I highly doubt the votes are rigged. The votes on the DTB have always been inconsistent, probably because opinions vary? And lets take it easy on this guys FIRST review. 

[Takama]

HONESTLY I think this model deserved a more in-depth analyissus then what it received.    The review fails to go over the history about how the model was reviald and how they tried to market it despite all the obvious flaws that they were oblivious to. I remembered that They wanted to sculpt the model as if the Animal was About to EVOLVE INTO a T.REX as if it were a Pokemon. (though not quite as spontaneous)

Yes, the review definitely needs to go over the loooong history of the figure.

Probably Predasaurskillekor missed the messy Rebor incident. Either way, nice first review  , but the history of this model should be added as well.

Congratulations on your first review! It's a good review, but a horrible figure made by an even more horrible company.

My first PNSO review, and the DTB's first review of Tuojiangosaurus:

One of you can always add the history in a comment on the review page.

I am not giving Rebor a pass, but it was a nice review, and it is ok if there is some positiveness to it.  The whole messy incident(s) does not need to be dredged up every time there is a review.  If you want to make an issue known, just put it in the comments. 

Nice review on Tuojiangosaurus!  I do have a question though.  I have seen reconstructions with and without a shoulder spike.  I know I have seen a Scott Hartman reconstruction with it.  Was your objection due to their being a shoulder spike, or its size and shape? 

[suspsy]

I've seen paleoart depicting it with shoulder spikes, but no skeletal mounts. Nor does the Princeton Field Guide depict it as such.

Today I will send another rewiew...

Predasaurskillekor

P.S. I like the toujangosaurus, I have added it to my PNSO wishlist (that have the baby spinosaurus too)

[CityRaptor]

I wonder if that will be as controversal, too.

Just a reminder: If it ends up being a Predasaur figure, it should be an actual Predasaur and not an Insectosaur, Aquasaur or Dragonsaur

The next 2 rewiews will be about REBOR models, after there will be predasaurs, predators volcano battle and dinofroz. 

Predasaurskillekor

P.S. I have three incomplete insctasaurs and a predasaur for aqua attack. Dragonsaurs doesn't interest me, I didn't have anyone.

I am not making the case that it had a shoulder spike, I just found this funny.     In the dino of the week website there is a picture from Scott Hartman.  Here's what it says in the text:  Obviously, first and foremost, there is no gigantic shoulder spike jutting out from the fore limbs of this animal. Neither in Hartman's wonderfully detailed schematics nor in any museum in the world does Tuojiangosaurus have enormous shoulder spikes.

The thing is....if you look at the picture of Scott Hartman reconstruction, there is a small shoulder spike. 

[suspsy]

Yeah, that part about Hartman puzzles me too.

Welcome to the 100 Club! So far it's me, you, Adam, and Horridus. And what better toy to ring in the occasion?

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure it's just me, you, and Adam. I don't think Marc has reached 100 yet.

Nope, just double checked and he's got 103 reviews under his belt. I'm presently at 121. I've never counted how many precisely Adam has written, because his author page includes announcements as well as reviews. But I'm pretty sure he's well past the 100 mark.

I only count 97. And that's including at least 10 guest reviews. That puts him at 87, at most.

[suspsy]

Really? So much for estimating then. That means Marc was the first of us to break 100.
