Originally posted by Cergorach It actually does look pretty neat, but it does like that a coplete of gobos was put to work writing bad reviews that give a 5 star review.
Completely agree. It looks very neat. I'm just amazed at 14 comments so quickly that are all 5 star and do sound as if they were written by one person.
While suspicious, I am pretty sure that James' coding prevents anyone who has not purchased the product from doing a review. Perhaps the publisher contacted all those who had purchased the item, offered them a special deal and / or some example text of a review, and asked them to make a review...

The system does allow free books to be given by the publisher as well, and when that happens the person can cooment on the product. So he could have given all his friends coppies and then had them make the comments.

I believe that the system does not allow that. You have to have puchased the product on your account, whereas a complimentary copy goes out in a different fashion.
No guarantees, I never tested it this way.

I'm pretty sure you can, I'll test it tonight when I get home and let everyone know.
I'm pretty sure you can, as I believe that the complimentary copy feature was intended for sending out review copies. Don't quote me on that, of course.
Regardless of the comments, and before Kithmaker's review, I bought the thing. I'll vouch for it - it's darned good. I have to agree wholeheartedly with Kithmaker's assessment - it's a VERY good product - looks good, wears well, and is great for helping visualize stuff without breaking your bank.
So, FWIW, I would give these products 5 stars too... even if I do think the company president ran his mouth a little too much on the RPGNow publisher boards. He does good work with these models and should be proud of it.

Just for the record, I did spot check about 5 of the reviews and they where all from people who paid their $15 to get the product. I suspect he's giving away something in return for the reviews.
Of course by doing this and getting so many 5 star reviews so quickly, people tend not to believe them and it's pretty much waisted.
