Yeah, that one's on me. I looked at every picture 
Wait, is the giant yellow thing the battery? Green Lantern isn't my strong suit, so I wouldn't know.
Yeah, each lantern has a personal 'lantern' but the source of their power is from a big power battery...if that makes sense... Hence they are fighting over the evil yellow lanterns source of power.
Man, comics are confusing!
-
Nice! But where is Hal?
Also, I don't see a lantern battery anywhere. Are they battling for the techno blade?
Man, you gotta check out the gallery!
I gave hal a hand/glove becuase I tried to give everyone unique controcts to their personality. I'll have to make a construct harley for guy.

Thanks for the kind words friends!

What are the yellow technic bricks behind the stud wall under wayne mannor, there is some kind of costume swap mechanism (see back of the box) or is it just my wishful thinking?

I found about 10 of the 75052 Jedi defender class cruiser at the toysrus in Derby for £60. Which for a 3 year old set that used to be £100 is really good! If anyone still wants one Get over there before they empty stock!

I didnt take a picture but a few days ago I bought a tub of 2x2 light bley tiles, approximatly 800 (I weighted them all so Its close). Pretty sure they have sold out in sheffield.

I Picked up all the new sets on friday as soon as the lego shop opened (and bionicles aside 30+ people bought the ghostbusters set in the first hour). I have been playing with them since and I think I really enjoy them. I can understand what peoples complaints are about limb length and odd designs but im quite impressed. My personal complaints are the toa look awesome combined but its really hard to play with combined imho. Umrak is an absolute gem, I loved him straight away when i saw a tiny grained pictured and hes great to have in hand...that trap armor
. I have notices my main gripe is the toa hands for the staff sets, i want to be able to move the hand position along the staff/hammer but you cant so I'd really like to see a hollow hand piece for better flexiability. -
Green Lantern assualt on the Yellow Lantern power battery!
I know everyone has the stock outfits, but just pretend they don't guys cause I cant see lego making the full team anytime soon
.
More images here
Thanks, Mightyslickpancake

The omega toa got their golden maskes and decided to train with them to get stronger....by powerlifting....
Onua (Dead lift)
Kopaka (Squat)
(Then back up again)
Tahu (bench press)
Bonus pics
Hope you all enjoyed, this was just a silly idea I had when I first saw they were 'omega/superstrong'.

I really like the new skull baddies, some of the colours are a mess but on the most part I like them (yes even the limbs).
My thoughts about the blended masks are that they are infected masks. The reason we havent seen a Hau or a Kaukau 'infected' is either, thay have more sets to release with them in or in the story only Lewa, Onua, Pohatu and Kopaka get infected leaving Gali and Tahu to cleanse them, bit of a stretch perhaps. I would like to see them all getting blended masks however.
Looking forward to more pictures.

Ok, so I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but you guys know that lovely concept painting? With the Toa looking off towards the city ruins? Well, I noticed something...
*pic removed*
Looks like a face, doesn't it? A quite skull-like face, right? Right?
Thats the Mask of ultimate power!

What on earth is that thing next to Protector Wairuha?
I made a pet for Wairuha!
Akamai seems a bit too masive, but Wairuah is excellent. Protector Akamai is a bit weird because of the colors (especially the arms, with all that trans), but overall they're both pretty good.
Im not a fan of Pohatus and the protector of stones trans green colour scheme,it
Wow! So cool. Theese toa and protectors are amazing!
Thank you very much!
looks really wierd in a kaita I will deffinatly agree.
-
Fantastic work, That turtle is hypnotic to look at! Its really awsome seeing stuff like this, it shows off really well how high end builds can be made out of CCBS and I hope your build encourage LEGO and other people that CCBS is acctually an interisting system to use.
Question QQS; Whilest you have had this opportunity, what are your thoughts on the parts you have had to build? Was it a chore to build some models or were you winishing that you had some type of bone piece that doesnt exist?
-
Akamai certainly uses a lot of the parts from the three sets. He looks a bit stiff, though the way you built the legs is quite an interesting representation of the original Akamai's legs. His arms also look quite thin, it's hard to image his ability to lift up that massive weapon on his left. Interesting to see that you also tried building a weapon out of the heads to mimic the original.
I do like that hammer on the Protector Akamai.
Thanks, Akamai is horrendous to try and move and pose, arms are indeed too skinny and dont work too well at lifting his weapons. The main problem was the legs and torso were done first and then i ran out of any good bones and I didnt want to use non set parts. I only read your own Akamai after I posted and I saw you had a similar idea with the heads which was awesome!
I am hoping some designers at lego are sat together coming up with good kaita combiner models, I had fun memories of them as a kid cause they just felt so powerful and massive (to a little kid).

