Nah, we now have plenty of space on the server for images.
It's just when they are attached to the database that space becomes an issue

Hoera!

The only problem now is taking images in good lighting conditions, when I work full time...do I dare take figures to work? Probably.

Being a geek means never being ashamed, remember.  After all, you've taken pictures of figures in cafés before...

True. And I have skeletal diagrams on my pinboard at work. And palaeoart/photos of birds for my desktop wallpaper.

Are you sure it will be worth the trouble? We know how that one will run: an entire post of tirade. 

A dangerous precedent has been set.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not bothered that someone else has reviewed the same figure, just that I could have been reviewing figures that other people have already done. Especially the ones where my opinion happens to differ. A great deal.

I understand you Marc. I did some guest reviews and some figures I chose to talk about were already on the blog, so I changed my review subject. But thinking twice I guess it's not a good idea to review a figure that has got a review on the blog. There's so much figures to review and if people start repeating figures we will never have a complete database. I know it is hard to review all models from all companies, maybe even impossible, but hey, we gotta try, don't we?

The issue of multiple reviews of the same figure came up here: http://www.dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,210.msg24640.html#msg24640
I have continue the discussion there to keep this thread on topic.

A Yowie review. And it only took me half a year to post it. I'm so sorry Brontozaurus!

Cool review of a wonderful figure, I like it  .

[DinoToyForum]

Ah! Nice to see the new Papo Carnotaurus reviewed so soon 

[tyrantqueen]

Okay, something that annoyed/confused me. Why are people complaining about the Papo ripping off the Sideshow, when that was what most people asked for in the first place?

One issue--brontotheres are indeed related to rhinos, just as they are to horses (and tapirs). Where they fit among the perissodactyls (along with the chalicotheres) is still debated.

Great to see something going on there again! As for me, I was in pretty much of a lack of time over the last few months, thus I couldn´t contribute as much as I liked.

Cool review of amazing figure, Congrats friend  .
