Two weeks ago, we introduced the new “Automatic eBay search links” in your CLZ Web software. After launch, we received quite a bit of feedback about this feature, both positive and… let me say… less positive 🙂
So we sat down, went over all feedback, and then came up with some tweaks to make everyone happy!
First, I have to repeat: this feature is OPTIONAL.
Most users love having the quick and easy access to eBay listings for their collectibles, either to:
- easily get a feel for an item’s value, by finding its Completed/Sold listings on eBay.
- easily find available copies on eBay, useful for your wish list items.
However, if you don’t see the value in this, if you don’t find this useful, then you can easily DISABLE this feature in the CLZ Web’s Settings screen, on the bottom right, under “eBay search links”.
v10.2.8: “Update from Core” now replaces preview art with final cover art
New:
- “Update from Core” will now replace preview art with final cover art if it is available.
Some explanation on the above:
If no regular art is available yet, comics often will have preview art as front cover. Once final cover art is available, we update the comic in Core with that final cover art.
To get the final cover art, just select one or more comics, then tap Update from Core from the action menu.

Sneak Preview for CLZ Comics 10.3: Easier and faster Adding by Cover!
In December 2024, we introduced a cool new way to add comics to your app: just scan the cover!
No more need to scan the barcode, no more need to find series by title and/or issue number… Just take a picture of the cover and the app shows you possible matches. Pick the right one and add it to your collection. Easy, fast… and.. everyone can do it, even if your knowledge of the comic world is limited.
Now, we expected this feature to be a hit, mainly for comics that do not have a barcode, or maybe for comics that have the barcode on the back cover. However, the Cover Scanner turned out to be way more popular than anticipated and by now it has grown to be the most popular feature in the app and, somewhat surprisingly, the main way for most users to add their comics, even for comics that do have a barcode.
So… it’s time for the next step. Let’s make this feature even faster and easier!
Here’s a sneak preview of two improvements that are coming up in version 10.3:
- Easier and quicker match selection
- New queue mode for adding in batch
By Odin’s Beard, it’s NCBD!
The return of Fantastic Four #1 is upon us! Kicking off a whole new volume of their adventures through time, space, science, and the human condition! When the Fantastic Four take on Doom, things go well until they suddenly go catastrophically wrong. They’re sent to four different eras in Earth’s history! Alone and isolated in wildly different time periods, Reed, Johnny, Ben, and Sue all have to fight to survive. Their only hope is to reach the Forever Stone: a mass of dense granite that happens to be one of the longest-lasting rocks on the planet, which has stayed both intact and accessible for most of Earth’s history!
Legends collide as the Man of Steel goes supersized for the Summer of Superman! In this all-new treasury edition, quintessential Superman writer Dan Jurgens pairs with the modern master of sequential art, Bruno Redondo, to craft a larger-than-life story of power, tragedy, action, and, above all — hope. When a vicious armada of extraterrestrial extremists launches an all-out invasion of Planet Earth, only Superman can stand in the way of total annihilation. But there’s something different about this attack — it’s deadly from both without… and within? It’s a tale so titanic we had to tell it at treasury size to celebrate the Summer of Superman in style! Featuring images and info from the brand-new Superman movie, plus a special photo variant cover!Superman Treasury 2025: Hero for All #1
Mover over, Big Bang! The first ever Rick and Morty comics event!Rick and Morty vs. the Universe #1 Rick’s old buddy Dimension C-137 (where Rick and Morty Cronenberg’d Earth) has reached his Universal half-life and is getting married to the female presenting embodiment of the Parmesan Dimension! He’s found true love and wants his old pal Rick to plan his bachelor party! What could go wrong? Answer: Pretty much everything . . . and it is all Rick’s fault! Now Rick and Morty are on the run. Rick will be forced to something he hoped he would never have to do a last resort of epic proportions!

[CLZ News] Catalog Toys-to-Life with CLZ Games, improved details panels in CLZ Web
This is CLZ Alwin, with your CLZ News for June 2025.
THE big release this month was of course the long awaited Toys-to-Life (TtL) support in CLZ Games web and mobile. You can now finally catalog your amiibo, Skylanders, Disney Infinity and other TtL figures.
This whole TtL endeavour took quite a bit longer than anticipated. Lots of work on our own Core TtL database, modifying the cloud database and CLZ Games Web software, creating server side endpoints for the mobile apps to access that, then finally adding all the new features to the CLZ Games mobile apps, including the cool new (for us) technology of adding toys by scanning the figure’s NFC tag with your mobile device.
But… it is all finally here and early feedback has been awesome!
The other update this month is basically an extension of last month’s “more compact” update of the CLZ Web software, as we continued our re-design work, focusing on the “details panels” of all five CLZ Web flavors. You know, the area of the screen where it shows all information of the selected movie, comic, book, etc…
Read on below to find out what has changed.
With all that out of the way, our mobile and web developers are continuing on the “new fields” project for CLZ Music, and… we started 3 other projects too. Check out the “Coming up” section below:
The topics today:
- Now live: CLZ Games mobile and web: Catalog your amiibo, Skylanders, etc..
- Now live: CLZ Web, improved design, layout and performance for item details panels.
- Coming up: CLZ Music updates with new fields (listening history, matrix nrs, etc.)
- Coming up: CLZ Movies updates with new fields (editable discs/episodes, watch history, etc..)
- Coming up: CLZ Comics 10.3: Improved adding by Cover and by Barcode
- Coming up: automatic eBay search links for CLZ Web
