I said Lego, I didn't say illegal catalog leaks or stupid promos. -Omi
-
Yeah. I think we can just wait until Lego releases something. -Omi
-
Still doesn't prove Amazon is being completely honest. :P -Omi

AHA I knew it was different. :P Very nice though. -Omi

That sword has a few differences than the Damien Blade. The bottom of the handle of the Damien has the circle indented. His sword doesn't have that. handle on Damien blade has grooves. His sword doesn't. Plus the hilt on the Damien blade has ball like thingies on each end. His sword doesn't. Therefore his sword isn't the Damien blade. Plus that sword seems to be much bigger. I'll just wait until HK says something. Looks really different. -Omi

Is that sword new BF? Cuz I know it isn't the BA sword. -Omi
-
Not really, because both sets have different names and numbers. Mata Nui - Item #: 8989 Toa Mata Nui - tem #: 8998 As long as they clearly have two seperate names, they are no slap in the face. Other stores will have them listed like that as well. -Omi

The guy used foam for his dirigible, and it wasn't even finished either. People were kinda irked that good majority of it wasn't Lego, but I let is slide cuz it was fuckin big. :P -Omi
-
Still pricey and huge. :P Just being realistic here. -Omi
-
Yes but the Zeppelin is bigger than the Falcon last I checked in terms of actual scale. And it isn't easy to make a large, hollow dirigible of that scale. -Omi
-
Just remember that it would be very costly if Lego ever chooses to make such a large beast. And probably a very unwise economic decision. -Omi
-
See thats the thing. If they bring back old sets, it really isn't "old sets". :P If would just be new and improved. -Omi
-
It seems bigger than the UCS Batmobile and slightly the same size and other UCS sets. :P And minifig-scale zeppelin? As in the zeppelin from Last Crusade? Are you serious? It would be bigger than this. -Omi
-
Someone would have had to add it to be from there. :P -Omi
-
I wasn't. -Omi
-
I had no opinion from the start. :) -Omi

He did actually. Reread his statement. "as generic brands often taste just as good as the more expensive brands." Also anyone who knows their cereals would know that generic and main are not the same since they don't follow the same formula. Umm ok? I wasn't even trying to say MB was better anyways, so what is your point? Then they should have more search results then! Was it posted here? I thought this was a Lego forum. And economy fluctuates. Of course I can always bring up the time when Lego nearly went out of business a couple years ago. Most, but not everyone. And it isn't proportional. Like I said about BZP, which has over 40,000 members all international, still only makes up a small fraction of Bionicle's total fanbase. Because not all fans are members of their respective forums. I gave myself as an example, but of course you didn't read it. Not sure what that means, nor do I care. Unless you intended it as a threat. And this isn't an argument. Thats a common misconception with you kids these days. It is just a simple debate that was caused by biased opinions. I only came into it because I don't like bias nor bigotry. -Omi

You are honestly going to tell me that store brand Fruity Pebbles taste better then real Fruity Pebbles? :P Have a bowl and you'll see. Read it. You are saying that I can never even argue the point that Mega Bloks is better than Lego. A Lego fan on a lego forum is telling me this. I am a fan of FF, so I will always say you can never tell me nor prove that Halo is way better than FF. And what evidence? Sales? Search results? I can do the same with Green Day and The Beatles. The Beatles Results 1 - 10 of about 34,900,000 for the beatles. (0.06 seconds) Green Day Results 1 - 10 of about 171,000,000 for green day. (0.11 seconds) Looks like The Beatles really do suck, despite the fact that here and here they are ranked top on the list of the Greatest Bands Ever (second and first respectively on the lists) Also I'm sure you pay attention to GregF once in awhile on BZP, especially when he himself has even stated that Mega Brands have been doing well, even at the point where they were even top of the game. And this proves what? You cannot prove just with forums that Lego has a bigger and diverse fanbase. Not the entire fanbase uses the internet. Did you know that with all the members on BZP, it still only makes up a small fraction of Bionicle's total fanbase? And with this evidence, you are saying that Mega Bloks only has a total of 5 fans. I am a fan, and I am not a member of that forum. I am a huge fan of Final Fantasy, but I am not a member of Squeenix's forum. I am a fan of Bionicle, but I am not a member of BZP. -Omi

Are we going to play to assuming game? Cuz I can assume a lot of things about you. Never assume. I haven't whipped out my arguing face yet. I am merely discussing. Why for? I see no reasoning to bring it into the playing field. -Omi

Walk into Wal-mart. Walk into a Grocery store. Look at what people buy. Just watch. How often do you see them pick up what is the supposed popular main brand? You don't. You see them pick up the shitty store brand. Because they have no choice but to get it. They would love to get Fruity Pebbles, but they have to get the cheap Frooty Rocks instead. And Frooty Rocks will sell more because it is cheap, but deep down it isn't popular among the crowd. This is exactly why sales cannot prove popularity. I like nothing and everything. I defend everything and I offend everything. I am in the middle. I am openminded and I don't take sides. This statement is biased and opinionated, so I am gonna take it like a grain of salt. And also I never once stated nor implied that MB is more popular. I just said you can't prove that lego is more popular. Just like you guys managed to not prove Lego is more popular than MB? I'm still waiting on the official poll statistics here. You only say Lego is popular cuz yeah, duh, you like Lego and this is a Lego forum. If I went to a Marvel forum, I'm gonna hear that Marvel is better than DC. However if I went to the latter's forum, they will say that Marvel sucks. And they will have these same discussions and "prove me this" crap.

Still doesn't prove popularity dude. ;) This is like asking whether Brickforge and Brickarms are popular than the other. Or Pepsi and Coca Cola. Or Batman and Superman. -Omi
-
That just proves that sales are better than the companies. Does not prove popularity. Perhaps you show me a worldwide statistic of what people think is popular, than I will take it. -Omi
-
Retconning is sometimes neccessary. Would you prefer Wolverine's current origin or his actual original supposed origin (the fact that he was a real wolverine)? -Omi

Brickforge - opinions? Thoughts?
Omicron replied to Commander Assassin's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Sometimes they are loose, sometimes they are tight. Just wiggle them off and they will come off quickly if you come across that problem. Brickforge, like Brickarms, is of great quality. They don't break easily, and if they do break, that would only mean you forced that upon them. I do say this though, that if you purchased the new "soft plastic" items (NV goggles, the belts), that they are meant to be flexible and not stretcheable. -Omi -
Hair is untouched. Just sanded down the stud on the hand and drilled a hole. Hair fits like a helmet. Ha, not worries dude. My philosphy is that "if they aren't doing it/going to do it, then you might as well try". It is why I make these figs in the first place. :) -Omi
