Hello guys and gals, I have been away form eurobricks a long time, life being life and jobs being what they are, I could never find the time. However, I still played and bought loads of lego since. I just decided that with my favourite theme bionicle returning I would get back into the community. I love mechanical stuff, I am a maintince engineer by trade at a large steel plant, its like big metal lego . I love working on cars and motorbikes as a hobbie....and erm.....I like lego? Thats me in a nutshell, I cant wait to get back into stuff here, I have loads of mocs to show off . Thanks for your time everyone and hello again!

Hello all, Its been a while. Ok, I love this game. However I am having a major issue with level 8 (Superman vs Lex Luthor's ship). I can manage the first stage fine, where I have to shoot at the different parts of the ship. However, when I move onto the inside of the aircraft there is a cutscene - Starts at around 6:30 - But this doesnt happen for me. The pilot just stands there and wond go inside the helicopter so I cannot break it down and continue further through the level. I have restarted this level from the begining 3 times and when I saved from that point. And idea what I can do? Because I really dont want to start again. Other than that the game is great Thanks, CB

Unfortunatly, I wasn't able to get to my local (not really local ) sainsburys until 6:30pm! There was almost nothing left, sets on the floor (im pretty sure I saw some blood as well ). Thankfully, I got Ninja Ambush and Repair Truck for a total of around £8. Not really what I wanted, but I couldn't aford to say no . Nice one to all those who got the full benifit of the deals Thanks, CB

Has anyone though about making other Green Lantern characters? As most of the parts included in Hal Jordan green lantern, seem very interchangeable. I suppose the head part may prove difficult, but using some green (or another suitable colour) kanohi mask could give the effect of a alien look. Anyway, these superheros (They should probably make a female ultrabuild sometime, to balance it out)look great and I cant wait until they are released, whenever that may be. Thanks, CB

I love the ones we are getting already, they are really superb! I would like so many different super heroes, but the one I want most is - The green lantern core! Prehaps, 5-7 diferent lanterns? (including Hal Jorden and Sinestro) Possibly even a guardian or two! Oh I can dream Thanks CB

Thnak you so, so much . I missed the orgional pics. Most of these seem really cool! Im not an action figure expert so, I wont say too much about there looks - But roll on 2012! Thanks, CB

Hey everyone! I just got the version of Onua mistaka and I got out my Kopaka Phantoka to go along with him and I realised that Kopaka hadn't been reviewed..So here they are! Onua will be done soon Kopaka Mata Theme: Bionicle Set name: Kopaka Number: 8536 Series: Toa Mata Year: 2001 Pieces: 33 Price: £4.99/$7 BOX: First off, the box. If the box doesn't grab your attention then you may not buy it...So how does it look? The front of the box looks nice, with Kopaka in an awesome, chilled out pose http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/crabboy329/Bionicle-reviews/Kopaka/Kopaka-mata/kopaka_02.jpg An interesting feature is the way that the outer box 'skin' slides around so you can see The other toa and special codes. Can lid Can lid 2 The can lids can hold the mask of the toa and has axle holes for many uses, that you will see later. INSTRUCTIONS Same picture as the can, but thats not a bad thing. Random instructions page. Toa Kaita instrucions page. SET The canister has just washed up and the parts have fallen out, so what does it make? Half done, but looks cool! WOW! A true Toa is formed. A really nice mask and weapons! From the back. Not much here, but nice look with the cogs. The only action function with the set, but what would you expect? Overall: Colours scheme - 10/10 Nothing much here, but as a Toa of ice its perfect! Parts - 8/10 Well designed, Nothing wrong with the parts. Design - 7/10 At the time it would be a 20/10! But from we have now, it leaves alot to be desired. Articulation - 5/10 There isnt much, but I love the cog function. Its a shame that has gone. Quality - 10/10 I have owned this game for 10 years and the parts are 100% pine, no cracks. So well done lego . Price - 10/10 Really worth it for that price (back in the day and now)! Overall: 50/60 To me it is a 50/50 as its my favourite lego set , But Compaired to modern sets, it dont stack up well . Kopaka Nuva Theme: Bionicle Set name: Kopaka Number: 8571 Series: Toa Nuva Year: 2002 Pieces: 43 Price: $8/£4.99 BOX First off, the box. If the box doesn't grab your attention then you may not buy it...So how does it look? Kopaka looks epic, skiing down a mountain with his new nuva armor. INSTRUCTIONS Same picture on the front with all the nuva masks on the back! Random page and the Toa Kaita nuva! SET So the set is built, how fun is it? Here he looks like a beefed-up version of himself, which is a good thing! Back, The spare cogs is a nice thing so the arm is held in place! The skis! His spear can be taken apart and made into a pair of skis which that attach to his feet with some techinc pins. Here and here Overall: Colours scheme - 10/10 Nothing much here, but as a Toa of ice its perfect! Parts - 9/10 With the new parts, the score is upped by one. (I dont like the mask as much, but the rest is awesome) Design - 7/10 Very similar to his mata version, but I like that. Articulation - 5/10 Limited just like mata, So just the same I think. Quality - 10/10 I have owned this game for 10 years and the parts are 100% pine, no cracks. So well done lego . Price - 10/10 Amazingly its the same price as his previous version, but with more parts ! Overall: 51/60 Great set, Im not sure if I prefer it to Mata, But its great . Kopaka Phantoka Theme: Bionicle Set name: Kopaka Number: 8685 Series: Toa Phantoka Year: 2008 Pieces: 54 Price: £7.79/$12.99 BOX First off, the box. If the box doesn't grab your attention then you may not buy it...So how does it look? The nice looking vines are just an attachment that fit onto the front of the box. The back has all the boring stuff and shows off the ability to attach solek to double the power! (Gotta love the marketing scheme) INSTRUCTIONS Nothing much here. But looks fine . Dont build on grass . Very nice advert, simple but gets it across. Also the mahri are still being advertised which is unusual. As well as the Toa Ignika. SET Basic body we all love and hate . The chest piece reminds me of the nuva chest armor. The wings are SWEET! . One of the best part of the set! "Come at me bro!" Flight Kopaka and Solek look brilliant, I am so glad I got both . A few pics of Solek: 1, 2 and 3. Sadly all of his joints that connect to his chect are cracked in two places each . Overall: Colours scheme - 8/10 Not sure, The grey is fine but maybe there should be just a bit less? Parts - 9/10 Most of what we have seen before, but the new ones are great . Although what the heck happened to his mask? Design - 8/10 Deja vu, anyone? Articulation - 10/10 13 points of articulation of fine and what I would expect, he can get into some awesome poses! Quality - 8/10 My version has a couple of cracked parts , but nothing major. Price - 9/10 I would buy this set in a heartbeat, so its worth it . Overall: 44/60 Awesome set! Nice change to Kopaka (I bet you are sick of his name by now ) Great touch with solek. Final Thoughts Kopaka is my favourite Toa and I am glad to have him in all his forms. I cannot choose which is my favourite as they all are. The review is rather rushed but its getting late and Im just a bad reviewer , so and constructive critisism is ok... But I do have feelings. Brickshelf here Final Pics, Wow kopaka, you have grown! So has your box. I wasn't too keen on kopaka only having a gun and no real second weapon, So this is a quick change I did. Thanks, CB

