New Toy Review Section?
So... I'm seeing a forthcoming problem here. Aren't all of these toy reviews going to clog up this particular topic? What happened to having an "all new toy review SECTION"?

Since many of us likes to write reviews for both the new and old figures, we decided to expand the review-area a bit more, as you can see. This makes reviews more accessible, easier to find, and gives more members the chance to post their opinion of a certain figure. Having just one review thread unfortunately makes that a bit more difficult since new reviews are added all the time.
There will be many reviews, but that’s the idea. If any other threads are posted, they shouldn’t be hard to find as long as new posts are added in them.

The idea here is that if, eventually, you had a question about certain figures, you would do a search with the search window narrowed down to this subforum only (under search options where it says forum: you select Teletraan 2). That would eventually have any non-review thread at the back of the forum. Teletraan 2 has always been the place for specific question about specific figures. It might as well also be the database of our collected knowledge for specific figures.
You would still use this section to ask the same questions you would about the same figures, just in the threads related to those figure (or time periods for certain older figures).
Example: You think you have a KO of a G1 Dinobot. You bring up the G1 Dinobot thread, throw your question in there, and those with the know are the ones that have already posted their reviews... You don't get answer for say.... six days, you could just pm one of the reviewers and ask their expertise... You have a cleaner system for asking your question, and a better system for who might be in the know about such things.
Sure, you will still ask "Can you identify?" here, but, with enough contribution from all of us, this section will eventually be able to answer most questions before asked.
It is going to take a few months, but we will get there.
I have also been thinking of making a sticky post for the top of the section, once it is rolling strong enough, that has links to each figure/historical section, so you may not even have to use the search feature. It is all just a matter of time.
So to sum up, Teletraan 2 is serving the same purpose it always has, just more proactive than reactive. We wanted it to become the place to share even more knowledge than it had been before.
