Hydrobius

No more so than Yetrax was. I mean, sure, everyone was happy for moar new yellow pieces, yes, but... really, they had a slot in which to do something with, and they give us a dupe set in a different color. I was dissapointed, anyways...

1) They're being called legends because we had to call them "Glatorian something" to keep Glatorian in the name, and Legends tied in nicely with the name of the movie. 2) Yes 3) I don't know of any titan sets being released in summer. We have the six canister sets, the vehicle sets, and I think a larger version of the Mata Nui model, but I can't think of any new titan characters that I know about. Maybe there are store exclusives I am not familiar with yet. 4) All of them can, most of them do 5) You mean like Rahi? No, they just call them animals or beasts, we are not making up a special name for them. ^ From the OGD (Mezistrakk) ^ YES ... I know people had suspicions some time back, but... this may revive those! Question is, though, why was he not at Toyfair? And... will the larger version possibly be gold, for all of you who have been screaming that he should be? =P

Alright, if I can stop coughing/hyperventilating long enough, I can give my thoughts on these guys. (I'm sick, and literally jumping out of bed like I just did isn't too good for you xD) Kiina: Um... well. Not so impressive anymore, sorry. Mask is just bleh for me, but those new joint pieces are WANT. Same with the new armor. Recolors are always win, as with the rest of the line. Sadly, though, these do not bring her much, seeing as the torso just... ew... 6.5/10 Vastus: Hm... interesting. Mask is a little odd, but I like it, for reasons that are hard to explain. The Scythe is complete win; as are the recolors on him. Legs need help, as does the torso, but most of what he has to offer (new shoulder armor) makes up for it. 7.5/10 Stronius: WHOA. That is one BAD*** CLUB. Plus, he has Metru-Red as his side color, which I feel is a lot better than Mata-Red. Little less obnoxious, IMO. Helmet is great (reptilian feel, as some have said) and the body design is pleasing for the most part. I believe he has new body armor, too, so that's something to look forward to. 8/10 Ackar: Again, I lept off my bed on this one - FLAMESWORD DONE RIGHT. YES!!! Forget the fact that he has a recolored Berix mask (which, in all honesty, looks better on him than is does the former), the sword takes the cake. As does the fact that practially everything on his body is recolored! For once, the Mata-Red/Orange looks good to me. I haven't been this pleased with a Fire set since Tahu Mata. Very simple, but he pulls it off well. Ackar has just possibly taken Gresh's mantle. xD 9/10 Gelu: HOLY SHI- ... The heltmet is what sent me over the edge. I'm not sure what it is, but... I LOVE it. LUVLUVLUV LUV it. The blades are nice, too, and for a simply-designed set, he pulls it off great. A better version of Ackar, IMO. The Metus-blades on his shoulders add a nice touch, and I'm kind of happy that they only have half-blades instead of whole ones; it allows more posibility (sp?). He is win all around for me. 10/10 Mata-Nui: Regardless of what you all think, I was privately hoping that he would be Keetorange... and HE IS! YAY! I can actually live with myself now; knowing that Lego has done Mata-Nui right. I'm very happy about the newly colored orange libms; always wanted those for MOCs. Shoulder armor is great, as is the mask.... I luv it. 9.5/10 For the Glatorian Legends, I'm getting them all. Then again, I'm a collecter, so I'd get them all anyways. xD Vehicles were... are... underwhelming, for the most part. I was REALLY hoping Skopio would be bigger; but for now, it just seems... lacklustre, for lack of a better term. Thornatus is the one that looks the most promising right now, but... as I said, the canisters are where my excitment truly lies. That, and the amazingly awesome DVD cover. It already looks 1000 times better than the last three; and I REALLY hope it turns out that good. =)

HOLY SHI- (Don't take this as spam, but...) WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE AWESOME

Hi Basilisk, Thanks for the kind words. Right now, I am thinking I will be back in a few weeks, most likely. Feb. is very busy for me anyway, and then I have to go away for a week for work (so wouldn't be on here anyway). Things should calm down some in March. Greg Yeah, yeah, I sound like a suckup... well, I felt bad, whether or not his leave sounded dramatic or not. Least we know that he will be coming back for sure, now... I still feel bad for him, though; and the senario that InnerRayg suggusted might not be far wrong tat this point - he DOES seem stressed like hell...