I wish, the game has had a free trail option for nearly a month now. You get access to the first to game levels, rather restricive - but it is a trail. Word of warning (to everyone) If you download the free trail/ full game, then when the patcher opens click the button 'options' and change the first dropdown menu to 'full download' not 'ingame download'. Thanks, CB

WOW! Awesome, the colours are perfect . I cant wait to see how this turns out - Mahri anyone? ok, just me - Thanks, CB Edit: Oh, and it compliments my Sig-fig

WOW! it looks really nice . But I do have a soft spot for LU related stuff...Obviously. I cant wait to see #002 Thanks, CB

I also saw that video today, much by chance - and I loved it! I found it really entertaining watching Jay trying to talk to Nya and lik you said Aancir that its good to see Nya kicking come butt ! Bring on more episodes! Anothr point I would like to raise, is the the tie-in with Lego Universe for the update comming in the next few months - Although there is already some ningago content in LU at the moment, it isnt a whole world! - But apperently these enemies are different to what we have already seen. Some concept pics here. Of course this is a markeing scheme, but it may be really fun! I also wonder if 2012 ninjago will influence the game in anyway. Thanks, CB - the LU addicted freak!

No one has got round to saying how awesome it is . This is really cool Nice red landscape and fig posing - The green aliens are very hard to pose . But I absolutly love the Alien bosses chair! Keep up the good work Thanks, CB

Higher than level 40 is impossible, I got two out of four of my guys at level 40 (other two at 39/38). However once you reach level 40 you dont gain more U-score but you just gain a higher percantage of money then you perviously would have. A basic example is a RttVE mission, and level before 40 and you would get 400 coins and 80 U-score for completing a mission. Whilest at level 40 you get 0 U-score and 2800 coins. Which is a really good way to earn money - be level 40 and do dailies. I agree about the capes, they only work for a minorty of classes. I wish they were like in the concept art :- As it would look 110% better than now. Although I have bought a samurai cape, I think the armor looks better and I DONT recomend buyig any faction cape. Another point - Spider boss! What do you all think? Crabboy329

Despite not knowing whats going on, I must say the scenes and minifigs are stunning!! Great work Thanks, CB

WOW! Really awesome scene, Great addition to your other MOC. I just think a few more ground shots may show off the scene better. Anyway great work Thanks, CB

Aww man, thats terrible news! Sorry for bugging ya about the pictures . Like everyone else has said, I hope you can get as much of your lego back to prestine condition. As well I would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to do such a thing, as im sure it must be costly . Thanks, CB

But where are the women??? Back to Hound Knight, Really awesome fig! I have laughed muiltiple occasions looking at this . You can't win more than this, well prehaps the real Charlie can . Thanks, CB

Hello all. I recently won £20.00 worth of vouchers for shops, Problem is they are shops I dont go to. I found that one of the applicable shops sell some lego. I am not wanting to spend much more than the £20.00 and the only sets that interest me are 7914, 7914 and 2516. The sets are on special half price offer so im not sure which two to get?? Any helps? Thanks, CB

Thanks, JEB . It is very towny, if you either watch the video or look at the pictures. Also there is very little difference between this and a LDD MOC, only this is third person view and has rendering. It took me about two weeks on constantly changing little bits to get it perfect. However the main build only took 6-8 hours. Hey, I got my Samurai prop. Isnt that Sentinel enough and you helped build this as you sentinels saved Avant for us engineers . Thanks, CB

Heya guys, I dont often buy castle sets but I have just won the auction of 3053, 1186, 6083 and 6089 only for about £90 (all from the same dude!). Im very happy about this as I have heard to huge prices some people have had to pay for sets from the Ninja theme. I really cannot wait for these sets to arrive and I can add more Samurai to my already packed Battle, 合計虐殺 . Thanks, CB

You wont regret it Thanks, CB

Sorry guys for double posting, I just got some pictures to help you see it better . Assembly sign Crane] Site bottom Crane..again More :D Road Thanks, CB

Would you guys mind commenting on this. Its plummiting through the forums pretty fast and no one has commented Thanks, CB
