NO AUDIO ONLY :(

Hey guys,

I gotta say i enjoy your show too much to have it get downgraded to an audio only, the visuals are great, I love watching Josh bring some of the toys on screen and Adam's facial expressions while ranting about the Voltron lions are priceless :D.

I really prefer the visual

I really prefer the visual aspect of this show. It's great to see the toy images for w/e topic is being discussed at the time.

I know numbers do matter, I wish I knew more people into this. In my regular group of friends though, I'm literally the only collector. But you guys are part of my weekend routine, and I freaking love this show. I would be ok with shorter episodes though, that seems like a nice compromise if you guys are dead set on changing things around.

Ever since I found this site and this show, my love of this hobby has grown even larger. I've also found myself really messing with my figures again, and treating them like toys rather than expensive decorations. Your efforts on the the site and show are definitely appreciated guys.

Great Show guys

Great show and I really really appreciate you guys for the work and dedications. You can offer audio verison of this but please please also offer the visial aspect. I know you guys are probably very busy like the rest of the people here, but i want to see if I can offer couple of suggestions to help improving or off-load some of your work.

1. Instead of you, Josh and Atom, how about getting other CDX members onto the show and just talk about "toys"? A audio version between x and y over the phone or something and just talk away.

2. I am interested in seeing Chiacipower or eva4 on the show and fire away on toys discussion.

3. I know the editing part of the video is a lot of work for Atom, but if i have to choose between getting visial weekly show or unedited raw show, I would rather see the raw version. Which is less work on Atom's part, and hopefully lesser stress on you guys.

4. Maybe one show per month follow by 3 weeks of short version of the show with guests.

If you wanted audio

If you wanted audio commentary about the website, it always seems like Dkun and I chat up the toys when we get together for the Veef Show.

Numbers

I live in the corporate world so I know NUMBERS are everything to everyone. As Depeche Mode said "everything counts in large amounts". I wish I could help the show. i have told all the collectors and nerds I know about it. I have told the local toy and comic book shop owners about it. I have bored my co workers to death about it. I only have 2 ideas left. One I am going to be promoted to a director's position next month so I will be managing a crew of 12 people. Once I am in charge I will force them to watch the show every Monday and call it "mandatory Marketing Training". I know they will enjoy it more than the mindless Powerpoints that corporate provides us. Second, sex always sells. How about bringing on some bikini clad babes to cover the reviews. They can hold the robots and action figures and read the highlights of the toy(articulation, accessories, etc). I am sure Josh's wife would not mind the DX Girls hanging out in the basement each week. Seriously, love the show just the way it is and wish I could really help get the numbers you need.

pretty stoked....

.... that I had my comment read on the show. Though just for the record I do read the reviews .... just not all of them. But if I see a review or toy thats on your show that I didn't read and you guys rave about or give me a little interesting background about ... well then I'll go back and read up more on it. Just saying.

BLABBING ALERT AHEAD, I apologize.... not just taking up real estate, please read if you got the time.

I like one of the suggestions from one of the commenters - I wouldn't mind an unedited raw show either, I mean its kind of the charm of watching you guys. Don't know if you guys bother redoing scenes, but really theres no point in doing that if you do. Each episode should be like I'm inviting you guys over to shoot the sh*t with, except you guys have all the breaking news and some perdy pictures to show.

I also really appreciate that you guys have mics right in front of you as opposed to when I watched one of the other show links once ... think it was "Some Assembly Required" with Josh and a bunch of other reviewers on a couch and the distant voice thing just wore me attention wise really fast.

If you have to cut stuff out for time or whatnot then forget the smooth transitions, just do a jagged cut and continue or if theres no time limit then just continue on and put in the nifty banners whenever you need them. Getter done robo.

I'm always in an instant gratification mode and I know I'm not alone, so I'm not gonna hunt for veefs shows in one of your side links. If Veef does a video review show -- JUST PUT IT IN THE FRONT PAGE STREAM where you have this sites reviews and you CollectionDX new episodes.

Whether he protests or not, IGNORE HIM just put it on the front page stream anyways --- people who like it will watch, those that don't can bugger off. (Usually people at this site have more than a semblance of higher intelligence not to waste everyones time by whining like say ... er.... youtube comments)

Watching the show I have a love of Macross/Robotech like Adam, and the Veef ( aka VF, heck even hes name is a Macross/Robotech reference) is a walking Macross/Robotech Britanica.

Like I said previously before if you're short on time and still thinking about a doing a show every two weeks instead of weekly but want to keep the viewers happy and maybe give you guys more leeway - DO THIS:

Maybe skip a week or two and at the end of those produce two shows back to back (STAY WITH ME) ....
So now you have 2 episodes for the next two weeks which you can air one a week.
During the two weeks that these episodes airs you have content for the next two episodes and so on and so on.

You can then decide between yourselves to continue producing back to back episodes in one of the two weeks there by giving you guys a week off. Or if you decide we've got time you can produce and episode once a week.

That way you're on a bi-weekly schedule like you guys wanted so you have more time to yourselves, and the fans
still get a weekly aired episode. Frankly its not like we watch your show to get the hot dates of when stuff comes out, most of the time the stuff you review is either been out a while (sometimes a long while 70s, 80s and so on) or they'll be released in the next few months.

In other words doesn't matter if the info is a week or two old cause we watch for the in depth reviews, opinions and the banter between your two personalities.
