To All,

This is a very interesting discussion, I rated just about every set I own,
with most of them having comments, and I think it is a great feature.

I am not sure why some people rate sets at 0, most others already offered up
explanations.

Here is a set I gave a zero to, a Bionicle named Nokama. I bought this set
because someone wanted to use to the little blue tool on a starship. After
building the guy, and seeing it, I simply detested it. I think the Bionicle
is a bad line, not in tune with what I consider TLC products to be.

I have received a number of e-mails about my ratings in regards to certain
sets, and have discussed it with the person. My favorite happened to be the

6514 Trail Ranger:

Someone complained I rated a 30, since I thought it was good for parts, and
the main model was, IMHO, dumpy. I bumped it up to 40, but outside of parts,
I thought it was a bad set. I think we need to remember most people put
their preferences in the ranking, as opposed to any scientific ranking.

I think a revising of the rating might be a good way to go, perhaps you can
have a system where you rate different aspects of the set, say the quality /
quanitity of the parts, the quality of the model, etc. Then average those to
get a final ranking. It might be a good way to balance some of the numbers.

(...) I'm absolutely in favour of separating the ratings for the bricks versus the model/instructions. How often have you heard someone say "lousy model but great parts"? Consider 6087 Witch's Magic Manor which rates on LUGnet at the moment at 45 (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) I would say probably not... some sets really ARE duds. (...) That's not a bad idea. It works for Figure Skating (and we know how fair and impartial THAT sport is!) Grin.... No seriously, it IS a good idea. I would say this, though.... how abou (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-02, to lugnet.general)