Um... I know this is kinda random, but someone suggusted in the OGD that the symbol of the map-thing that Tarduk found - you know, the one with the 'webbing' could be the Bohrok Swarm Symbol. Greg did say that it would be something that was straing us in the face, SO... Yeah. And, btw, I thought it was confirmed that Gelu was a boy... he can't be the girl. My bet is still on Kiina. Or Stronius. xD

My quick thoughts: Stronius: Eh... still not digging him. Club is nice, though; seems too cluttered otherwise for my tastes. 6.5/10 Ackar: Meh. Inika Clone. The Sword/colors sorta try to make up for it, but it's not enough. Face is a little wierd too, IMO. 7/10 Vastus: HOLY SHI- ... He just went from Epic Phail to Epic win. Not really sure what did it - the scythe, the helmet, the lack of a typical body (so I can tell...) I really like him all of a a sudden. MAYBE even more than Gresh, we'll have to see. 8.5/10 Kiina: Ew... NOT digging the mask; but all else is fine. Some nice new armor/weapons, and... A NEW TORSO?! 7.5/10 Gelu: MY. GOD. HE. IS. AWESOME. I luv him; nothing bad to say... that is one NICE mask, too. 10/10 Mata-Nui: Aw... no new head. That was my hope, shoot me if you must. xD He's... alright, just not my cup of tea. Honestly, I liked Vorox better than him. Ah, well, he's OK overall - I just want the Ignika. 8/10 Cendox: The mask is awesome; only reason I'll be getting the set. Otherwise, Vultraz repeat. 4/10 Kaxium: Still don't like it. No, no no... not Bionicle for me; probably won't be getting it. 5/10 Thornatus: Hmmm... my opinions have changed on it. I like it; moreso than Jetrax. A better version, methinks. 8/10 Skopio: Driver is meh, but the actual vehicle is great. Still wish it was Tan/Gunmetal though... :( 9.5/10

Um, dude... he's wearing the Ignika, remember? xD

IMO, most of the serials last year were pretty good - specially' FoF. It just seemed like they got... I dunno, a little sloppy near the end, seeing as Greg was on such a tight schedual. *CoughDestinyWarCough*

The only way I'll be happy with Skopio completely is if they change the color scheme to either A: Tan for Skopio, Metru Blue for Driver, OR, Gunmetal for Skopio, Tan for driver. The latter would be AWESOME... I'm surprised they haven't made any gunmetal vehicles yet; they'd be awesome.

On their own? Incredible. While on him? Eh... depends. From some angles, it looks great, but in others... you might want to modify it somehow so it's on the sides of his shoulders, not the front. Overall, though, I'm happy with them, seeing how good they look, IMO. =) Edit: Looking at Ikki's post, Greg basically said that those shapeshifters ARE GB-created. Isn't that new, considering that he said that the Glatorian/Agori aren't? (I think)

As long as Skopio is some monster-badass Scorpion with a Vorox rider (Something capable of eating the Axalara for breakfast =P), or something like that... I'll be content. I'm alright with somevehicles, but I'd prefer to maybe have more of a variety this time. Assuming that, of course, there has to BE vehicles. xD Any word from whats-his-face yet? I'm eating myself up cause' of those teaser pics...

I'm a little dissapointed about the lack of a new mold, but oh well. Besides, a Gold Ignika is pretty cool... any of you think it may still have the problem the one from Toa Ignika had, with the mold being crooked? Let's hope not... >_> Edit: I bet money he is either Pohatu or Keetongu orange, not gold. I just have a feeling, after seeing that pick...

Mind if you put it here, if you can? I wanna see it. xD

5KRM1X ...for those who wanted it.

*Breaks up discussion* Question for you all: Any of you have Fero/Skirmix yet? I just got mine, and despite my previous thoughts, I am in LOVE with Skirmix. He's so cute. >3 I really like the feel he has to him, and turned out a lot better than I expected. Tuma, however.... >_<

I just think they may be hands because it seems to be one joint (from his arm to the weapon) snd it curves a little bit, and seems a bit long for an old MU hand. That, and I may be seeing things, but I think that the ridges of the fingers may be visible. I just really want to see his face! It's attached all wierd, so seeing it will be nice... as with leaked pics of the bigger sets. Come on, someone wants to get fired in order to show us those! xD

Seems now that I look that he has black hands, too... makes up for the fact that Skrall's came in red.

Anyone see the new piece that is behind the hewkii blades, facing us? It's a sort of circle shape with two stems; kinda reminds me of what Onua Mistika had on his blaster. There's even a laser mounted on it. And, whatever his shoulder armor is (awesome, IMO) he appears to have a silver version of it in his other hand...

Well, I can. Not to sound all stupid, but you did click on the link, right?

You're not the only one who saw chipmunks... xD I'm diggin' the Cactus-things, too... the lines were a little cheesy, but overall, I LOVED it. Nostalgia ftw. *Does happydance*

*Facepalm* Of course he looks bad, his neck is a peg lower than it should be... take it from me; I have my Tarix in-hand right now.

The UDD map/symbol? At least, that was the impression I got.

I think I have an idea as to what you're talking about, but... a screenshot would help. The playsets had a LOT of weapons, so...

Jinzo even got a mention over jow much he's been rooting for the new hands. =P
