  1. I didn't see this posted anywhere, but I bring news that those rare Brickmaster books [both of them] are apparently available in the U.S. [sorry if it's old news] My mom came across them while at a Borders in the Colonial Promenade Shopping Center in Athens, GA. Apparently there were many and many of them. They were selling for $25, which really isn't the best PpP at 140 pieces, but it's a rare set that's been going for $40ish on Bricklink. It's even better with the 25% off coupon [that ends today sadly]. So yea, first instance of hearing that they had those in the U.S. [-TA-]
  2. Saw it on Sunday, Spoilering my review. That's pretty much all I can say. I'd go watch it if I haven't [-TA-]
  3. Well I'm thinking about grabbing TLR at TRU on Saturday, but I don't know what Legends to get. =/ I'm getting Ackar in the mail soon, and I got Stronius. Gelu is unappealing [Except for those... 3 pieces?], and Vastus is Bleh. So I'm not sure if I want Mata Nui or Kiina. Thoughts? [-TA-]
  4. *Copypaste* Don't mess with her. My version of good ol' Tufi Piyufi for BBC55. With her standard Orange Huna, but set in a futuristic/ BZ-Metru kind of tone. Yes it incorporates system, but it's not over 25%. She sports a standard shielded power glove [it's so bad], and then a dual gun for shooting down rule breakers. And yes, the Torso is a Huna flickr gallery contains all pics, Here's the brickshelf gallery for those who prefer it [and like to wait]. Selected pictures: Entry Pic Gun Arm Right Side Left Side Back [-TA-]
  5. If you're talking about the shield, it looks like he just took a long exposure and spun it. The sword build is pretty obvious, so I'm guessing you mean the shield. [-TA-]
  6. You know what? If Vastus's helm had not plastic connecting the cheek and the foreheard, to make the eye holes, and the snakeheads were a little less wonky and so far out, I bet it would look cooler. -Gimps- Yay for crappy 30minute jobs. And here's original [-TA-]
  7. Well, being born at the end of the Spyrius line, I can say I remember looking through those wonderful catalogs at the UFO and Insectoids lines. First Space set I got was Space Simulation Station from Space port, before the turn of the century. I enjoyed the set immensely, rebuilding it to new Space crafts. Truly looking at the olden sets though, and from a MOCer's POV. I'm sure all you have fond fond memories of classic space, as children. But in terms of sets, I do think recent sets, with much sleeker designs, neat functions, articulation [when it matters], distinct figures truly do mean more. [-TA-]
  8. Well it looks like pictures of the set are roaming the web, first found on smarth's B-shelf I know most of you are going to be disappointed in the Zurg and Buzz sets calling them Bionicle-y and slightly reminiscent of Exo-Force. What can I say, most people hate Bionicle. >.> EDIT: Beaten. :P [-TA-]
  9. Am I the only one that liked the Toa Mistika? o.o They had some sweet masks, [Never got Gali], useful weapon pieces [Tahu Shield Blades, Onua's shield], introduced the versatile jets in 2 colors and fins in 3. Onua also had his sweet chest armor. The Makuta side also brought some neat colors, pieces and designs. [-TA-]
  10. Well looks like leaks are starting to spread; I just saw a couple of SW ones on Bshelf. ._. I hope we'll see them soon enough. >.> That way we can rant about how _______ looks like a ________ and how that's not ________ and how differing opinions are absolutely WRONG. [-TA-]
  11. I like the Whoosh looks of the Axalara Miru Nuva though. I'd say it has the most Whoosh factor out of almost all the masks. And the Faxon. Probably one of the most beautiful mask in recent years. [-TA-]
  12. It changes weekly I'd say, from whatever pieces they have in excess. They are always $8 bags. That was a nice grab there though, especially those wheels. Most of the time, the ones I see are filled with a bunch of trans studs. >.> [-TA-]
  13. Pohatu's mask is definitely reminiscent of Onewa Metru's Komau. And whoa, I must not read or something. This entire time I thought "Telluris" was "Tellerius" in my had, until I tried searching for it on Biosector. >.> And Sahmad, I don't understand how he could be much of a threat. He has Spikit. That's it. He's an Agori. >.> We've yet to see Perditus too, I think. [-TA-]
