Rahkshi to the left, Mata Nui to the right. Maybe it's a separate production runs/leftovers thing. Also, I'm glad they're reinforcing the molds, too (I had to order five long double-joints because mine broke so much). It just seems a bit weird that they appear to be making/using mold after mold for pieces that are so similar.

They're probably either next on the list or presumed fine as-is. Or what you said. (LEGO seems to be going a bit nuts with the new-molds-for-old-parts thing; Anyone else notice the extra groove in the Stars' hands [to their outer knuckle]?)

Quick, sell them off now!

Well the HF online instructions say they're trans+neon. DON'T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN

You have him?

… pics?

aha ahahaha that was awesome Except the kids. They sort of sucked at acting.

Left/front Right/front Back Includes a flip-down stand. As well as an interchangeable blue/orange sprite. And it is, indeed, handheld! "But Bfa," you're probably asking, "why the glaring inaccuracies? Why make it so gappy when you could easily make it solid with some wheel pieces?" Well, dear reader, that's because it has a built in Zamor launcher that is fireable via a trigger in the back. It fires orange and blue Zamors, representing Portal shot. Full gallery, when public. And here's a reference pic. Thoughts?

Well, they're right along the edge so you'd have to be either zoomed out or using a really high resolution like you apparently are. But I guess it depends on screen/window size, so never mind.

It's probably non-canon. Bink said they're easter eggs, and they're not even visible when viewing the Hero Factor website, so I imagine they're just extras he threw in for highly intelligent (;D) people to find. Though I guess anything's possible.

Well that's a bummer. Hopefully it'll come around again. Also, you could just copy the template as it appears in the post and not the raw coding. It won't mess with the URL and it'll make sure you cover all the sections. Also, I added a new section to applicable backgrounds; there are bound to be more references to other stuff and it won't hurt to keep track of them.

That's the same link as the one right above it. :|

Well okay then. Also, do you know what the "forecast" for that one was/is?

Here's another background.

We're getting mixed messages on that, too. Some sources say the Zamor/Thornax combo is the sludge shooter, but the product description says he has a Meteor Blaster as well, which makes me thing that the tentacle is a "stream" of sludge shooting out. Anyway, there's writing down the left side of the background images on the HF site. These are the ones I've gotten so far: On this one. On this one. On this one. I love this site.

*poke* I qualify for the boncle tag. Also does the HF tag only count if you're the first one to review a set? Also does it count if it's a BZP review? :P

But the background is black right now. OH I GET IT also this

I was flicking/clicking through the Drop Ship instructions and apparently when you squeeze the trigger, not only to the bottom wings fold down (to grab a canister, no doubt, as there are the rubber TECHNIC gripper things near the joints), but the top wings/panels "flare" up too. Like it's slowing down for a landing or needs to carry an extra weight (because it would).

Bummer. Maybe it'd work on the others…

*12(?) My thoughts are "OMG lots of new parts/recolors!" Oh, I forgot to ask: can the weapon arm fit over the normal blue arm piece? Its hollowness makes it look like it could.

Hopefully. Also. I chuckled.

Yes. http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=318124&st=1320entry6925902

Not according to some, and really it's been moving away from TECHNIC for a good long while. The Ben 10 sets are basically glorified Av-Matoran/Agori/Stars, so they aren't entirely out of place here. I'm just wondering about the random Jayko stuck in the back there.
