aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you guys are sssssssssssooooooooooooooooo lucky to have all those sets. O well, I'll be happy when I get Skopio. As for the vehicle rider helmets:
Crotesius has the same helmet as the Kaxium Riders, just reversed.
Sahmad and Perditus have the same helmet.
Telluris has the same mask/helmet/face as the Spikit(tho he only has one) but reversed.
and yeah, the riders are pretty plain IMO(but that's not why anyone is getting the sets. The vehicles are the real prize.
@Midnight: how do you extend the wheels(I know there's an elastic involved... but that's it).
There's no doubt about it Thornatus is way cool despite the items I listed.
The side wheels OMG.
How to best describe this.
The band is straight across ------------
The side wheels
Slide along a track in the middle with a shield on top of it they go towards the front and make a very slight V formation.
When you slide them backwards they do a severe backwards V to the body of the vehicle (back by the seated figure giving it more protection if you look it at from that perspective) and looks like a massive Y trike.
Here's a pic someone took of Thornatus with the wheels back.
The whole vehicle is a Y trike so to speak. 4 wheels in the front left and right two on each side.
One big wheel in back.
Literally took me a good 4 hours to put together. With breaks inside that. I did it over two days.
A very sturdy peice good heavy weight.
But see this is why I say the extended wheels could have been been better IE they could have a lever or something you could move to bring them forward and back. They don't have it. You darn near need three hands to move 'em. One to hold the body the other two for each side wheels to pull or push backwards. It can be done with two hands just compared to some of the previous vehicles with levers to flip out the wings and such they should have done the same on these wheels IMHO.
But no matter what extended or retracted the vehicle is phenominal IMHO.
Another thing I really love about the front wheels.
They use silver Krika skulls as wheel covers (in real life they like your bicycle keep mud from flying up your back.
And on the front again they use silver krika half front arms as blades.
The skulls are just soo cool used in this way.
The only vehicle I didn't pick up was skopio I just don't like it's alternative mode. As the upright 4 legged beast it's pretty cool. The tracks are awesome. Dut the turned more into a quick driving tank mode, so to speak just isn't all that great IMHO. But as the skorpion mode he's pretty cool looking. I may pick it up in a few months when the sale price drops to clearance for about 25-40 bucks. };>)
As an aside. Don't be too jealous. I'm an adult with money to burn. }:>)
I'll post a pic of my latest collection there's 34 sets in the pic i'll add in a moment.
Thornatus is not in the pic haven't brought it to work yet.
I do have some older sets back when bionicles first came out even some of the silly mcdonalds happy meals sets.
But I have to go home to CT and dig em up out of my ninja, egyptian, and technics lego sets.
