Bionicle General Discussion

[Magical Girl Mimi]

1. I haven't read your epic yet, so it wouldn't do much good to post in the review, would it? =P

2. Not me, but you should for the tan, unless you have a limit on the amount of sets you can get.

[lindavz]

Yes, but we've known about TLR, and seen it's clips, for a little while now. But it is interesting that everyone who hasn't seen the Bionicle Website knows now. =)

Yeah - I suppose those unfortunate souls like me - who had their head in the sand about Bionicles - actually found out about it via the email are now enlightened!  

[Magical Girl Mimi]

True. I still wonder when, or even if, Bye Bye Babylon will be up on the site...? We already found out 'bout GA2... Hopefully early next month. But August's almost over, and...

[The Host]

Who's gonna buy the movie? I know that I am not, although the clips have me more and more interested. I may rent it from a store one day in the future, just to check it out.

And what's up with GA2?

[lindavz]

True. I still wonder when, or even if, Bye Bye Babylon will be up on the site...? We already found out 'bout GA2... Hopefully early next month. But August's almost over, and...

Um... it says on the bionicle site that 'Bye Bye Babylon' is at Bonus Feature of the DVD, unless you mean something else.

But a bigger secret awaits...

1. Me. Kiina isn't that bad... And if you're wondering about Ackar(Brickeens mentioned this on his blog on BZP), then have you ever fought a sword vs. axe fight against someone who can throw an axe at you and toss you back into a rock? It'd probably not be the easiest fight, explaining the grunts. =P

2. It's pulling a Mistika. =P

[Midnght]

*waves arms* Am I invisible here? =P

Does anyone here have Vorox? I'm thinking about getting him...

Got him. What about him?

[Ddude The Insane]

Is Vorox a good set?

[The Host]

By looking at pictures of it I'd say yes, although some people complained that the mask is smaller than they had hoped for. And if you dislike Blue Pins, then Vorox may not appeal to you, since his armour attaches using blue 3 length pins(which is rediculous, since the pins staick out behind him afterwards).
The tan would be neat to have, and the tail looks pretty cool. The downside is that he has no new weapon, and his lifecounter attaches in a weird position(like Skrall, although on Skrall the problem is easily solved).

[Trijhak]

On Skrall the problem is not easily solved... If you put it on his Inika Torso he can't look straight...

Just noticed this post...

I meant the actual song, not the music video.

so you just need to 'hear' but not see! 

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah. So, the Music Video more than likely won't be up on the site this year, unlike with Closer to the Truth. But, it's not that far away from when TLR will be out ^^ I can't wait, myself.

[Midnght]

Is Vorox a good set?

I think so. But as said the blue pins are totally stupid. but anyone with enough pieces can replace them with half pin black pieces.
the tails are cool on both vorox and vesk. but again it's not some special new piece it's mad eup of standard parts usually a foot or a leg piece I think it is. on of the 95 degree arms the ball join connector used as hands more often than not and the blade. Pretty simple to replicate. the tan pieces are very very nice in color.
The tan and brown colored leg and arm armor is very nice instead of say solid black.
The game piece isn't in the way as they place it on the back of his foot.
The masks rock imho but I don't hate half masks.
All in all for the price I think they kick butt.
But I do like the more bestial looking Bionicles and Vehicles.

But in your opinion what makes a good set?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

The tail blade is one of the blades Solek used last year, and the sword blade is just the generic(Now) Hewkii Mahri blade. =P

Two more things I forgot to post many times. One, I recently noticed that Gravity Hurts, contrary to popular belief, fits the whole 2008 storyline, not just Winter '08.

"For freedom we Rise,
Learn to fly, take the sky, Legends will carry you" -- Winter '08.
"Thousands of miles
Take a stand, hold the land, make sure that everyone's" -- Summer '08, Mistika.
"Ready to win
Find the speed, all you need" -- Summer '08, Vehicle battle and escape part.
"Team up for battle we fly, fly" -- Just about all of '08.

Second... Remember how I said Mata Nui's movie sword couldn't be made? ... I was wrong. >=D When I get my new Hard Drive, I'll get pics of the sword, Ignika wielding it, Updated Toa Blade(Who is huge BTW) holding it, possibly Gresh holding it, and possibly more. And it's so simple an idea, I don't know why I didn't see it earlier. =D Also, I'll get to uploading those other pics *Looks at the Karda Nui pics that of them only Krika got uploaded*, and taking new pics of Updated Toa Blade(Huge I tell ya. ... Towers over Ignika, and is even slightly taller than Gresh. =O). I'm not sure if I'll continue one of the projects of the Karda Nui pics, as it's a little outdated by now... Who'd want me to try to remake that project for this year though? ... Yes, no-one knows about it yet, but... Hint: I mentioned a hint about it somewhere in this post.

[The Host]

@KZ: Well, I reversed the torso on Skrall, so that:
1. It looks more sturdy
2. It can hold the Metru Chest and the Life Counter

Skrall still works the same way, and the only downfall is a slightly lower position for the arms to lock onto, which doesn't look to bad.

[Iconox]

Got the big Mata Nui titan set for my birthday. He makes Tuma look like a midget. I'll post pics sometime.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That's pretty cool. Say, you have Can Mata Nui, right?

[Trijhak]

I've got TMN too.

I modified with one of Tarix's Shoulder Armour, nived the Inika Leg Armour upward so that the top was below the Inika Foot, with the INika Shoulder Armour below it, attached by the half pin. Looks much better, as the silver Gahlok-Kal Shield is hidden.

Tarix is a Terrible Set, people.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Okay, I'll ask you then, KZ...

Do you have Lewa? And Tanma(Or something with a Air Katana)? I've got something I want you to try to make if you want... >=D PM me if you have them, please.

Oh yes, do you have Can Mata Nui?
