JimBee Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Clone O'Patra, def, Big Cam, WhiteFang VBBN, Pandora, Rufus, LuxorV, JimButcher, Inconspicuous, ZO6 Oky, Brickdoctor, Masked Builder, The Cobra, R8, Sisco Dear Eurobricks Community, Since 2008, the Reviewers Academy has strived to help put good LEGO set reviews out to Eurobricks and the AFOL community as a whole. We teach students how to take professional-looking pictures and to write detailed opinions and facts about sets. In-depth lessons and one-on-one interaction teaches students everything from the basics of reviewing to neat tips and tricks to give reviews that extra flair. Today, August the 23rd, marks four years since the Reviewers Academy was first launched. For four years, members of Eurobricks have come to hone their reviewing skills under the instruction of the Reviewers Academy Teachers. Today, we are still going strong and students are rising through the ranks. Since last August, we have had 7 new bronze graduates (darkdragon, Bricksan, SilentMode, JackJonesPaw, Stiel, Flare, and Ferrik), 3 new silver-level students (RumbleStrike, JackJonesPaw, and Pandora), and 3 new teachers (Brickdoctor, Pandora, and mostlytechnic), and we hope for that to continue in coming years. To celebrate, the teachers have written 20 new set reviews! Be sure to check them out below. And if you're interested in joining this great cause, join here! Here's to another great year!

just2good Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Happy Birthday RA! I still never finished that review... I really need to get back to it. Quote
TheWarden Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 It's a review explosion! But seriously, good work you guys and gals. EB really has the best reviews of LEGO products on the web. Quote
Big Cam Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 The RA has come so far, it makes me happy to see it flourishing. Great work everyone. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Congratulations, RA students and fellow RA teachers. I really need to get working again on my second review... I still never finished that review... I really need to get back to it. Yeah, all you inactive students need to get back to work! *cough*KDM*cough* Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 It's a review explosion! Indeed it is! 19 new reviews to marvel at. (and to learn from) Congratulations to the RA and to its amazing faculty of reviewers! You really are the cream of the crop when it comes to set reviews in all of the FOL community and thanks for continuing to inspire me to do my best in my own reviews. *cough*KDM*cough* Quote
GRogall Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Great job, Guy's! and congrats! by the way the link for the sopwith doesn't work! but again great job! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 by the way the link for the sopwith doesn't work! Ah, it looks like that link still leads to the topic in the RA Teachers' forum, so you can't see it. I don't have the powers to edit posts in this forum, but, for now, the link of the picture of the Sopwith Camel still works. (or use this link) Quote
Darkdragon Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Happy Birthday RA! Thank you to all the teachers that make it possible for EB to have the best LEGO set reviews on the net! Without your hard work and dedication, the world would be much more shadowy, misspelled, and lacking in substance. :thumbup: I'm looking forward to reading all of those 19 eviews in the coming days.

The Penguin Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 My most sincere congratulations to both the teachers and the students! You're doing a great job, people! It's a great pleasure to work with you, guys. You're always very kind and ready to assist your students in every way! I wish it to continue that way for many years to come! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
TrumpetKing Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Happy birthday RA! I'm happy to share this experience as hopefully I will have a shiny bronze tag soon! But an even bigger thanks to the teachers for making this entire Academy work in the first place, and I am looking forward to continuing on to learning the ways of the teachers! You teachers really know how to teach, and are some of the best people I have ever "met" to be donating your time to everyone to make them better at a difficult skill! Quote
