Bionicle General Discussion

THEY'RE NOT ANNIVRSARY SETS.

YouTube is ten times as unreliable than Wikipedia.

Anniversary would come in 2011.

BIONICLE Started in 2001. 2001 +10=2011.

And the Stars are canon.

[Kritzelei]

Yes, although BIONICLE started in 2001, they were first available (officially) in December 2000, in UK stores. I doubt those are the main sets anyway.

[Trijhak]

Officially, by LEGO's standards (WHO CREATED IT), it started in 2001. Can't argue with what the creators say

[Kritzelei]

OK, fair enough. But I still doubt these are the main sets for 2010.

[Trijhak]

Incorrect.

Have you read that:

A. For spring wave of summer sets, there are NO CANISTERS.

B. These are very Iconic Characters.

[Kritzelei]

WHAT?? Where does it say this? I seriously hope it's not true...
But wait...
2001 -Toa Mata
2002 -Toa Nuva
2003 -Rahkshi
2004 -Toa Metru
2005 -Toa Hordika
2006 -Toa Inika
2007 -Toa Mahri
2008 -Toa Nuva
2009 -Glatorian
2010 -Stars

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that makes ten years (2001 inclusive) doesn't it?

@TBD: That's what I thought...

anywho, using money from my B-Day I aquired Cendox, Ackar and Stronius.
Ackar is a great set, and the flame sword is huge. The ankle pieces look really cool, but I don't like how much they wobble(although that allows for more foot movement).
Stronius is cool(if not a bit short). I adjusted his front armour so that it fit better(which is what a lot of people recommend. He's not as Skrall-ish as I would have liked, but he comes with many useful pieces(the mask, 2 part club, 3 new armour pieces).
Cendox is not as good as I expected him to be, although maybe I was expecting too high. He's still one of my fav sets this year, and the set has some nice pieces, including the reversable mask, yellow Kiina fin and other yellow pieces. The turning is cool, and while I don't like how loose the whole front end is I understand why they made it that way.

No it does not. 2001 add 10 equals 2011. That's what misleads people,. they forget how to count when they reach the thousands.

*facepalm*

COUNT the years. on your fingers.

[Ddude The Insane]

Yup, that's ten years.

And now it's time for...

Glatorian Tier List V.2!! This is my updated rankings of the Glatorians this year:

1.Stronius
2. Ackar (Yes, I know, the blue pins look awful. He's still a great set tho)
3. Kiina
4.Skrall
5.Mata Nui
6.Vorox
7.Strakk
8. Gresh
9.Tarix
10.Gelu
11.Vastus
12.Malum

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Exo-Force didn't sell well.

I would much rather they made the vehicles go bye-bye, except for one or two each year and have two titans in the summer.
And as for the other 2 or three titans/vehicles that would normally be there, why not replace them with special edition canisters, with exclusive pieces and a combiner to go with them?

IIRC, it ranked up there just below either Star Wars or Bionicle... I think it may have been 2007 that killed it.

*UBER FACEPALM*


Anniversaries do not work that way. That way, 2002 would be the second anniversary of BIONICLE, which it clearly isn't. It's the first, making 2011 the tenth.

Honestly, I expected you to know how an anniversary works... no offense.

Ten years? No. 2000+10=2010. Which, by ereryone's misled logic would be the tenth anniversary which it isn't.

BIONICLE did not start in 2000 officially.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Let's look at this another way. Even if we were to count 2010 as the tenth year, it wouldn't have it's 10th year anniversary until like December 2010, which would mean it'd be 2011's sets that would be the anniversary sets. Don't count 2000 in your theories, as they're like how the Phantoka and Glatorian got released in December of 2007 and 2008 respectively... Does that mean they're 2007 and 2008 sets?

And an anniversary is when there's been a certain amount of years elapsed. 2010 will be the ninth anniversary when it passes the date it was officially released. Not the tenth.

What was the [sshiny[/s] for? 0_o Secret thing I can't know about?

Though for onnce it seems the graphics got downgraded...

If Multiplayer is online... I'll probably be playing it.

I'm pretty good against tough opponents, though ral-life opponents are considerably more harder and entertaining than CPUs.

Now, I'm probably going to level-out Gresh's, Mata Nui's, Vorox's, Skrall's, Stronius' andVastus' stats. Vastus is especially quick and hard to dodge, he's one of the hardest golden opponents in GA2...but a real life player? Even harder.

And so more fun.

[mtmerrick]

people say "ooh! shiny!" all the time. well does it look shiny to you?

[Trijhak]

...Yes.

So, I'm going to do a Backflip+Heavy attack+Light Attack+Heavy Attack combo if they still have backflips...

I wonder if the combo scores increase your chances of getting points for your characters?
