---Vertea---

nothin''till bink updates B.com in July.

I can't disagree :) Gelu is a sexxy-beast! yeah, baby, yeah! True that! The sort of jumbled look of the old combiners is very much apparent. I' liking this set a little more each second.

Wait-isn't that an oddly complete summary of our conversations lately?XD Oh, wait-that was Stronius! Well, in any case, on my next trip, I will purchase Mata Nui and Kiina, or Ackar and Gelu.

metru. It looks really good. I'll get Mats, then. Though I know Ackar is on my list still for those orange and red parts. Boring-yes, but also MOCability.

Really? That good? He might b eon my next list then... Should I get Ackar or Mata Nui first? Both have great recolours and new parts, so it's a toss up.

Nice!!! that looks really good so far. ...Is MN about to drop Ackar over a cliff?

Definitely worth getting if you can.

I'll post 'em in the 2009 images/discussion thread since a review is quite unnecessary.

Yes, those are new. They are very much blood red.

yus. And yellow, too. i can also sho him wearing Tuma's mask, and a Skrall mask, If you wish

Yrah... maybe some leg ermour to cover up thos atrocious Hordika shins! Sweet! I'm glad you like him! I might review Stronius next, but I think everyone already has enough of him XD

Front, is Titan Mata Nui set you were hinting at earlier?

Just made a review: Check it out!!!

Today I'm going to review my recent Glatorian Legend Vasus!!!! wooo! Mind out, though... there are a FEW modifications(very minor) First off, a glory shot to entice you, the viewer, to read on. Now, the box: As you can see, the artwork is pretty darn epic-still keeping that elemental feel we've been graced with lately, but with that ominous Skrall maze background. In the center, we have our set in question holding his spear scythe wrong, but otherwise looking all majestic and cool. The back features a lineup of all Legends coming out this year all glorified and what have you. There is also the BIO code that I have left untouched for your convenience. legal stuffs, etc... let us move on. The parts: Pretty self-explanatory. These are all the parts that actually came with the set, and as you can see, it's a pretty decent catch. The transparent pipe with green inside is especially cool-gives the impression of carrying venom to the scythe. The shoulder armour is also cool, though it won't work with MOCs that don't have lime green mahritoran blades or any of the snake-themed parts in this set. Still pretty cool, though. More part-specific shots!!! The new arm socket parts will come in handy... See the snakehead at the scythe end? Snakes everywhere!!! more snakes intertwined as armour... ...and another on the mask. Venom tube!!!! I see great potential for this in future MOCs THE BUILD: The shoulder armour falls off due to the use of only one black pin, but I added a blue axle/pin and the problem was fixed. It does NOT wobble, thank god. The little inika thigh armour piece that now serves as a codpiece to the veteran seems a tad out of place, and makes it so that the hip part has to be a stud higher than usual, thus making Vastus short. Also to be noted here is the lazy way that his back is arranged. Two three-long blue pins hold the life-counter on, and to fill up the space between, we have these lame parts that do nothing for the model. My kingdom for a back!!! Other than this, the model is pretty solid, and carries itself well. PLAYABILITY/POSEABILITY: Not much different from other Glatorian or the Inika or Mahri or Phantoka or mistika... etc.. The Scythe when built as recommended hinders all arm movement, but a two-sided connector at the end of the shaft will fix this problem. He can do a handstand!!! Predator... ...Or prey? Overall, the set is pretty decent-a lot better than people give credit. The torso fails a bit, but he awesome new parts and theme make well up for it. The jungle/snake theme is very welcome and I hope to see more of this in future sets, as well as more "injector" tubing. OVERALL SCORE: Parts: Good score. New parts, good colors, recolours. 10/10 Design: Fantastic work on the snake armour and mask. The scythe is very nice and the overall matched theme wins. But that torso sets it back... 8/10 playability: good articulation, swingable weapon, thornax, balance. All good here(as far as canister sets go) 10/10 Price:5/10 13 dollars for canisters is outrageous. I'm never gonna give a good prices score for a canister unless it's absolutely the best thing ever. However, given the new parts and such, it's a fairly good bang for your buck. Good on new, bad on recolours.

DAAAAMN! I suddenly want those sets!

yes-as is my sig. They're both screen caps I cropped from the recent Trailer. Sawblades would be VERY badass, and Elemental theme would work for the hseroes, but I'd like another set of villains that are alien monsters-each belonging to it's own element. And I REEEEALY want to see parasites.

Monstrous beings. The tan one has a circular mouth like a worm. Some trans-parts, some rubbery-organic parts, awesome weapons. The projectiles are parasites of some sort that I think launch out of the arm(which is a new part) and the impulses have a new design. Can't tell what the hell the good guys are... ...or so i imagine... only time will tell...

hey, I think you're right. That's quite a reputation if accurate, Hewkii9! And I'm LOVING Vastus' clear tubing. It has that bit of green running down the center(like poison, I guess) and just looks so nice. His parts will look great in their respective boxes when I disassemble him later this year... You know, a month from now when we get our first glimpse at 2010...

The torso does make me weep, but a little moding might make it not so bad. His weapon is SICK. There's a little snake head at the tip of the weapon where the scythe blade protrudes. He's pretty much all snakes and stylized Mahritoran blade design all over. Not much use, or is it....? It IS!!!!! And stronius' hands and arms look like blood. Excellent color choice with the dark red.

Yup with all parts and some pieces from the Ussanui. I usually find bags or canns of Bionicle and old Technic stuffs, so it's a place I frequent often. It has given my collection quite a bit of expansion over the years.

What da fcuk is wrong wit yoo?

Got Vastus and Stronius! they had all the others, too, but I could only afford two. I already had Stronius in an instant and my brother suggested Vasus, so I got him. Overall, Vastus is pretty darn cool. Bizarre, but epic. I'll post pics as soon as my mom gets back with mah camera. Oh, yeah-almost forgot. I found Takanuva olda at Savers in a Nuju Metru canister. He has BOTH avohkiis! God bless thrift stores...

I never got any Exo-force, so the Mantax claws are welcome. Same with the Bitil wings and pretty much evert thing here, since I lack yellow almost entirely. I'm going to TRU to pick up some Glat. Legends-any pic requests? I has a digital camera and a Majhost account, so I kan post licketty-split! Also, wish me luck in case they have any vehicles!

The fact that ALL fingers(including thumb) are fuully poseable makes it VERY appealing. All they need is decent posing. As does the rest of the set.
