Ed and I have decided in order to help get the new set review feature off the ground, we are going to offer the first 100 unique members the opportunity to get 500 Brickpoints for submitting an approved review. With the release of this latest site update, it will be the start of more member interactivity. We want our members to have a voice and share their thoughts on the investing potential of all these sets. There is so much to learn from one another. I know I love reviews. Whether it's LEGO, video game or movie reviews I like to read what the different point of views from individuals. Many times it's helped me make a better purchasing decision.

We are not looking for reviews that just say "I love this set!", that's fine and we may approve it, but its not going to be awarded any Brickpoints. Just take the time and think about how you would like to read something of value to help you spend your money wisely.

The goal is to hopefully get members to write reviews of at least 1000 characters (not words). Ed and I will read the reviews.

Feel free to ask any questions. By the way this post here is over 1100, characters, so its not that long of a review . In order to create a review, just visit each set and on the right side of the top stats bar, you will see an area for reviews. Just click the link. Look at the attached image

Note: The 500 points will be added manually by us as we need to keep track of who is getting them, so you may not see the points happen automatically.

Jeff will hand out the 500 Brickpoints within the next day or two. Our new contest will start on April 1, 2013. More details to follow...

Haha, I got in by the skin of my teeth!

You've been on BrickPicker for quite some time...kind of surprised you haven't done a review yet. Anyways, congrats on squeezing yourself in!

99th place!

Barely got in. After the Macks posted that banner on the top of the main page the new reviews really started coming in fast.

I wrote my first review on the 17th. (Night Time) 10 points (not 500 points) My review was approved also.

Nice! By the way, Ed and Jeff, on the main Reviews page, at the top it reads

the first 100 members to submit an approved review will be award 500 bonus Brickpoints that we are tracking here.

Sorry if it sounds like I am being a Goodie-Two-Shoes, but I didn't want any people thinking that they could still get the 500 Brickpoints, even though the reviews award has been around for quite some time.

No worries! Least I got a review.

You could give us 1 Brickpoint per private message... IrishGuy66 and I were doing 40-50 messages a day before he got kicked off.

I wrote my first reviews before I knew about the contest, so I'm #33!

I can't wait to see what happens when he gets back on and sees all this written about him. I'm dead.

I have no idea how a parent could effectively keep a determined kid off of a website, she must have some far reaching influence.

My parents have some internet protection thingy on the computer so they can stop me from getting on to certain sites if they want to. It sucks because I don't know how to get around it. They blocked it during finals week. :(

They changed his password and he doesn't have his own email account so his mom will know if he makes another account.

Just don't give your password to your parents then they can't change it, but still like comicblast said there's always internet protection. :(
