Thank you for a great photo series. I had a walk around in the park a month or two ago, and really enjoyed the Norwegian display: City of Bergen in Norway. Dutch display is rather big, I don't think you have a photo showing the best: Dutch canals. Other great displays are ofcourse a lot of the Danish stuff, all the castles, but also some of the harbour stuff: Nyhavn in Copenhagen. Tower in Esbjerg, Denmark. cheers Front

Thank you 3D Brickthing, we really need somebody mature like you to keep this place a pleasure to visit. Thumbs up to EB "staff". Somebody should send a present all the way down to our new keeper of sanity

I want to state my apologies to everyone that might have been offended by my rant a couple of pages back, especially to Klaus-Dieter. We should all be able to give our view on matters here, without being shouted at by others. And I have to admit that I acted agressive. I have a limited view on the atlantis sets at the moment. I have kind of learnt through the huge amount of 2004-2009 sets that I've built, that you can't really know what a set will be like, by looking at the box. Sometimes I've been plesantly surprised by the building experience, the final look or the neat functions. At other times it has been just opposite, the sets may have lacked a lot in final looks, or been kind of boring and uninspiring to build. What I do like though about sets, are the bricks they are made of. I really like a lot of the different bricks that are currently in productions. There are quite some that I don't like too, but they are surely outnumbered by the good bricks, and in such a way that most sets tend to be a delight from a pure brick-perspective. Not that all sets are equal, regarding value of bricks versus set price. Definately not. But I like the amount of cool new bricks that this new theme presents. I am surely getting multiple of some of the sets for that reason alone. I could also see myself trying to create one big bad-megablocks underwater base moc for the humans. As I could with the Aqua Raiders theme. I love that yellow colour scheme, and like the few sets I've built (I have all sets, but not built). I kind of like to have the bricks of a set in my hands, before I comment. Or at least see the building instructions, or a detailed review here on EB. Train sets are cool, because they have train drivers and tracks. Star wars sets are cool because they've got clones and guns. Bionicle is cool because they got balls. Underwater themes are not un-cool, just because they haven't got indians.

Yes this is Lego, and there are some that are hugely proud of it, and view your opinion as a lot of empty talking. Do you really have to throw the content of your stomach out on everybody that has just praised this new Lego line ? Why not spend your time on something you like ? Front/Diving gear engineer

I think I'll try and find this issue, sounds really interesting. Btw. is brickjournal also available as a pdf or similar document on the web ?

Piraka will be the most popular of all these sets. Well maybe beaten on the finish line by Tahu.

I hope to be able to attend this event. I expect to get the yearly entrance pass to Legoland next year. Not that I need it, haven't got it for 2009, but they are available really inexpensive for me With this pass I can have one other person entering with me for free. But this will mean I will have to be there for the entire event, and I'm not sure how I could attend a 3-4 day event. The 13th is my birthday (and holiday in Denmark in 2010), 14th I think is a working day, but as I'm placed in Techhouse, I'm not that far away from the event. But if I will join you all, I might drive home each night to sleep. I am willing to check if I could do some talk on how we work in Billund, engineering the bricks. If that could be of interest, I could discuss this with Jan Beyer and my bosses.

I think this offer on shop@home is a result of a good relationship between Lego UK and National Autistic Society (in UK).

Great moc of Tintin's dog. When you get more white bricks, you'll have to do an out-off-the-box moc too.

Looks great, the feets are kind of cool.

But this thread is not about 2007.

Was quite some to hear the dissapointments about discontinuation of Pirates mid 2010, knowing that this ship was on its way. I've looked at this set built and on display, and it really looks good.

Lego Creator on steroids. Impressive.

This example only tells me that the fit of the cap on the head is too tight compared to the fit of head on the torso. That sound like bad quality in dimensions, either on the cap or on the head. If it was like that, had you opened it back in '96, is a good question. I know that old bricks (don't ask me from which year), have a different feeling compared to new ones. I've tried it when building with 2x4 bricks, when the old ones are fitted together in a construction, it will squeeze when the construction is twisted, like there is a different kind of friction.

Great review and pictures of this neat set. I like the design and the colours used. Might have to open the set I have and build it myself :-)

You actually believe the voice of a focus group is the reason Lego change some colours ?

I've opened two canisters, taken the contents out, assemblied it, and put it back in the canisters again.

Good job Bonaparte I actually asked Whitefang to have a look at this thread, but see you fixed it. It's not like it's gonna be ages before people see what's up for 2010.

With all respect, why not let the company decide if they see something as confidential or not. And let them decide if they want any leaked information removed from fan-sites. Front

Excellent review, nicely organized, fine pictures. I like the fact that non-bionicle collectors go and and buy this set

Lego got balls

Thank you all for comments. 3D Brickthing is as always quite spot on in his comments on the photographic qualities. Regarding posing, some of the sets are posed really strange, to be able to have a lot of the elements showing up in a close up picture. I guess it can be depicted sometimes, if you look carefully and really know the set. 43: 8727, Toa Jaller. 2006, 2nd half, Canister set. Toa Jaller 44: 8625, Umbra. 2006, Titan set. Umbra 45: 8731, Toa Kongu. 2006, 2nd half, Canister set. Toa Kongu ........ Comments. Jaller looks up. I've always seen his mask as comical. Guess the rings around the eyes does it. Umbra with useless light up swords. Guess I one day will make a mechanism that can light it up with Power Function, although not on a figure. Kongu. Speechless.

Welcome to Eurobricks. I'm not sure I'm familiar with BS01. is it a web site ? Well it turns out it is, and I have been reading some info on it lately. Allow me to post a link: Biosector01 I am kind of a bionicle lad myself.

There will be two thousand and ten sets in 2010.

At the Russian LUG-meeting, the Piraka spines are attached wrongly to the arms. They are rotated 90 degrees, because spikes are supposed to point upwards.
