You fool, I felt perfectly fine after I drank that tea. It didn't aid in my sleep, nor did it make me feel sick. You, sir, must wait till I tell you the facts before you call me suspicious. You didn't give me time to respond about how the tea tasted until after you had your lips flapping out these lies.

I too told you the truth. You made the wrong choice. And for that, I must agree with Dutchess Juliana. Vote: Simon the Librarian/I Scream Clone You were all ridiculous yesterday, and, for once, the citizens of Matidoer should have listened to the maid. Sirion was innocent and for that we lost one of our vital protectors, and tonight we lost poor Countess Durville. I never suspected her. I'm going to miss you, ma'am. Please, you must get the votes right. I got a letter from Ambassador Sirion telling me that we must act upo who voted against him and how obvious the scum made themselves yesterday, Please listen to me when I say that the ones who were sevierly persistent in voting him off are the most obvious Dragons. I recall Simon being one of those people. Who knows, we may score on voting off the Dragon leader. They're typically old men like him.

Heck, if I knew you wanted that, I would've done that a long time ago! I love gore! "Plan?" Sam whispered to Eskallon. "Kill him and get the heck out of here," "Sounds good. But how do we do that?" "I don't know..." Jack walked over to them, keeping an eye on Adam while he lectured them on his evil plan. "Why not pull out his wiring? He is a robot after all," he suggested. "That's true!" said Sam. "But he's an organic robot. He may not have wiring at all, he could have organs," said Eskallon. "Then shoot him!" said Sam. "With what? A candy wrapper and a stick?" said Eskallon, smirking. "Er... Eskallon has a point..." said Jack. It took Adam a moment to notice the three. "Hey, ladies, if you have anything to say, please share it with us," said Adam. "Oh, nothing, we're just talking about what we'll do if we get out of this mess," said Jack. "Oh, you won't, trust me," said Adam with a grin not even the devil could have made. --- "This guy is crazy. He's a mechanical maniac, full of pure evil. What do we do?" Mark asked Garviel. "Maniac? Pure evil? That's an understatement!" said Adam. "You know, Mark, in spite of your confidence to not say what I really am, I think I'll let you live longer by letting you die slowly. You get to watch your friends die, while you lay there writhing in pain." Mark, resisting the urge to rip that ugly mug of a mad scientist right off his face, decided he needed to act fast if he was going to save them. Again. --- "Clyde, do something," said Melody. "Like what?" Clyde asked. "Kill him or something!" "Kill him? Why would I do that?" Melody pointed at the gun. "Oh. I see. You are intimidated by the firearm. Very well. What should I do?" "I don't care, just make sure he doesn't kill us all!" "As that black and white cat that was made in to numerous clocks would say, righteo!" With that, Clyde began plotting what to do. What kind of thing should he do to this human? --- Adam was still saying what he would do with all of them, but Zach interrupted. "After all this time, I trusted you! And you turn your backs on us after all we've done for you!" "What have you done for me, Zachary? Please, I'd love to know," said Adam. "We let you stay with us! You ate our food, drank our water, and we helped each other constantly! I thought we were friends..." "Friends? Ha! We'll see who's friends when I'm done with you, Zachary Smith!" --- "Clyde, hurry it up. We're about to lose a couple of sassypants people here soon..." Melody said. "Well, I could try frying him." "Would that kill him?" "If you call disintegration death, then yes." "Cool. Do it! Do it!" "Melody, Clyde, please, what are you two doing?" Adam asked getting very annoyed with this obvious plotting. "Miss Striker and I are plotting your death, why?" said Clyde. Melody kicked his leg. "Ouch, Miss Striker, what was that for?" he asked. She kicked him again. "Oh, I understand now, you're secretly trying to tell me to stop telling him everything!" She did a "facepalm" and said, "Okay, so, let me guess, you're going to kill us now?" she asked. "Yes!" said Adam. "Well, actually, maybe later. I have more important things to tend to then you imbeciles. I bet you couldn't even successfully kill a gnat, let alone me!" --- CC inched over to Jack, Sam, and Eskallon. "So? What should we do?" Sam asked Jack. "Cyborg fight?" Jack suggested. "Nah, too anime. Let's think of something original," said Eskallon. "Hey, what if we just jump him and start beating the cyborg organs right out of him?" "Nah, we'll be killed instantly. He's too powerful," said Sam. "Can we please get our plan straight, here?" "Right. Sorry," said Eskallon. "Hey, Melody gave me back the Detectix, maybe we could use that!" CC suggested. "What can that really do against him?" Jack asked. "I don't know. Help me look through all these computer files, there's gotta be something against stopping your psychopathic friend!"

If there's any room, I'd like to squeeze in with Amelia and look over the rooftops in case of a roof entrance.

Now that I think back, come on, a haunted manor? Who would ever think that a big dusty old house would be haunted? Ghosts aren't real, simply speculation, and most likely just the mind messing with you. I think ol' Faisser finally cracked, poor man. I ain't 'fraid of no ghost!

