If so, what would you like to see me add to them to spruce them up a bit?<\/p>\n<p>In my reviews, I go for the no-nonsense approach. I show the set in the box, the parts, the build along the way, orthogonal views of the figures and often times the set, and then a final shot of the whole set, usually set in an action pose.<\/p>\n<p>All during that, giving descriptions of what you&#8217;re looking at, any issues of the build along the way, what cool features the set has and so on.<\/p>\n<p>I put a lot of work into those pics. Not just taking shots and loading them up, but color correcting them if the pic is too dark\/too light\/to much blue or red or green for example. I put them in composition shots to show stages of the building process, etc. For me, it&#8217;s fun, but it does take time and doesn&#8217;t just magically happen.<\/p>\n<p>I know other reviewers add it lighting affects that do not accurately reflect the actual set. That can lead to misinformation, so it&#8217;s one HUGE\u00a0reason I do not do that.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you folks would like to see pics with the sets in scenes and\/or special lighting, please let me know. That is something I can easily do. It&#8217;s just something I&#8217;ve deliberately avoided so as to not cause confusion with what is actually the set and what isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Reply below or e-mail me at sal@halofanforlife.com and let me know. I&#8217;m all for making the reviews better. I just want to know from you good folks what it is that you think would make them better.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 204, 255);\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve received a somewhat mean message saying that my reviews of the Halo Mega Bloks sets are boring and generic.
