Section for Sets

Post by David Girard »

Hi, Your idea of putting a weekly set review is interesting. It's very interesting to discuss set with other.

But I have a suggestion.
Why don't you put a section for set review, and in this section, make a topic for all set. Instead of a topic mixed with other.

I like your idea of weekly review. So you can put a new set in this section each week. And peoples could talk about the new set of the week, an about the other set you put previously.

I have an exemple (not related to lego).

This is an exemple in music, where in the album section there are topic of each album. This idea can be used with the sets. :)

Tell me what do you think ?

The LEGO Castle section is for discussing official castle sets. I am not sure if reviews deserve their own section. Eventually, I may make a page that links to all reviews.

ben, just wanted to add my thoughts... i'm relatively new to this site so i noticed this too. the set reviews are great for helping me make decisions on buying some of the older sets. it would be nice to have a quick way to find them all without searching. not to mention when somebody bumps all of the old set reviews (like today) it tends to bury more "current" topics.

either their own forum or a link page to them would be perfect.

Wow, this is an old thread. Most sets that have been reviewed have a link to that review from their archive page. Out of production sets are found here: http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/outofproduction.html Click on a year and then select a set:

http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6085.html

That will have a link to the review:

http://classic-castle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1957

I know that this is not the best way to search for a set. I am working on creating a database which will allow a search of all the archives. This will display sets by name, number, theme, and even set type (castles, carts, shops, etc). After the CCC IV grading is done, I will resume work on this feature for the site.

Edit: One possible temporary solution would be a post by me in the sets section with links to each review. It would still take a while to post (and find a set) since there are hundreds of reviews.
