Bionicle General Discussion

[Magical Girl Mimi]

She has 43 pieces. =P ... Hey, was Krika liked last year? If not, I may have found a pattern, as both had the lowest number of pieces, IIRC.

[Trijhak]

Krika was liked. In fact he was the most favourited Mistika.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Wow. Then was it Bitil who was flamed 'til he melted? =P And I myself don't think that the Mistika are as bad as everyone said they were. Sure they may not look like the original Nuva, but did the original Nuva look like the original Mata, aside from some slight similarities? I refer you to Gali's Kaukau Nuva... =P

The only other thing that I disliked about the Mistika is Gali's constantly hunched neck/head. She just can't look up. I myself would take wobbling over that. And the funny thing is that there's a way to fix that and have a custom torso. And it only needs a Mata/Nuva foot.

[Plotkin]

Well wasn't the brown type eliminated and turned to yellow because they sold the fewest and red and green sold the most? So I think that no matter what, the yellow or brown ones just don't seem as popular, maybe why they made Mata Nui that color, to attract more sales, people buying their favorite color(as I buy all the white guys) and then get mata nui. And one improvement from the Nuva to the Mistika and Phantoka was that there were more pieces and the movement was better. Altho I wish that Kopaka would've had a sword

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah, they could've easily put in a sword, yet they didn't. =/ I do wish that Gelu helmet officially came in more colours, like green. That would be so epicly awesome... =D

But yeah, that may have contributed to it, but IIRC, it wasn't his colour they were upset about, I think it may have been the simplistic build or so. Or the fact it used an Av-Matoran body when it was a canister.

[Plotkin]

Idk what IIRC means. And the yellow and brown faction have never sold as well as the others. And I love the Gelu helmet, IMO it's the best one this year. And I like the white guys so =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

IIRC=If I Remember/Recall Correctly. And it hasn't... Aside from this year. Even Vorox may have sold good, I dunno, but Vorox and Zesk seemed to be liked more than the others this year, mostly because tan was back. And yes, I agree with you on the Gelu helmet. I wish they had've done what they did in '01 with the helmets...

[Plotkin]

Ya that would be really cool, although only  Gelu's is worth getting IMO. Although what I don't like about changing the mask and face is that it doesn't allow for MOCs

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Or Mata Nui's Glatonika.(Glatorian Ignika) Though, yes, Gelu's would be awesome. Especially seeing that prototype in Metru green and apparently silver. ^^

[Plotkin]

Well, the Mask of Life is the most important mask in the universe. Atleast it's up there. And if by metru green you mean the green of the original green toa metru, that would be so cool. And silver would be pretty good too. Although I don't necessarily like the iron man type of heads. Although without that style Gelu's epic mask type wouldn't work (I have nooo idea of any mask names)

[Magical Girl Mimi]

They don't have any mask names. =P They're helmets in set wise of course. And yes, Metru Green, as in Matau Green. The same dark green that many of the Toa of Air and Glatorian of Jungle have had for a while now.

[Plotkin]

Well for reasons I'd rather not explain, I trashed all my old bios and skipped 2 years, so I don't have any of those, even though I used to have a ton *punches self repeatedly* And Phantoka Lewa was lime green, not metru green. And I couldn't remember Matau's name

BTW, is that the official cover for the new movie? Because that's more of the real Lego set, and the movie has modded mouths and such

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I said Many, I didn't say all. I am fully aware of Lewa being Limegreen

And yes, as it's been advertised in the mag many times, I assume it is. Maybe it's that Mata Nui has a faceplate with the Ignika, since it can change it's shape? *Shrugs*

[Trijhak]

Speaking of the mvies, the partial cast is up on BZP.

...so... many... recognizable.. voices...

At least they picked recognizable voice actors this time...

[lionytai]

like who?

How many voices were there?

[Rakoua]

WORF AND QUARK?
Oh my goodness, I'm soooooooooooo buying this.
But for some reason I can only imagine Worf saying "Minsk" over and over again.

[The Host]

GAAAAAAH! I forgot to put a vacation post up for the last week...

anywho>>

Gelu has an amazing mask, and I'll try for him if I can, although most of the other stuff on him is overlookable(although the snowflake/icicle parts are nice).
Vastus being a snake is really cool(better idea-wise than Gresh, although the green G is still amazing).
Stronius' club is nice, and the way it was used in the Rhox MoC in BBC54 was really nice(as hand pieces).
Kiina has nice weapons and getting 4 limbs and 4 of the armour pieces is nice, but the helmet and piece count take away from the set.
Mata Nui is MN... but in a bad design IMO
and Ackar is just plain. the flame sword is cool, and the ankle armour is new, but otherwise it's a recoloured pile of pieces(no knew mask...)

and for 2008:
Krika wasn't a good set, Bitil was.
Krika has:
-limited posability
-small piece count
-Av-Toran limbs
-wobble head(which wobbled the launcher too)

Bitil has:
-great posability
-largest piece count among can Makuta(although 4 viking hors takes away from that)
-wings(added joints)
-yellow!(new colour)
-av-toran body(which I'll take over 4 unbendable limbs)

I got both...(sadly. Krika was not a good purchase for me, especially w/ Cad pricing)


BTW: does the Bio Site get updated?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah, it should be updated by now unless it got delayed again... I'll go check BZP.

[Trijhak]

It's updated.

NEW MOVIE CLIPS.

[spoiler]The wat MN gets his body formed... >_<
But the ending of the GL TV Ad....
Yes.... Ackar, MN, Kiina, Gresh! Since Atakus and a Skrall are charging at them and MN somehow make the other Glatorian use powers... makes me believe that they are some of the more important characters...

Spectualted character appearances:

MN=HUGE (well, duh)
Ackar, Kiina, Gresh and Skrall=Big
Raanu, Berix, Metus, Atakus: decent
Tarix, vastus: Small
Non-Speaking roles: Low

Well, of course Gresh would be with them... he is he average hero type and the main character of ther first half of the year...
Kiina, Ackar: Summer Sets. Goes for all others, too.
All agori: They need agori.

[The Host]

Imagine if MN didn't speak... but the new clips are nice, even though the Movie Clip is somewhat boring... and MN's body formation is boring(the MoL always creates a body in the same way ><)

The new bios are nice. Telluris is a Glatorian, and it turns out Sahmad isn't really evil, moreso he's like Strakk, cruel in the arena, but he works for Tesera...(but he's orange).

Scodonius and Kirbraz don't get along... lol that should give at least one nice scene, maybe...

Telluris is a RENEGADE warrior(looks at my own name... YES!). He seems to work for whoever, which is cool.

Also cool is the fact that Crotesius and Telluris both seem to have made their respective vehicles. Telluris has a role in the movie, which is nice(it was a pic on the top of a box (from a BZP review)...
