Nice review. I would have loved to see the front of Ratchet a little more. It was a little too shaded.

Great review dude. Sigh. At least some people can afford all the new animated figures and are lucky enough to win the bids. Oh well. Just asking, is this earth or cybertron Ratchet, cause I was pretty sure earth Ratchet was a voyager...
Again, good review. Get your lucky mits on Blitzwing as soon as you see him. I would like to see a good review of him.
Also, why haven't you reviewed your Blackaracnia? It looks like an interesting figure. But yeah. Good luck and that.

THis might earn me a ban or this post deleted but if it does i guess the truth hurts. Isn't this a free country. And yeah sure this is a privately owned website but it's here for ppl to Discuss things. I see you locking topics that really didn't need it. Being a mod doesnt make you better than the rest of us. It just means you have more time to spend here than others and you take an invested interest in the site.

Sure he doen't have to waist his time writing something negative but he wanted to give his 2 cents and he did. Now I'm sure there is decency rules here(been so long since i signed up i don't remember)but I'm pretty sure this breaks none of them. Are you here as a mod to tell ppl " if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all"? I don't think so. we are ppl and we have opinions and Yeah Dbanks reveiws aren't A+ in my book but ppl telling him that might motivate him to do better, no?(Would have been better if you had sited why they annoy you optibotimus)

Anyways. Been seeing alot of this stuff recently and just needed to get my feeling out about it. things like this is pushing me away from Seibertron more and more and I have come here daily for several years now. (Awaits a Then why dont you leave responce)

On topic: yeah the phone thing is annoying and try to to fade the music a bit lower.

You do know that opinions can be insulting and calling something "annoying" is not constructive in anyway. Overly long, not explained well, etc. are perfectly fine critiques. Calling something annoying, well you might as well say it sucks or something else that is negative without a meaning. It is VERY RARE that I see people insult people on this site. In fact, it's pretty cool how debates can get very heated, but people still can do it without being insulting and get along fine in other threads. That's what this place is about.

Can you show me also about the significant about of threads that are locked? Please, let me know this, because since the board upgrade I would say 90% of threads that would have been locked get merged now which keeps the discussion going on and adds new insite to what would have been to seperate threads.

And about being a moderator, we are not picked because we've been here the longest, there is a bit of skill involved. We need to keep conversations going and from experience, we can see way before when a topic will go off into a flame fest with tons of members PMing us how pissed they are at other members and so forth. This was at it's peak during the movie time and we did tighten the reigns,a nd you know what happened? Discussions got longer, new members joined and contributed right away because they didn't get attacked off the bat, and the amount of complaints we get is down to almost nothing. This site has always been about making everyone feel equal and that not one person was better than others. Maybe you should realize that out of the 30 thousand plus members we have, I'd say we've had about 5 people banned in the last 6 months and maybe 3 people who complained like you. So I think we are doing pretty good. In fact, it's not just me who thinks we are doing good, according to an independent web site that measures Internet traffic, we are the number one Transformers website in the world.

fair enough. I wasn't constructive enough in my critique of his reviews and was very bland in my origanal post

Having said that, it's my opinion that his reviews lack any and all credibility seeing how he reviews them so poorly. Having someone else film, focused on some other part, while he's talking about another part is annoying. Having someone hold the camera in general, without any stability is rough to watch. He doesn't provide any real knowledge of the figure (something i myself enjoy). A lot of loud distracting things happen in his reviews...such as him essentially blowing his nose on his own sleeve. And finally, he lacks credibility as a reviewer because the figures he's reviewing aren't even his. He acquired them from someone else that paid for them, then turns around and makes a "first look" video of something that doesn't rightfully belong to him. Then has the nerve to actually take that figure and re-sell him. So, i say again...

His reviews annoy me
