Review: 8975 Berix

[Corvus]

Having written five (and in the middle of writing my sixth) reviews for the BZP front page, I can tell you this:

This is why my reviews on BZP go so in-depth, and end up so long. Screw the story, I'm looking at the set the way I do MOCs where the builder had a limited stash of parts.

I'm not personally satisfied with what I see here on EB where the reviews are "Here's a bunch of pictures, lol, he's awesome to the maxx, go buy it." I'd much rather know what I'm getting myself into, and hey, if I absolutely hate a set, and get to say so in an official BZP review, and get some kids to buy a different set, instead of the ones that are repetitive and suck, then hooray me.

But hey, that's cool. Some people read books, and others watch the film adaptations.

I'm sure the people who are too lazy to read aren't missing out on anything.

Plus, if you want good pictures, you can't beat my BZP reviews. (And all my review images are also hosted on my Majhost gallery, BTW.)

Whoops. I seem to have started something I shouldn't have. I like the frontpage BZP reviews, really. However, the forum reviews on BZP can be bad, as can the ones on EB, which is why the Reviewers Academy was started. Any review that has a background and good lighting in the pictures is good.

Slightly off topic here, next time you review a set, can you take more 'final product' pics?

I have trouble finding a good space for photoshooting. My bed works for the most part, but I have no completely white walls to shoot against. I'm not sure what people do.

I'd suggest getting a light tent. They fold up and save room, where as a posterboard box gets in the way and takes up room.