  14. And of course we can trust Wikipedia. >.> Was it from there, or did someone add it to Wikipedia? =/ [-TA-]
  15. I'd head over to Technic or Lego General Discussion and look for a topic. This topic was before the Bionicle/Technic Split, and this is currently Bionicle now. I've had some fun with Lego Sumo before, nothing organized like FLL, but it's a lot of fun. Mostly because we had a couple Mindsotrms 2.0 bricks, and the Robots would explode in fights. [-TA-]
  16. Heh, i find MOCs that can incoprorate Bionicle, System and Technic to be some of the most amazing, because of the shapes from each. Yea I like the waist too, and believe it or not was based off this [The waist part] Thank you. Pretty much started with the head as some sort of Armature, but then changed that when I did the body and upper legs. I'm glad I hit the proportions well. Thanks. Thanks. Yep, your last statement is completely true. This MOC could have been made in 2006, with the part usage. ._. He'll be your friend too. :D Remember that he doesn't have any blunt shooters or whatnot in his knees. Nope, none at all. Thanks, the spikes gave some flair. He pretty much wanted to be posed, I didn't have any idea that I wanted to do something like what I did until I started taking pictures. As I took poses like "Disco" it pretty much added up to him being almost human... with[out] a blunt shooter in his knee. :P [-TA-]
  17. Needs moar Torso flow and shape. :P And Yellow Kiiina Armor = Shoyruken. So going to MOC that one day. [-TA-]
  18. Nah, I swear it was late September/Early October when we got 09 scans, lemme check the forums again. EDIT: Scratch that, it was Late August for 09. Lemme see if it was 2008 I was mixing it with. >.> EDIT 2: Yep, September 25, 07 was when VBBN made that topic. So looks like it ranges. =/ If you take the average of those two, we should get somewhere in the middle of September. D: [-TA-]
  19. A bunch of Images. Slow connection? Let it load. Fast Connection? I still suggest letting it load. Annotations and "boring" info are in the descriptions of the flickr gallery. ******** This is Syd. Say Hi, Syd! Syd is a very friendly Robot! He would like to give you a hug! He is a very good robot. He can do many things like Acting. Sometimes Syd like to boogie down! Syd can make mistakes sometimes, but he's a good robot! He always says sorry! Syd is also very strong! This is because he drinks his milk and eats his veggies. He also likes to exercise! Syd wants to be your friend. He is in no way a deadly Robot with missile launchers in his legs that could kill people, no no no! He is very kind, and the picture below is fake! He is a very caring robot. Please be friends with Syd! [-TA-]
  20. Spoilers everywhere. D: I've yet to see anything except for those Bionicle Previews. I think I'll just pick up the DVD at Costco or something. >.> [-TA-]
  21. I meant the Cendox Helmet, but now I see you wanted a biker gang, lol. And the book cover is pretty cool. I hope it has some sort of serial like the last one. [-TA-]
  22. A better idea is to read your Camera manual and go to the menu so the pictures are automatically sized down when taken. 640x480 is if you want them to be posted directly here, but I prefer something around 1xxx x 1xxx for links. It's a lot easier than manually resizing them on the computer. [-TA-]
  23. Cendox is awsum, Right? :D You can just Bricklink one off you know. >.> And I swear I'll get a Cendox Review up... As soon as it stops raining and the sun decides to come out. D: [-TA-]
  24. And Tiome needs to actually try out his ideas. Shoulder armor, [Matoro Claw] doesn't actually work if I remember correctly. Strike that, that was with a 7long Dsocket. And well, I bet there's more to the job than just drawing up pretty pieces. Economics of some sort, safety regulations, copyright all has to fit somewhere [and probably more] [-TA-]
  25. I lol'd The original line was better. ;-; And made sense. ._. Watching the vid right now. The girl is cute. [-TA-]
