    Frankly, I prefer web page reviews to video reviews for a lot of reasons:

    • Web pages allow hyperlinking while video reviews are linear by nature. I like it when reviewers refer to other sets, building techniques or websites. When I watch a video review, and I hear something interesting, I have to stop the video and google for it. On a web page I can just CTRL-click it and read the content at my leasure.
    • When watching a video, you are forced to process the information at the same pace as the reviewer. But often I'm not interested in the same aspects as the reviewer. I might want to skip the bits about the minifigures (sue me ;)), while I'd like to spend some more time examining a mechanism. Which brings me to my next gripe with video reviews:
    • High resolution pictures. Video review quality usually allows for less detail than a good Flickr photostream.

    Looking at the external reviews on Brickset set pages, it seems that more and more reviewers switch to making video reviews, so there's obviously a market. To each their own but I hope I can keep reading good quality reviews at my own page here on EuroBricks.

    To sum it up: if I was a really good speaker, I would speak in my reviews. But I know my limits :)

    Judging by your written English, you have nothing to worry about. Your video reviews are among the few I actually enjoy (which is saying something, considering my rant ;)), so keep up the good work!

    Last saturday, my 6 year old nephew was visiting. He brought along two Ninjago minifigures from 70601 Sky-Shark because he knows I love Lego. Unfortunately, he lost his Lloyd minifigure somewhere in the city. We haven't been able to find it.

    I thought it would be nice to bricklink the minifigure and make up an 'adventure' with some pictures. Unfortunately, I have no Ninjago sets at all, so I have a question for the community: Do you have a Lloyd minifigure? Would you mind making a picture of in some adventurous setting? I would hugely appreciate it, and I'm sure my nephew even more so!
