How so? Yeah, I got the Throwbots. They were alright. Nothing too amazing, but they were alright. They are presently in pieces on the bottom of my box of BIONICLE sets. As for the Roboriders... I was not at all impressed by them. ~AaronCrane--

Changed my mind--Thok. ~AaronCrane--

Hello. My identification is AaronCrane. I am at your service. Peace be upon you. ~AaronCrane--

Welcome, crispen, to the place over the rainbow, to the land beyond the sea... Never mind... ~AaronCrane--

Saluton, tophdawg! :) ~AaronCrane--

Pie? Pie... *Searches memory banks* Oh, yes. "Click here to see why I like pie"--yep, the same keetongu from BZPower. My suspicions are confirmed... Anyway, please don't spam, keetongu. :/ Rumors. That's all it is. Nobody knows whether or not the teeth glow in the dark... although that would be interesting. edit: I just found it. You were correct. My mistake. ~AaronCrane--

I am 13. ~AaronCrane--

1. No, they aren't prototypes. GregF said so. Brutaka and Axonn are finished, along with the Piraka. The status of the $29.99 sets is unknown to GregF, and the second canister series is still having some design tweaks done to them. 2. That is correct, in the U.S.A. 3. Where did you get that information? 8-| ~AaronCrane--

I don't have any instructions. Sorry. But may I ask why you want the instructions? ~AaronCrane--

Thou shalt not use all-caps lock! :P J/K No, the Piraka aren't going to be in the U.S. before Christmas. They will be released some time in January, like most of the other first canister set series over the years. :) ~AaronCrane--

I understand. All I'm saying is: it's their business. If something on a forum affects the way things are being run, then the forum should cooperate and fix it. I'm not saying that it is a marketing department, and it is important to put first interest in the members, but TLC still deserves some respect for their wishes which may affect how things go about--which can in turn affect you and that which you have grown to be a fan of. If you don't agree, fine. BTW, I never said anything about Eurobricks in my post. I understand that TLC will probably contact you if they have a problem, and I'm not trying to accuse Eurobricks of creating trouble. ~AaronCrane--

Also, the sets with old masks are the $4.99 sets--TLC reserves new parts and features for the canister and titan sets. They aren't going to punish us. Apparently (again, to quote GregF): They can't just stop with the catalogue shots. They are important to how they do business with the German market. What "deals"? Why isn't it a smart thing? (What is FBTB?) And do you really care that little about what TLC wants? No, no contract was signed, but their wishes should be respected. It's called "bionicle.com". Whatever's on there, you can use. A community of webmasters? Interesting, but doubtful. Counter if you must. ~AaronCrane--

Why would they want to? As long as the BIONICLE sets sell well, they're going to keep the story going. Once it is dead (which I don't imagine to be very soon), then they'll stop, but the people who like BIONICLE (specifically, the people who are buying the sets) don't think its been done to death, so they'll continue. It would be very unwise of them to stop producing a set series that is selling well. ;) ~AaronCrane--

In the U.S. (where you live, keetongu), the Piraka won't be released until January. Axonn will be much later in July (along with Brutaka and the second canister series). The Matoran will be released in late November to early December. ~AaronCrane--

I prefer Vezok, although it could just be the particular pose. ~AaronCrane--

Greetings, Sting! :) Enjoy yourself here on your friendly neighborhood LEGO forum website! :-D ~AaronCrane--

That is such an ubsurd idea, that it cannot possibly be true. That ball could be many things, Keetongu. It clearly does not look like shadow energy, it looks like a fireball. Even if it is not a Fireball, you cannot simply judge what a side he is on by the box. Here's an idea: Why don't you just wait until 2006 to see? It's speculation, Darkness Falls. :/ It looks like shadow energy to me--you'll notice it appears as a black and red ball, which is what shadow energy sometimes looks like (note Makuta's arm from his chest in LoMN). Axonn has a "feel" to him that makes him seem evil, and Brutaka has a "feel" that makes him seem good. It's speculation, but what more do you have when you're making theories in 2005 on a 2006 story? ;) ~AaronCrane--

There is more than one battle ram in the Visorak army. :) ~AaronCrane--

Welcome to our little (very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very little :P ) corner of the universe! Enjoy your stay! :-D ~AaronCrane--

I think I understand what you mean, for the most part at least. We probably don't need to apologize, since it was only natural for a member to post 2006 set pictures. Unless it continues long enough (since we have already agreed not to post them). After all, the first time is the first--the dozen times afterwards are another thing. :| BTW, just for... whatever: another reason TLC wanted those pictures off BZPower was because they were very bad. To quote GregF (again): "B.S."? That means...? 8-| I know one thing it could mean, and I best not say it here. (I'm not into all of this lingo and abbreviation stuff on forums.) ~AaronCrane--

From what you've heard about 2006, how good do you think it will be? Me? I think it will be awesome. :-D Keep in mind that choices are arranged from best to worst from top to bottom, so as to prevent different opinions about how good "alright" is, for example. ~AaronCrane--

Four's a lucky number... I guess... :P Welcome to eurobricks! ~AaronCrane--

27,000. ;) About Brutaka and Axonn: one of them is good, the other one is evil. I'm betting Brutaka is the good one, and Axonn is the evil one (basically just because of the way they look--it has a "feel"). It is unknown whether or not the big $30 is good or evil. :) Yeah, I noticed that a lot of the BZPers (probably all the forum members) have some sort of opinion about those "smiles". I think they're cool, the Piraka are cool, the "titans" are cool, the Matoran are actually cool as well, when I looked at the other pictures (I made the mistake of using the first one to judge the rest). I think 2006 will be an absolutely AWESOME year for BIONICLE, not only the storyline, but the sets as well. :) ~AaronCrane--

This isn't something minor, gylman. The 2006 sets form an elaborate project by TLC. Their premature release can cause a lot of problems, which if you do not understand (I'm not saying I am all-knowing, mind you), you shouldn't get angry at them about it. :/ And they're not threatening us, so much as they're telling us what we can and cannot do, which they have every right to do. This "love your fans" stuff you're talking about, though admittedly important, does not prevent TLC from telling us our place in the hierarchy of it all. If TLC tells us we shouldn't post the pictures, we won't--that's how it works. It doesn't give us any reason to form an "eMob"--it's TLC making sure things go as planned. :) ~AaronCrane--

That's a lovely, lushious lie. No, it isn't. That information has been posted on BZPower from a Bionicle Legends #3 synopsis on Scholastic. GregF has said, however, that the synopsis is not completely accurate. He isn't allowed to say what isn't accurate, but it should be noted. :) ~AaronCrane--
