An Updated Review System

When I first started these reviews, I was using a simple category breakdown with little nuance and only a mild case of bias (I will always hate stickers). As I've been building out the site, I realized I needed to evolve the categories some and change up how I calculate the scores. So, moving forward, I'm going to be rating on the following scale for sets, now on a 0...20 scale up from a 0...15 scale:

Price to Build: this is changing ever so slightly. Instead of a strict price per piece breakdown being how I score it, I'll be factoring in licenses (which do tend to up the cost), printed pieces, variety of pieces for the cost. Things such as lots of small pieces inflating piece count will bring this score down.

Build Experience: overall, this category remains unchanged. Interesting design choices, variety of techniques, lack of repetition in the build will up the score. Instruction errors, confusing steps, missing pieces will bring the score down (I am aware missing pieces is rare, and not set indicative, but it affects my build and rating as it affects me, personally, during the build).

WOW! Factor: heavily biased by theme, but I will do my best to be impartial to these. How the set looks fully built and on display, does it have play factor instead of being simply a display piece, mechanics of the set (e.g. firing missiles, moving pieces).

And the new category:
Minifigures: If the set has no included minifigures, it'll always be capped at a 15/20 score. I can't be unfair about the scoring here. Minifigures are a big part of sets, and should be rated as part of the set score. Do the figures look good, exclusivity to the set, accessories for them, quality of the prints.

This means that all new reviews will be scored at a maximum score of 20, while the legacy reviews (which are tagged) will be maxed at 15.
