So that's what that ugly piece of plastic is in the middle...this coming from a Bionicle fan. lol I like Kopaka too. He's my favorite Bionicle character (the new ones just aren't the same) EDIT: I didn't realize there were 18 pages of just Bionicle. I didn't think there were that many Bionicle topics!

Would it hurt too much to ask what it was? Ah, there's my gold Mata Nui I was looking for. Still wanting Cendox. I ♥ snowmobiles. Plus the helm is pretty decent.

Seems like a nice little entry to me. I agree with you on the quote thing and his weapons, though I have no idea who this guy is

The sand stalker doesn't impress me, but I wasn't expecting much, so no big loss there. My critiques (note my criticisms do not take into the limited parts factor, so don't tell me "there weren't enough pieces for that!") I think tan would've been a better color choice (yes I know Malum and the other one do not have tan). Nice contrast or whatever to the other riding beast. If an Agori's supposed to ride it, the size is good. If a Glatorian's supposed to ride, it needs to grow a lot. I mean, if any Glatorian rode it, his knees would be bent and his feet touching the floor (imagine an adult man riding a four-year-old in a non-sexual way). Color scheme has improved since the lime and red Makuta last year, but I think it should get rid of silver completely. I think tan and dark bley would be nice. Also, make all feet the same, two-toed variety. I'm not sure why it has a launcher in its mouth. And the saddle could be improved. I don't think the fire-claw really works as a rein or whatever. I would turn around the orange and red Carapar armor and slope the Kalmah feet down slightly so it forms a slight V shape. Comfortable for riding, plus throw in some kind of yoke. And obviously, fix the legs. I'm starting to like the Cendox. I might actually get it. In fact, I like it best out of the vehicles. Reminds me of snowmobiles, and I may remake it in a white and blue color scheme for, say, Metus =D

On Wookiepedia there are categories of things, for example "Clone trooper variants" and there are categories for images as well, like "Images of Mace Windu". To find this page I clicked on a pic of Mace. On the bottom it lists the categories this is listed in and I clicked on the "Images of Mace Windu". Hope that helps That picture I'm fairly certain is set before Ep. II so I don't think TLC used it as a basis for their design (look at his blue lightsaber0

Yet more great art! Nice job. He looks much better than the set, not as skinny.

TLG and TLC both work. (The Lego Group or Company ;) ) I looked in here. Glancing at all the images, it doesn't look like he wears grey but I didn't look at all of them closely.

My impression was that all the troopers filed out these doors, because these doors are nowhere near where the gunners are seated.

How's this? (not mine)

To be honest, that's a really lame excuse for not making a gold Ignika.

If you have the cross-sections book, it says that the part of the "wall armor" near the midsection folds downward to make an angled ramp on the real AT-TE.

Ah, yes that would be me. I've been out of the loop with the storyline (is there a new book?). Thanks!

My thoughts: Stronius – He looks nice, though not fan of his chest armor. I didn't know he was a Skrall, but that does fit. Maybe buy. Ackar – He looks cool, though bley hands fail. Flame sword is very cool, anyone else thinking Tahu? Mata red and orange is completely awesome, though I was surprised by Berix helm but it does work. I will get him. Kiina – It's nice to see TLC trying out a nice torso, but I don't think this is it. New joints are nice. Also, what's her weapon? No buy here. Gelu – Helm is awesome for T-visor/Mandalorian-ness. Also, the ice motif is good. I like the sword, though snowflake shields on arms are silly. I would also add Inika legs and different feet. A little generic though. Definite buy. Vastus –“ Not a big fan, but the scythe is nice. Probably no buy. Mata Nui – Good, but would've been better in gold. Not sure what his weapon is, but it looks cool. Not spectacular, but good. Maybe buy. Don't like the vehicles at all, except the folding tank thing and the two-person motorbike (is it Kaxium?). I like the motorbike helms. Can anyone tell me what these guys' storyline roles are? Obviously, I know who MN is. Stronius is a Skrall, but is he some kind of lieutenant to Tuma or something? Is he an individual? Who are the vehicle riders? Are the GLs related to their winter counterparts (canister and small set)?

Zesk? Why? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sprxtrer...zeskvsberix.jpg Stronius is a Skrall?

Thanks. The trans Hau Nuva is quite awesome.

Great job, and congratulations! I especially like the zamors and Bohrok headplate. Are there pics (of prizes and MOCs)?

