  1. Basically the above. There was speculation for a while that his name was "Daniel", which was based on someone editing Wikipedia to put a non-canon fan name, which eventually took (the internet: where nonsense becomes fact) in the overall community, though not officially. Then, inexplicably, the DVD makers of Savage Planet listed his name as "Daniel". Why, exactly, nobody knows for sure, but doesn't matter too much. Word was later received from Bink that the story team had never (and will likely never) officially name Rocka. So yeah, he's Rocka. Nobody messes with Rocka.
  2. Even Nex manages to look pretty bamf. Definitely looking forward to getting some of these sets.
  3. Meh, just another boring model contest.
  4. I get the not changing anything; they want all their ducks in a row before unveiling anything. That said, it is a little disappointing that they let the deadline pass. Presumably something is holding them up.
  5. Pretty easy to get.
  6. Ohay, new HF.com background. I still think these things are cool, man.
  7. Cool beans. If that's the case, it's definitely bley, looking at the contrast.
  8. Sure that's a torso piece? Looks like one of those Hordika necks, or the straight version we got from the Glatorian.
  9. Seriously, it would be so cool if they could add that to your purchases at TRU or something; I'd go in every day to get a new set =D
  10. aaaaa now THAT I would buy the crap out of.
  11. Hey, as we've learned from Savage Planet, if you post nonsense on Wikipedia, LEGO will validate it =D
  12. Yeah, saw that the other day too. Weird stuff, but if they sold it for reasonably cheap, or included them with a purchase or something, I would totally buy a few. Just getting some nice pieces would be great.
  13. Because we're lazy and nobody has actually made the page yet. That's why it's a wiki; so other people can do that stuff too =D
  14. Y'know, I can't tell if you're genuinely making a point about LEGO's trend of having the main villains be the biggest to fulfill their underdog/teamwork shtick, or being snarky about the fact that they pointedly made the Hero sets smaller when designing the line because impulse sets actually sell better than the larger ones. If the former, then I'd say I disagree; it's not bad business, because they've already proven that smaller sets are better sellers. They just enjoy larger villain boxed sets because it gives the designers more room to play around. Look at Speeda Demon; fairly minor in the scheme of things, but that was their attempt at a vehicle set with the new style.
  15. And that's another thing; was what BP was doing a diversion so they wouldn't cotton on to the plans being stolen, or was he just letting his megalomania get the better of him? Was it convenience that made him try and pump himself up, or was it also part of the Breakout plan from the beginning? Remember, some earlier material says he was actually intending to destroy the Tower, so was he still planning on doing that after he got all the energy? And what the hell is Anti-quaza.
  16. So I'm compiling a list of questions that the episode either raised and didn't answer, or just pretended to answer and didn't, so I can keep track of what we actually do and don't know. If you guys have any other ones, shout em out, or if you think you have a logical explanation for the issue, say it. 1. Wtf was up with Von Nebula's "spirit" coming out of Voltix? Was this meant to be just for show (to remind us about the character) or is there actually a deeper connection of Voltix and VN that we don't know about? 2. When did Recon Team hire Rocka? Stormer acts somewhat like Rocka had been a mole from the beginning, and that Rocka's entire attitude for SP was mostly a facade, something Rocka's overall personality in this episode doesn't dispute. 3. Did Furno's core thingy actually drain it of energy, or can they do it any time anywhere? If the former, does it have to do with the new Core design? 4. Is that actually Von Nebula at the end? Assuming it is (seems likely), why didn't they show his full face, and how exactly did he organize this whole endgame if he's been stuck in the staff forever? Was this a backup plan to his backup plan? Is VN the new Teridax? 5. What was Speeda Demon doing on Kollix IV, anyway? Will the books be canon after all? Those are just some plot observations that didn't quite gel with anything else. Anybody have anything else they see that didn't particularly make sense?
  17. Continuation. One hour episodes don't usually structure as part one and part two on Nicktoons, at least not during the first run.
  18. Well that... was interesting. Doesn't answer much at all, but a fun story nonetheless. Hopefully some more of this plot gets expanded in Part 2, if such a thing actually exists (which I suspect it doesn't).
  19. If there's any particular issue with HF, it's that they have no sense of scheduling. Seriously, how was anybody supposed to know about this? All of the other episodes have been on a different channel (for me, anyway) so they wouldn't have recorded if I hadn't known. Regardless, looking forward to it. It'll hopefully make sense of some burning questions that we all have.
  20. Core Hunter still looks horribly generic, but I'm hoping the color layering and overall feel will help up his appeal. Bulk is definitely growing on me, and Voltix looks wintastic as usual. Stringer looks cool enough with the theme, but being a small Hero is still putting me off a little bit.
  21. As Aanch said, some of them are familiar from videos and stuff, but it's good to see them as a group. Thanks for the picture, Front, and great job on the photo as well.
  22. Huh. Well, good to know, I guess, thanks. Just another thing that the US didn't get. Hopefully there will be a decent scan of it at some point.
  23. If that wasn't actually on the Advance channel, I would have said it was fanmade =/ Spelling errors and general tone aside, it also says the "first chapter of BIONICLE is complete...", which will surely be used as ammunition by the Bring Back BIONICLE group, or whoever. It was nice to see a lot of those concept pieces, at any rate.
  24. So, I noticed this particular page in a Dutch scan of the LEGO mag: http://www.miniland.nl/LEGOclub/magazine%202%202012/20.jpg Since I didn't get my March copy (and neither did anybody else I know), is this also in the English version? Nobody really seems to give a crap about the LEGO mag anymore, since I had to use the online version to find anything interesting (this obviously isn't on the e-version).
  25. http://club.lego.com/en-US/insidescoop/InsideScoopDetails.aspx?id=415740 It's good stuff (not quite short stories that we were promised, but if they're regular updates, I can dig it), but I can't make heads or tails of the names "Alpha" and "Omega". Are they team names? Personal names? A first and last name of a particular Recon agent? Anybody have some insights into this?
