Out
GB - Gloom Beach
KS - Killer Style
PG - Power Ghouls
S1600 - Sweet 1600
DC - Dance Class
SL - Swimline

There are some more, but I can't remember from the top of my head. >,<

Thank you both so much, now if there was only an easy list of who was released when so I know how hard they would be to hunt for I would be in like flyn.

Oh and thank you for your kind works Luv, some of the dolls are cool so I do not mind learning about them so we can have conversations that do not consist of me asking her what is she talking about.

And MF is the new Music Festival line :) The lines tend to end up abbreviated by the initial letters, so likely the upcoming 13 Wishes will turn into 13W, Ghouls Night Out will become GNO, etc.

In Mandy's awesome sticky-thread she has the releases listed by year  ^.^

Diamond, Mandy created a thread that has a list of all the releases: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,283772.0.html It's stickied at the top of the MH forum :)

Also, I'm sure GNO will be for the Ghoul's Night Out line. And LP is for the new Lab Partners 2 pack of Cleo and Ghoulia. DTR for Double the Recipe Holt and Abbey 2 pack
