Omicron Squad Leader

Correct. P.S. It's spelt 'Minotaur', when I said 'MY-NO-TOR', I was just spelling out the pronunciation.

Which? My-no-tor or mi-na-tar? If the latter... On topic, yet again, if I get XT4, I will try and use his torso to make Matoran-esque guys for Hero Factory, as I expect many other will, too. I like experimenting will small parts.

That's okay, legomilk, I liked the music!

I wonder if, after the Breakout theme is finished, and presumably a Villain Factory-esque arc, too, if Hero Factory will return to elemental-themed lines like Ordeal of Fire and Savage Planet, or continue with themes emcompassing multiple powers and elements. Just something to ponder, if Hero Factory continues for a while. What do you guys think? On a completely unrelated note, as a Briton, I've always hated how 'Minotaur' is spelt and pronounced in American English. It's MY-NO-TOR! Not MI-NA-TAR!

Those things you pointed out aren't real criticisms, they're qualities of a video review. That's like complaining about pizza because it's pizza, not because of the taste. If you don't like pizza on the whole, don't eat it at all. If you don't like video reviews on the whole, don't watch them at all. It's not the reviewer's fault. P.S. That's pretty egotistical of you to classify reviewers' opinions as "lame". When was it declared that your opinion is superior to anyone else's? It's also a pretty vapid generalisation. YouTube gets far more traffic than sites like this, and it doesn't accept pictorial reviews, so it's logical for some people to upload video reviews there. Some folks prefer them. Your criticism about him going over the packaging/parts for too long is justified, but to group that with all video reviews is unfair and just...erroneous, really. Also, pictorial reviews aren't exactly "entertaining", are they? So why do video reviews have to be? Sure, it brightens the atmosphere up a bit, but it's kind of a one-sided argument, in my opinion.

The reviewers bug you because they have a different opinion?

I think it looks terrible.

Go to 3:07. Voilà.

Hey, Dreadscythe, it seems you were right about Stormer XL having a grey torso piece, and pretty much everything else you said about his build.

I was referring to the debate that was created in the first place, specifically by you. I agree with Gata in both regards.

You would have thought they would choose a less obscure line if it was just to "fill the air"? It's clear that it wasn't intended to be amusing, as "-and it was my first day on the job and everything." is not funny in any sense of the word, unlike the original line, and due to all of the other scenes panning into Mission Control only having techno-noises in the background, we can conclude that having "background chatter" wasn't collateral to the creators. Also, if you actually watch the clip, you can see that the speaker uses the exact same model as the miner in OoF, and has a very similar voice actor. Why does this even need to be debated? The truth is blatantly obvious, and it's only a trivial little titbit. *sighs*

It was a reference, otherwise it wouldn't have even been there. Period. In other news, the combiners are nothing special.

Basically, as the camera pans into Mission Control during the scene when Zib is assigning the Heroes their missions, an extra says "-and it was my first day on the job and everything", referencing the first scene in OoF when a miner says "Sorry, it's my first day on the job." AKA, he was the miner present when the Fire Villains attacked.

Have any of you picked up on the 'Ordeal of Fire' reference in 'Breakout' yet?

No congratulations to Matt Smith, then?

I wouldn't say Hero Factory is better than BIONICLE, per se, but each to their own. Interesting. Thank you for the new information, Aanchir.

I am utterly surprised by this. Ninjago is doing nearly as well as Bionicle did in its first few years, and it is already being planned to end? I expect that we'll still see at least one wave of 2013 sets, but this is still the first theme-ending that I simply cannot think of a legitimate reason for. LEGO had better give me one.

The Doom Box now has a cover.

To me, it sounds like most of what the Pop industry is currently churning out. (Most of which is, in my opinion, garbage.)

I don't like either of them; I'm not into that sort of music.

I prefer Dr Pepper. :3 If I were you, I wouldn't bother. Something will pop up online when they're out somewhere, and who knows? Maybe the US will get them first this year; they have done with many other sets.

It did, somewhat, in episode 5, 'Ordeal of Fire'.

If you guys want, I can review the Ultra Sonic Raider. This is only if you're not sick of the countless video reviews.

I wouldn't say getting a term and a name wrong makes an article 'terrible', especially when the term 'Bionicles' is commonplace; my parents always referred to them as such. It is colloquial.

North America and the rest of Europe got them in July. P.S. I'm surprised you bothered to make that picture.
