  1. Confirmation - It is one of those 4899 Tractor Poly-bags. My Toyworld had a bunch of them to give out, so now I'm the proud owner of a beautiful tan Indy hat. The TW staff didn't know too much about the competition, so when I asked 'bout the tractor they almost gave me the bigger 7634 tractor before I pointed out the 4899 tractors!
  2. Ahsoka's Fighter and Count Dooku's SS are Toyworld Exclusives, as are the Combine Harvester and Farm. There is also a City 6 in 1 Pack for $150 instead of $200. Finally, there is a National LEGO Building Comp where you bring in a photo of a MOC to your local store, and it says in the mailer you receive a free LEGO Tractor. I presume it's that little polybag set that was given out in Finland some time ago. I'm going to Toyworld shortly, so I can confirm it when I come back.
  3. 'Twas a fine day, and the Jester had been especially good, so the King gave him the day off. What did the CRAZY Jester do during this day off? Sleep of course! But what did he dream of? He dreamed up a concoction so bizarre that even the King would not want to see such Jestiment, for this CRAZY Jester's dream was truly CRAZY. The Jester dreamed of a competition, of which he was the judge and he was the only judge. In one corner of the playing field was a Rock Monster, who has roses in his mouth and a craving for grooming kittens. Why does he have roses in his mouth? He has his hammer at the ready... In the other corner is the big, the bad, and the notorious TRAFFIC-CLAM! But what's this? Look at the size of the Traffic-Clam's hammer! Evidently, the Traffic-Clam doesn't want to play fair... Behind the Traffic-Clam his is trainer, who has waited all his live to see his Traffic-Clam triumph over the Rock Monster. He's even wagered a crystal topped Pavlova on the Traffic-Clam's victory. That must have been a bad move, because Rock Monsters would die for a crystal topped Pavlova... But what is the competition actually about? What are the two adversaries fighting for? Why - It's WHACK-A-TROLL!! Whack a Troll: +1 Point Whack a Carrot: -10 Points Whack a Dementor or a Mountain Troll: + 5 Points Whack a Hinkley: +50 Points According to the Jester's rules, the first person to get the dog in the hoop wins!! High above the game field, on his judging throne, the Jester reins supreme with his Jester Shield and his Broom of Justice! In the Jester's dream, he is the ruler of this competition land, and so he must make the rules and enforce justice on those who break it. Meanwhile, in the background the monkey (because every vignette is better with monkeys) cries out in dismay. "Wha-...I've been duped! This is a Cooking Pot tree!" Where is the monkey's banana? Why, in the ground of course! Silly monkey, all bananas grow in the ground. Beside the banana, a pair of Gentlemen Pine Trees and a Clone trooper watch the Whack-a-Troll competition, but sadly the business man is too caught up in his phone-call to realise the chaos unfolding around him. Finally, here is the full view of the Jester's twisted dream vignette, in all it's CRAZY glory! Why does the Jester dream like this? Why are there blue brushes on the Rock Monster's castle? Will the monkey ever find his banana? Why is the entire vignette upside-down?
  4. Neither do I, but that's not gonna stop me! If you really want a jester outfit, disassemble a blue and red (or any other bright colour) minifig then reassemble them in a jester style. Then find the most CRAZY face and hair you can find!
  5. Another question ( ) : Can I write a couple paragraph story instead of a caption? My MOC already has lots going on.
  6. I swear if some BZP member pesters Greg into making Vezon visit Alt. Bara Magna and participate in an arena fight...
  7. So are there any size restrictions to these vignettes? Also, we post the entries here right?
  8. It doesn't make sense to wave around a dangerous stinger tail around the person that you look up to and treat as your leader. So yeah. I think they probably see Malum coming and roll over for their master to tickle their tummy, pick them up and give them a hug. My cat does that.
  9. Don't worry, it gets better after Greg decided to chuck out the cheesiness in favour of us older critics. Now all the serials have way more win and The sad thing about RoS is that I get the feeling that anything that happens will be futile, because it's Mata Nui who's destined to return to the MU at the end of the BIONICLE set line to save everybody.
  10. Although I love the nifty MOC itself, red and white just doesn't make sense for a Glatorian IMO. Great use of the Metus helm, although it looks a bit funny in the back picture.
  11. So we know what, but I am now dying to know how and why.
  12. It's a coincidence. In 2001, the names were taken from various Polynesian languages, and in 2009 they made with inspiration from Latin, because it's a dead language.
  13. Thanks. Now I look like an idiot.

  15. In fact, the set designer saying so is the only reason that we know he exists, and that there is going to be a store exclusive this year.
  16. I think I know the first two, but the last one confuses me.
  17. The bigger Mata Nui set will be, because we didn't see it at Toyfair, and there isn't any point in having two different Mata Nui sets in every single store. It's the kind of set that works better as an exclusive, similar to the Yellow Jetrax.
  18. I think the reason for Mata Nui not being gold is not cost, but a Gold MN would be way too cool for a canister set. One set can't be way cooler than all the others, because then people will only try to buy the same single set, and stores will be left with the less wanted other sets, similar to the Clone/Droid Battlepack problems.
  19. Doubt it. If he was going to be gold, they would've spray painted the parts gold.
  20. Zombie Tuyet? Maybe Matoro's power is partially infused in the universe, and is causing long dead beings to come back... I highly doubt it's an Alt. Universe Tuyet, because we've already got so many of those twists (Light Makuta, Dark Takanuva army, Vezon) that we wouldn't do well with another. The main thing that I'm confused about is that this Tuyet didn't know the status of Lhikan and Nidhiki and was unsure of the universe's state, yet she seems to know how long she's been dead, although I thought she died in the GC, which was only 1000 years ago, not 2000.
  21. Should be the impulses, because I was under the impression that they were due in NZ in March. Can't wait to pick them up!
  22. Seeing as I can't find another appropriate topic to congratulate the new banner, I'll post my congratulations here. The new banner is perfect for summer, although I'm not sure what to make of Spongebob's scimitar and the fact that Ahsoka's legs are backwards... Also, what's the diver doing with the cup? Collecting seawater?
  23. No, spam is only when there isn't anything necessary in the entire post. They still have a message to say, they just cap on the Vahki stuff to the beginning and end.
  24. Lovely MOC, and the expression of the driver is perfect for the situation and the speed that van seems to be going at! My only complaint is that the water spilling from the fire hydrant is level with the juckfozzer, which doesn't match the amount of water that is coming out of the fire hydrant. It also looks a bit like the water has burnt a hole into the juckfozzer to fill, so I think it would be better if the water spilling was on the level above the juckfozzer.