Goodevening all,
Me and my brother bought the new bionicle sets over a week ago (in the UK) and we have been really enjoying them, however we have been discussing the supposed 'combiners' that lego are currently using with the toa + protectors weapons. We decided to have a go at building them both and some kaita of the protectors.

Wairuha
Protector Akamai
Protector Wairuha
Battle!
I hope you like them, more images can be found on brickshelf as soon as its public.

Well if you think about it, with the new heads they use and the fact that their eyes launch the masks off, they couldn't use the origional vahi because the eye launcher wouldn't hit the mask off and it would look really wierd. For the story reason for the full mask, I have no idea.
-
The voices seems different in each video, Kopaka talked different in both videos he was in, which is a little strange imho. However as I am british I adore these voices, I would love to see yorkshire and scotish accents for future characters and a female voice for gali.
-
Needs more galidor! haha
But I really like it, top work!
-
Silly lego, that's not how you draw mata nui....
But seriously that incrediably beautiful and I hope we see more images in HD soon, like this from the FB site.

Im not sure what otherpeoples opinions are but the middle 3 pannels and the bottom middle pannels appear to be people making some kind of brew and sneaking it into the pool club through the barbers? The one with the hat is giving the barber money outside the shop as well!! so this is some kind of lego prohebition? Seems like a strange thing for lego to do? eitherway, something is being hidden in those barrels and it isnt good.

"Team Fortress 2 is centered around two opposing teams competing for an objective. These two teams are meant to represent a demolition and a construction company as a part of the backstory: Reliable Excavation Demolition (RED) and Builders League United (BLU). Players can choose to play as one of nine classes in these teams, each with their own unique strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and roles" - Wiki
TF2 maps have a similar and fairly consistant art scheme so its safe to say this map isnt based of a specific scene but I took inspiration for quite a lot of maps, the most noticable being; Dustbowl, Badwater and Upward.
With all that information in mind, like Saxton Hale himself, lets jump straight into the action!
Blu Team are pushing against red who are defending their Inteligance briefcase (Basicly a flag in CTF).
Demoman Drinking on the Job and a Heavy Medic combo pushing against a Scout.
Pyro doing well spy checking!
"Snipings' a good job mate!".
Sniper poking out the window, engineer builidng a level 3 sentry and a Spy about to kill the engineer. The blue engineer below (myself) is stealing the briefcase!
Red medic respawning...again...
Teams!
Demoman, Heavy, Medic, Engineer, Spyand Pyro.
Scout, Soldier, Spy, Sniper, Engineer and medic.
I hope you enjoyed it, let me know what you think and check out the Brickshelf page

in this video of the story,
( yeah i know everyone has posted it a billion times) at 0:35 it looks like a vahi in the background! #reading_too_much_into_things -
I don't know. The hands look pretty similar to the classic CCBS hands.
Well I have no idea, I never bought HF
-
Has anyone had a good look at the hands? It appears to me that the axle hole isnt restricted so the axle can go all the way though the fist, which is really nice. Ontop of this they have 4 fingers and a thumb, looks aesthetically nicer than 3 fingers. Something else thats bugging me is im sure the gap between the axle hole and the ball joint is empty, if thats the case then you could get another axle in that hole and it would be free moving. That would open up some very good posing for charaters with staffs, they could hold the staff in one hand and have it free floating in the other! I could be completly wrong, but thats what im seeing.
Bionicle 2016 Sets Discussion
in LEGO Action Figures

Wow! these are getting saved. Initial impressions are they look cool but the beasts dont feel bionicle-y to me yet. Hopefully they will grow. Umrak and Ekimu took some 'roids! Ekimu is serious power over 9000 now!
Edit: Just figured out Umrak is wearing the mask of control....but more mutated.
