Darkness Falls

...Actually, the first three years of Bionicle were NOT written by Greg, so he might've thought that it was the only choice to knock of the Toa Nuva, but the original writer might have found a way. I mean, at least we got a cameo of Tahu's Mask in Ignition #1. Does that not satisfy you? ONTO THE SETS! My, my... those canisters are some of the best since the Bohrok. From what I see of the sets... they're all unique and don't use the same exact parts. Definition of a Non-cloned set, eh? This will give them many varying heights, which I can't wait to see. I'm just waiting for BETTER pics. The quality is low on these, and I usually look at the final product and play with it before judging it. 2007 is looking good. EDIT: After further observation, I noticed the sets go in a certain "pattern" of sorts. Two look very bulky, and two look spindly and insect-like. Ehlek(sp? I can never tell anymore.) looks small and thin. I'm guessing the final will look like him as well. Clever move by TLC on their part, making kids buy at least three to get all different types.

When Tiny Turbos are dipped in Energized Protodermis... or perhaps Hordika Venom? This is clearly not what was meant to be.

Claw Crusher is the only one that looks good... seriously. Big Red-and-White guy isn't so bad, either... just stubby-limbed.

No, he said the canisters weren't clones. Plus, the small sets technically aren't clones considering they are two completely different body builds, Matoran and Rahi.

...Okay... back to '07 set dicussion, eh? Oops. I guess I shouldn't have said that. So "Barakki" means "Warlord" in Matoran, huh? That's a shame, I wanted another Swarm creature, not a titled group. Those have been popping up a lot lately, eh? "Piraka", "Barakki"...

xwingyoda... I don't think they post rumors, they have never done so in the past... Anyway, back to the sets: AWESOME! The Posiedome is from one of the GREATEST episodes ever... I loved that one. Kung Fu island, however, is one of the newer episodes, and I have a strong dislike for all of them. One set I'll have to pass up on. If those Minifig counts are real, though... WHOO! We're going to have a good time with Minifigs this year. *crosses fingers*

Yeesh... dark backstory, don't you think? Still, a very good MoC. I agree with Phes... the well would make more sense as stone... but the barrel keeps a rustic look to the set. Hope to see more.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. If only Lego could make something like this... ^^ Really stressed on the detail there, huh? I like it. Very... natural, or as natural as a Lego building can look... Where's that inner court, though? I'd like to see a inner court. Still, magnificent. You could have a huge battle scene INSIDE the castle walls... XD Keep it up, I can't wait to see more.

A-WHAT?! The Age of Action Figures... over? Yeah right! Toybiz is creating some of the greatest Action Figures ever! I hope you mean that the age of Bionicle Action Figures is over, because I would totally agree. You see, the uniqueness of the original builds is what made Bionicle good, and ever since 2001(that's right, 2001) Lego has been unable to reproduce the effect. If next year's sets are all clones, I'll stick to buying one per wave, because the lack of creativity in these sets is wrong. I'm not saying the original toa were perfect, but each had a different catch to them... Kopaka's shield, Pohatu's reversed torso, Onua's double tools and hunched appearance... that's what I want to see, not the same Piraka with a different tool and spine.

...When I was ten years old, I knew where to draw the line between making an impression and sounding stupid. But hey, if you don't want them to be called idiots, whatever. I guess I was a little harsh. A little.

Monkey Arms... Funny because it's true. I swear... Barakki Pcitures are the only thing keeping me alive now... as soon as I see them, I'll have ANOTHER reason to live... to buy at least one. But alas... so far away. Come on, Toys "R" Us workers, sneek a peak at some catalogues...

Seriously, though.. it's for the kids. We can go on reading the books, and comic books, and actually understand the story, but to keep buying the sets, Lego needs to make some sacrifices. Some humiliating sacrifices. Now, if you need me, I'll be crying in my room.

... That's because people in the BZP topic also post theories that are along the lines of this: "OMGZ c hurz wut happend once Makutta wuz angri at Maata-newy and desided to hit his H3ad! wit a HAMMER!" SECOND RESPONSE: ... That's because they're idiots.

...I was kind of hoping they would die.

Ah, the Technifigs. The memories, the memories. I really wish Lego hadn't discontinued them, considering I only got one, and he's mssing a hand and foot now. The purple Cyborg had some great scultping, too. Petition, anyone? These figures were compatible with both Lego and Technic pieces, and I'd love to see them brought back. Plus, I always loved watching mine kick the megablocks off of the Fabuland figs. They deserved it, they did.

...What? I think I understand what you're trying to say... except I don't.

Meh... I'm still waiting for the Barakii... or however they're spelled. Really, I never buy the small sets unless I LOVE the parts, so I need to see the first batch of canisters before freaking out. Zane(or TT, whatever you want to be called), Greg said the CANISTERS were going to be unique. Chill out and wait for them. If they're clones, I'll be right alongside you in your hatred.

Last year's "leaks" were in bulk, actually, Jinzo. The Piraka pics and the Matoran all appeared at once, with some badly-rendered pics of the two 19.99 Titans. Hopefully, we'll see pics of these "Canister sets that make the original Toa look like clones" soon. The Morak reminds me of a Gafna, from the VNOG...

Ooooh, two sets that look the same. So what? Garan and Velieka (or however it is spelled, I can't remember how Bionicle names are spelled ever since the Visorak.) had the same build, while the other Doomatoran were different. Plus, they're all the matoran-sized sets! That quadrapod is totally unique against those Matoran, which don awesome masks, by the way. Are those new tools? I guess Zamor Launchers are the new thing... Meh.

Third Bionicle Movie, Jinzo. Tsk, tsk... Come on, weren't the high heels on Roodaka a DEAD GIVEAWAY to her feminism? ^^ ... Okay, don't answer that.

O_o Sentai Tower? Half of these EXIST? If so, lemme see these skanks. Oops, right, they're the alternate forms. Still, can see some pics to vote upon?

...And Meca One is officially logged under the name of "Badass Muthatrucka." "I don't recall inviting you" could quite possibly be the best line in the entire series. Hell, it probably is. Meca One is climbing the ladder to that platform where Ogel, Makuta, Vladek, and *coughmaybethebrickstercough* sit.

... Still watching that clip Jinzo posted. I might have to take you up on this one, natalie. It'll take some work, though... *ponders*

MAN! City and Star Wars just got some more pics... When are we seeing bionicle 2007? Come on, 1000desteine... don't let me down.

Very nice, but I think the nose just looks a little... bland. Perhaps adding a little more detail to the front would suit me fine. But hey, I'm not the builder. Still, VERY nice... I like it. Good job!
