IGN.com. It's a screenshot from an upcoming LEGO game.

Nice work there. I guess this may mean we haven't seen the Squidman yet, which is exciting. This theme will have a lot of aliens.

? I can't see "squidman" there, but I sure hope that cyclops isn't the squidman. :/

Yes, that's what I was thinking of.

Yes, it's just a better look at Squidman.

There are a LOT of overused words in Bionicle, but "legend" definitely takes the cake.

From the new LEGO DS game.

Nothing, beyond assumption. But I know that LEGO put a pretty big investment into Power Miners- meaning worldwide distribution, advertisements, etc. I have a feeling that LEGO won't put as much into Space Police III, because if they were, you'd think they'd push to make it available everywhere. Distribution does cost money, but then, it still doesn't make much sense that they would only distribute to SOME parts of Europe. Quite silly.

I don't know how well Mars Mission did, but the presence of a second wave makes me think it sold fairly enough. I think Space Police III is very much an experiment, which is probably why LEGO doesn't want to spend much money on it, and why some toy stores aren't picking it up. I wish LEGO would give us an official reason WHY they're not distributing it worldwide.

Agents was the best NEW theme. It was well realized and really nicely executed... just didn't appeal to me that much. Best overall theme was probably still... Agents. Although I liked Mars Mission more because I'm a Spacer, I still can't deny that MM's color scheme and alien figs are terrible, whereas Agents has an awesome color scheme and great bad guy figs. :P Star Wars = overrated TRASH. I hate license themes. LEGO doesn't have to steal Lucas's ideas to be good.

I saw that a few days ago. Failblog is brilliance.

aw snap Oh well, it is indeed exciting, and I look forward to wiping out Castlers with my fleet of Galactic Mediators.

http://ds.ign.com/articles/950/950960p1.html This sounds amazing.

I'll review Hyperspeed Pursuit if I can get it fast enough.

I think there's still a good chance the UK will be able to order their SPIII form S@H.

And? It's "to scale", which I think is awesome considering LEGO's minifig-to-vehicle scale often seems completely disproportionate.

This is a very strange move. Why only release it to part of Europe? It's almost like a sick joke. I wonder if they'll be available at S@H in these countries, or at LEGO Brand stores. I can't see why not. It's possible they'll pull another Dino 2010, and remove all of the weapons in favor of clunky looking cages for the criminals. If that's the case I feel extremely sorry for these unfortunate countries. This seems like, above all else, an absolutely retarded and nonsensical marketing decision. Unless there's some other, more technical reason such as contracts or distribution costs, this is one of LEGO's lower moves.

That game is actually pretty nice!

It's called Ebay my friend.

No big loss. I'd love for Nintendo to get a Metroid license or something, though.

You do realize that Bionicle had the exact same disks in 2001, right? Don't bash Throwbots plz, I like them quite a bit better than many recent Bionicle waves.

You might call it ugly, but it's not nonsensical; all of the vehicles are consistent. There's no disgusting pile of random colors like there are in the Mobile Devastator. I simply feel that, from what we've seen, the Command Rig is more realized than the Devastator, though not by much. It seems less... jumbled. Not that I think it's an extraordinary set. The Summer PW wave seems much less inspired than the Winter wave. Same goes for Bionicle. I hope Agents isn't affected by this downhill trend.

I think the official cow looks a little more... erm... three dimensional, if that makes sense. More rounded and cow-like.

What a unique idea. I want to make something like this, now.