I have to say, this set is really great. Just like the Hoth set, it's not too big but the few parts that are included are well-designed and detailed. This is what I prefer. I prefer small, detailed parts of a larger structure at an affordable price with new minifigs. A big ship I can't afford, and usually the details included are sparse (though the DS was an exception). I do hope they change the "hologram" though. I have the pieces myself (it's a two-piece ball) and it looks nothing like the DS (apart from shape). Probably it's prelim. And I don't care that they didn't include the main minifigs. The ignored, secondary, can't-make-without-new-mold characters are what matters. Plus a chance to get an A-Wing (missed out the first time).

Reiterating what everyone else said...that's a great way to use the Bionicle pieces! Very smooth and curved design. I really like the silver tubing for the "grills" under the Bionicle pieces. I think you could replace the tan with sand red (has someone said this?). Tan maybe more accurate (not sure) but sand red just looks a lot better. Also continuing the silver line would look good. But otherwise great job!

While I do respect Greg for how he puts up with people like those and the partial control he's given us over some aspects of the storyline, I find it hilarious how some members worship him as a god.

Oh, in that case, I like if it's tucked away on the back like on Gresh. I don't mind it on places like Vorox's foot because though I think it's silly to put it somewhere like that, it usually gets us a recolored piece (like tan Metru chest) and it's easy to just pull off. So yes, I'm for it. lol!

I'm not sure what you mean...do the life-counters play some crucial role in winter that is unneeded in summer (I haven't followed the story lately so I don't know). Personally, I prefer them on the set (though without the print or on places like a foot). They sort of resemble gears and reminds me of mechanical armor, so I like it. My revised opinions upon closer examination: Stronius is cool. The club is nice and he reminds me of a midget with a big head. Ackar looks okay I guess. Is that the flame sword that should've been on Tahu? The ankle armor is interesting. Vastus doesn't look as good. I didn't know those were Hordika legs () and I don't like those tentacles on his mask. Sword is okay but not enough to warrant a purchase. Kiina I'm not sure about. What's his chest armor made of? Weapons would be better in blue. Other than that are those three-spiked armor things she has new or are they more of those claws? Gelu is awesome (though the name is meh). His mask is cool (I'm a sucker for T-visors) and all the ice stuff is good too. Though I hope the snowflakes are boomerangs or something like that instead of armor. Mata Nui is okay. His shoulder armor looks interesting. His mask looks like it changed a lot. I'm not sure what his weapons are though. It could make or break the deal for me. Gelu? Please?

Does anyone think the AT-ST could be a two-seater? It looks too narrow for TLC to incorporate one to me.

16? I like all of them better now. That tan thing I like much better now...same with the motorcycle. I want the riders and their helms. I really want those helms now. They look so cool, especially with the ice blue head. The two-headed dog could use a ton more work though. Rest of chariot is a bit messy, but the dog's scheme is a mess. It should be completely green (various shades) with the gunmetal completely isolated on the top and detachable as a harness. I want pics of the other ones now.

The new AT-ST looks great. Shame about the lack of eyeflaps, but it still looks much better than the old one. Will it include a pilot though? The rest of the Endor set looks awesome! Lots of minifigures. Lots of great stuff, like speeder bikes, controls, and the base. Will try to get this one, but probably won't because of price. The Hoth stuff also looks great. Finally, a reasonably cheap seat with snowies! Two snowtroopers is good, as well as Han in his Hoth stuff and the Tauntaun is good too. The Hoth troopers with their visors look nice. A nice, small set that waits for me to buy it! The Neimodian shuttle is smaller than I expected. I'm not sure if the Neimodian is a cartoon-fig. It's probably meant to be, but it doesn't look so bad from here. My opinion may change with a close-up of it. The hat is nice. And another Rodian is a good thing too. I want to see the new tank droid. I have the old one, broken for years now. The new one looks very nice.

The wheeled vehicles look interesting but not Bionicle-ish enough to me. The blue motorcycle with a side-pod is kind of interesting. The tan one with tires I don't like. The yellow speeder bike-ish type thing does look cool. The one on four legs looks the most interesting purely because it's not on wheels, though this one reminds me of exoforce. Out of the canisters, I definitely want the white one and maybe the green one. I don't really have an opinion on the other ones. I really like Metus. Him, the tan guys, and Gresh. Malum's okay too.
