I've said it before, I'll say it again: These pictures are too small, they're useless, they're a waste of file space and bandwidth. Figure a size of 400x300 (or 300x400) as a BARE MINIMUM size. Smaller just makes for indistinguishable blobs, like you have here. Please. Otherwise you might as well throw out your camera/camera phone, it isn't doing you any good.

It's actually looking like farily sized pictures for me. But that's because I have my view on 100% so I can't speak for others.

I have checked this out from 3 devices and all the pictures come out fine. I think you need to update whatever you are using. if you don't live in Las Vegas then why would you care? just ignore my posts. if you do live in Vegas then I can help you if you need help finding something.

I've zoomed in the webpage as far as it will zoom, the picture looks plenty big then, but the contents are still just blurry blobs. It's only with extreme analysis and familiarity with Skylanders that I can identify anyone in the first picture in the first post, for example. When I first tried checking Judaschrist's Photobucket pictures in another thread, I assumed that I was just seeing thumbnails, that I had to click the picture to see it full sized. But clicking the pictures do nothing, it seems those are the REAL pictures.

Then you have a misguided standard for "fine". These are not fine. They are too small. Firstly, whether or not I live in Las Vegas doesn't change the size of these pictures. My comments are true regardless. No, no update required, my browser is perfectly up to date, thank you very much. And if my browser were 20 years old, it still would have no effect on the size of the picture, nice try. The one picture in the first post is 240x180 pixels, as reported by my browser. That number is on YOUR end, or rather Photobucket's end, this is nothing to do with me. As I said, pictures should not be less than 400x300 or so. I always go with 800x600. You just lose too much detail when you go smaller.

Secondly, just because I don't live in Las Vegas doesn't mean I'm not interested in what figures are available, especially seeing pictures of what's available, especially if it's noteworthy enough to take pictures and share the news. I was looking forward to seeing what's on the shelves, only to be disappointed by pictures which require too much analysis to identify anybody.

This is constructive criticism, meant to help improve what you do. Defending your low quality pictures doesn't get anybody anywhere.

Unless I really AM seeing thumbnails, and the real pictures really ARE bigger, just that Photobucket is too stupid to link the thumbnail to the real picture? Please feel free to tell me if this is the case, and what I need to do to see full sized pictures from those links.

You sure don't seem like a nice guy.

sorry you cant view my pictures. since you are the only one that is complaining about it, I don't see any reason to try and attempt to do anything different. cant make everyone happy.

The picture is the right size to see what figure is shown in the packaging. We really don't need an upclose shot of each skylander that makes it look like they're taking a selfie c:

Ah, but I am, I'm trying to help him make his pictures better. I'm sure many others have noticed, they roll their eyes and move on. But _I_ am having the decency to say something, to point out the error.

I CAN see them, they're just too small to be worth looking at. And this way you aren't making anybody happy. Or very few, just the ones who don't care if they see blobs.

Oh, just ACCEPT the criticism and fix it! If you edited the pictures to resize them, don't shrink them so much. If they come that way out of your camera, your quality setting is way too low, just raise it a bit so this doesn't happen again. I'm surprised any camera is able to output pictures that small. It's not hard, it's easier than trying to defend them.

If these were pictures of single figures, they'd be big enough, at least enough not to complain. But EVERY picture I've seen has been group shots, leaving like 25 pixels per figure (like 5x5), which (trust me) is not enough to see anything. Look up the word "pixellated", these are extreme cases of it.

Okay, ARE these thumbnails I'm seeing??!?!?!? I just don't get how ANYBODY can defend such tiny pictures as being an acceptable size, never mind two people! I gave the size I was seeing to check this, but neither of you have confirmed that this is the size you're getting or not.

ok nice guy quit crying and move on you don't have to read my posts just overlook them.

not that i live in las vagas of WHATEVER
but stop fighting over please!

Well, as I said, this isn't just for me, these pictures are unusuable, period.

But I've said my piece. If you're too stubborn to hear constructive criticism and fix your pictures, there's obviously nothing more I can do or say. I weep for you.

more pics for fun lol

I can say that a lot of these pictures are kind of hard to make out what they are.

I'm also from Vegas, and as a contribution to the thread I picked up a Darklight Crypt at target a couple days ago.

Target on eastern and silverado.

The pictures are perfectly fine and seeable on my computer if its worth anything

Hopefully someone goes to TRU at meadows mall tomorrow morning my buddy found a glitter sonic boom. he said its behind some of the infinfty starter packs. I hope a little kid gets this so he at least has a smile on his face while his father beats him.

or you'll just run over there and brag about it to a kid.

he/she will get stiff armed first

I hope some little kid got that glitter sonic boom because when I got there this afternoon it was no where to be found.

So, it turns out I must (somewhat) apologize, it looks likely that your pictures might be fine. Just came across this in another thread:

Hi everyone i don't know if this is old news but i saw couple of single pack (non lc) at walmart.

The embedded picture looks like a fine size indeed. If I click the picture, I get a Photobucket page where the picture is just as stupidly small as all of yours. But the embedded picture does indeed have a Photobucket address. So, I see the fault for this as three ways:
1) Your fault, for not sharing the correct link (directly to the pictures instead of to the Photobucket page. The good one will end in .jpg, the bad one ends in .html. The good one is probably called "Direct Link")
2) Your fault, for not checking when I asked you to, not confirming - or rather, denying - the picture size I quoted
3) Photobucket's, for not providing a way to see the pictures full sized, like by clicking the thumbnails.

I now suspect it might be because I don't HAVE a Photobucket account, I'm not logged in. I guess guests don't have access to some things, like seeing the pictures full sized. We only see thumbnails, unless we get the direct links. Which would suggest that everyone who says "It looks fine!" also have Photobucket accounts. They should try logging out of Photobucket and see if they still look "fine".

So, please, could you share the real links? I actually would really like to see those pictures properly, and I'm sure other non-members-of-Photobucket would appreciate it too.

I was posting the wrong link. thanks for helping me out with that nice guy. I knew the resolution was fine. enjoy the pics

Damn, I SEE that they end in .jpg. I even checked that the actual address ends in .jpg, but I still end up on the Photobucket page with the picture all tiny! I suspect this one is all Photobucket, LOL! Looks like it redirects to the webpage version... I'm going to try embedding one:



EDIT: It worked! Yes, I agree, THAT is a perfectly fine size. LOL!

I get this (not sure if it will look the same to you):

that's crazy how small it is hahaha. now I see why they are useless to you. don't look at it on your phone, try a desktop or laptop. I noticed yours had a mobile link as well

I'm not on a phone, I never visit on a phone. Desktop computer, 17" monitor. This problem is all Photobucket.

It looks like once I've seen the pictures embedded, Photobucket doesn't redirect me to the webpage version which shows the small version of the picture. So I made a quick "webpage" where I embedded all your pictures, now they all show up properly for me, LOL! Actually, I just checked, it's redirecting me again. Grrrr!

If I were you, I would still want to know how to share a link to the pictures which DOESN'T redirect to a tiny version, ever. LOL!
