I think the reviews are fair. Some years ago when Walthers began producing HO scale replicas of Amtrak Superliner cars, the writer indicated that in the tooling process, the first batch of cars had a slightly bowed roof, much to the disappointment of Walthers. Still, the writer pointed out that steps would be taken to alleviate the problem in future production runs. For the consumer, you couldn't ask for a more honest critique. I believe strongly that MR wants to encourage manufacturers to give us the best possible product, and flaws are noted in a constructive manner. This puts the manufacturer on notice, and informs the buyer to wait 'til the kinks are ironed out...take a risk and buy it any way...or simply decline to purchase a particular item. Bashing the manufacturer is counter-productive if you're attempting to promote the positives of the hobby. If a product is truly a lemon however, it ought to be exposed for what it is--but even this should be done in a tactful manner.[:)]
