Purple roof?

666? We don't really want that record hanging around do we?

The rifle looks to be a better scale now. A bit easier to hold I suppose. The other improvement that I like is the Exo-force robot as a hand. I've always used the robot arms as fingers, but I never thought to use the body as well! Mind if I steal?

Actually I find that one Zesk is sufficient because the rest can be replaced with a little Photoshop love.

Now all it needs is a few of these and it'll be perfect!

Don't complain, it's better than the previous title that was up for grabs. I presume the "Legend Reborn" title means that Mata Nui will be the main protagonist as opposed to one of six main protagonists that we though he'd be. It's always nice when non-red characters take the lead role. Wasn't that comic called "Mata Nui rising"? I remember that that was the original title for BL11, but it was changed to TFB because Mata Nui Rising gave away a massive plot point.

Another good thing about the upcoming movie way better visuals and explosions.

The Pirates are out in New Zealand stores, so it can't be much longer till they arrive in Australia. -
Interesting stuff. I saw that article a few hours ago as well.

I suspect it isn't a new combo, just one that nobody got round to finding, or TLG never got round to revealing. Maybe even they had it uploaded and such, but decided not to use it after all. It is in the topic here somewhere, check around the 21st of January, because that's when my version of the file says I downloaded it (I think).

Well, I just got back from the Farmers in Albany with all 6 Glatorian. The Farmers and Toys r fun in Albany don't have the 09 Titans, (TrF doesn't have any 2009 ) but The Warehouse and Kmart has both Titans, for their nasty price of $45.

I've never seen that dog key-chain, but that red part is one of the old train couplings used in the very early train systems, before they used magnets. There is also a similar piece that is used for the hook to hook into on the other carriage.

No, I meant like they're not on sale for 20% off yet. I'm going to Farmers this evening, because it's the last day of their sale which includes 20% off all Toys. Unfortunately, they apparently don't have Fero & Skirmix or Tuma yet, so I'm just going to get all six Glatorian and possibly some Pirate sets. I know other stores have the titans, but I'm so pedantically annoyed by the price increase that I'm not gonna buy them till they're cheaper than their original price.

Wow, that looks amazing with all those little realistic details! I especially love the cans, pizzas and their boxes. Although I think you could improve the kitchen a bit to have trans-orange under the stove. I suggest using one of these with it's lid as a stove on the left, and have to the right a 2x2 brick with 2 2x2 plates on top and then 4 trans-orange studs and then the grill and pan that you've got on top. Also, the minifig could look better with a Indiana Jones sling bag, although he wouldn't be able to put any pizzas in it...

Amazing art Antrozek, I love the poses of those two characters in front of the three-eyed monster! All that art needs now is a Brakas on the shoulder of the first guy, land sharks emerging from the ground below, and a big explosive lazer beams erupting from all three of the monster's eyes. Ultimate recipe for BIONICOOL. Hopefully I should be getting mai Glatorian today, but not the titans because they're not on sale yet. Although that spares me up some money to buy some LEGO pirates though. Just to contribute to the art abundace in this topic, here is probably my favourite BIONICLE creation to date:

Pretty misprints and exclusive recolors won @ BBC #51
Brickthing replied to Bundalings's topic in LEGO Action Figures
Disappointing... Ah well Bunda, at least you've still got those other priceless pieces. -
13 Skrall against 24 Vorox at first, then another 50 jumped out of the sand from behind, before being unjustly massacred. Algernoon - I was disappointed as well, because he just stood outside the cave until the Skrall shot the cave roof down. I would've hoped to see some Malum action before he got beaten into unconsciousness.

That Death Star hologram is curious, and I'm hoping it's a prelim piece. From what I can tell, it's a Tridax pod from BIONICLE. I presume it will be replaced in the final set with a more Death Star shaped part.

3) That is epic. It's such a shame that they didn't try to work around that space issue whilst keeping the magnifying function. It would've been sooo cool. 4 and 5) Bad Bunda. Now I'm gonna have to crop that image before I can save it to my computer. Although, the Pakari is kinda meh though. 7) I just realised. Remember that German documentary that somebody found on BZP a while back that showed a lot of Mistika prototypes? In it, there was a Silver Kaukau that was made from a Maxilos Mask and some other cut up pieces. Now that we know that masks like that actually went to the stage where they made a good copy, that gives us hope that there are other awesome masks in that vault that Bink raided doesn't it? Also, I'm pretty sure that there would be some Metruan mask prototypes, Dume mask prototype and Jaller Mahri mask prototypes existing as well, seeing as they're mix-colours... -

Congrats Bunda, and I suppose you're not going to sell them for any price are you? That Black hau is baffling, but I'm sure that there is something super awesome that makes it worth being in your package, because Bink doesn't get into a LEGO vault just to pull out common pieces. Try comparing it with a normal Black Hau in the light, and if all else fails, ask Bink what that mask is all about. Please demonstrate that magnikrana head. Please don't demonstrate the silver Kaukau on Gali. Gali has enough silver. Please demonstrate the Pakari though, I think that would look awesome. Despite the Strakk head looking digusting in that colour, you are required to make a set-like Glatorian MOC using that mask and the Krika blades as a crossbow. Those Zamor are win. Does the green one have traces of transparency, or is that my wishful thinking? Finally, congrats again Bunda, you deserve it. -
InnerRayg - Half the Skrall were temporarily taken out by holes, while one Skrall was taken out by twenty Vorox whilst being surprised, so that's not doing much to credit the Vorox's strength.

Just to comment some more on Greg's amazing new serial chapter, this is totally what I want to have going for all future instalments. The chapter length is normal, but it only covers the small fight and Malum being captured, and we learn just about nothing new to put on BS01. That is how I like it, because the result is a chapter that details way more into the emotions and thoughts involved in the event, and it doesn't feel like 10 trivial information bits were just squashed in here and there because BZP wanted them in. IMO, Greg's break from BZP is what made this chapter so awesome, because he's probably had a lot more time to make it perfect, and didn't have all those many BZPer suggestions to try and fit in. Plus, being able to work with only three characters is good as well. The only problem I noticed with this chapter is that Vorox fell into the stereotypical and cliché weakness of non-individual enemies - the more Vorox there are, the weaker each individual becomes. In arena fights and in the first comic, the Vorox seem to be formidable opponents, yet in this chapter, when the Skrall were facing around 75 Vorox, they took them all down with minimal effort.

Congrats Sandy, I hope you put those pieces to good use!
