Why hello there?

Well, I guess I better introduce myself and detail the purpose of this blog in its first post (if you didn't take any hints from the banner).

Hello, my name is Tyler. Thanks to my interest in Lego, this blog I've concocted will house various my own personal Lego Set reviews that I can easily share just by linking to here. But why Lego reviews? My beef is that I cannot find one decent Lego site (fan or official) that has a huge database of collective reviews on the various sets that consist of a little more than those Amazon/BrickSet reviews such as:

"k dis set is liek awsone und u shuld by it even tho i don't have it! 5/5!"

Or better yet:

"omg this set sux cause it look stoopid, just don't by it cause i didn't lol."

Since Lego sets are so numerous (and expensive) I have trouble deciding which are good buys and which are potentially not suited for my tastes. Naturally I looked to the interwebs for some answers. Sure, there have been some great sites that do excellent occasional reviews, but what about the new stuff? What about the sets you missed because you didn't have the cast? What about that time you lost interest, but then saw something that caught your eye and you were hooked again? Why don't you review this set, or at least have a guest review, you have at least 400k freaking members for crying out loud!? (BZPower, I am looking at YOU)

So I said "Screw it, I should make my own."

Well, then I found out making a website "ain't so easy." Thus, I decided on a making a blog. There I can add a few personal reviews of sets I already own. The reviews will be picture heavy and pretty detailed, so I don't become what I loathe. Oh, and also expect Lego news to pop up on this blog from time to time. If this kicks off and I grow a small community or fill it up with enough content, I'll expand to a forum; and then, maybe even a website. But that's assuming this place gets anywhere.

The problem is that I am really only interested in three Lego themes. Those being Mars Mission, Bionicle, and Exo-Force. I know my tastes aren't the same as everybody else's (that's why they have other themes, duh) and to have a collective of reviews I will need some dirt on Lego's other themes. That's where other people come in. Have a great review you want to share? Just e-mail them to me and I'll post them up here on the blog. Please sent it to rauzaruke@yahoo.com if you are interested. Just remember to take decent pictures and use correct grammar!




Too long; didn't read? Well then, to summarize:

-The blog is about detailed Lego set reviews with pictures.
-You can send in your own reviews at rauzaruke@yahoo.com
-If this place becomes popular, I will try and expand to a forum for easier discussion and review sharing.

I just hope I help a bunch of frustrated people who don't want to drop a lot of dough on something they've only seen a few pictures of. Thanks to anyone who spent there time reading this and I hope I don't disappoint. Expect reviews to pop up shortly as well!

Oh, and I'm still tinkering around with the blog, so it is subject to change.