Perhaps, or maybe this explains why our dear Lord Faisser isn't here. What if this killer it trying to take out each one of us and decided to murder the owner of the house first?

And just what are you going to do with those, Mr. Baker? Certainly nothing violent I hope. I would like to look over the desk to see if there's any hidden switches on it that could reveal a secret compartment.

People use to do that all the time to me back when I had a store. I waited for months just waiting to have a guy check it as recieved.

My vote goes to the truck stop. Getting some more semi's would be awesome, wouldn't it? I also love how blissfully unaware that cyclist is about the havoc about to ensue when that monorail takes off.

Maybe it's a good idea to only ask for one. Hound Knight's already got so much going on, I doubt he'll have the time. I felt selfish asking for another one.

Well, nice to see exotrator's still MOCing. Excellent find, indeed! Very detailed!

They don't understand the joke, YG-49. They aren't on that forum.

Hello! Oddly, today, I'm bringing you a review of a BIONICLE set. Normally, I'd being doing a System review set, but I figured that this guy deserved a review. Enjoy! 8989 Mata Nui Name: 8989 Mata Nui Year: 2009 (Wave 2) Theme: BIONICLE Sub-Theme: Glatorian Legends Pieces: 52 Minifigure(s): 0 Price: USD 12.99 │ AUD 19.99 │ CAD 14.99 │ GBP 8.79 │ EUR 11.99 LEGO S@H Brickset Peeron BrickLink This is the canister version of what we've been waiting for for 9 years. 9 years! (10 for you Europeans out there!) I'm not really a big BIONICLE collector these days, but I had to pick this guy up, because I've been waiting for him since 2001. The great spirit, Mata Nui. Let's hope he's a as great as his soul. Chapter 1: The Box/Canister and Instructions Front The canister itself is well detailed, and the yellow caught my eye immediately; and my Wal-Mart has a big LEGO isle. They had four other Glatorian, but they were missing one in the wave. The brightness also makes it very nice. Back The back shows other details about the set, other sets, how you can fit the figure in the canister, etc. Other Glatorian The other five sets in wave 2, but it also shows the set you've bought. The Legend Reborn Notice that the disk of the movie is decorated wth the Glatorian "maze" insignia. I think that's really cool. LEGO had to put an ad for their newest BIONICLE film on here, it just wouldn't be right without it! The movie was released on September 15th, 2009, for future record, and I must ad that the film is very good! The voice of Kiina was annoying for a certain amount of time, but it grew on me. Life Counter Image A pic of the life counter; I think this idea was brilliant. A game for BIONICLE that can be played just by getting the figures! Of course, that means if you have 1, you have to get another to play the game, right? One of LEGO's "Get-Rich-Quick" schemes, I would expect. Instructions The instructions have a cropped image of the front of the canister. Basically, it's an amputated Mata Nui. His legs got cut off at the knees. Random Page Page 9 shows the left leg being assembled. The instructions also have part call-out, which I haven't seen on a set in a long time. I always seem to get the wrong sets. Parts Page 52 parts, each put down here. I'm happy that LEGO does this. It's fun to look and see if there are any mistakes as bad as the IJ Lost Tomb set's part page. Actually... nothing can be that bad... Chapter 2: The Loot Here's our loot; an instruction booklet, and 54 parts; with two being extras. Thornax Launcher Parts This is by far the best working launcher LEGO has made for BIONCLE yet. It shoots far, as well, and just looks plain cool. The spikes are rubber, and the entire Thornax part is rubber(Harder than the spikes), except fior the black band. That's solid plastic. Life Counter Here's what makes BIONICLE a joke game, the Life Counter. It has six different printed edges. It can connect to any axle, too. Here's the sets that it comes blank in. I had no idea this part was so old. It's from 2007! Hands/Fists One of my favorite new BIONICLE parts... the hands/fists! These part are awesome, and it has one axle hole on each side of the fist. There's a barrier in the middle to stop axles from going all the way through. This part should've been made years ago. Shin Guards Another nice new part. I can see this part being used as shoulder armor, or perhaps chest plates. But I have a complaint regarding these parts! The part is supposed to attach to this pin which makes the shin guards very loose and wobbly. This is annoying. I wish LEGO would have just attached it to one of these pins and that would have solved the looseness issue. Scarabax Shield/Shoulder Armor/Blades These parts are cool, they come in pearl gray and bright light yellow. Four totalled. The silver ones are attached to this fist and creates what LEGO calls a "Scarabax shield" because "Click" becomes Mata Nui's shield in the movie, I believe. But, still, the shield is useless, because of the skeletal design. If anything, it'll make him more vulnerable. The crescent moon blades create a hole-y shield that a weapon could easily go right through and stab poor Mata Nui in the head. And the fact that if a Thornax was shot at the center of the entire shield, it would hit Mata Nui's hand. Ouch. And the bright light yellow ones are used as shoulder armor that repeatedly whacks Mata Nui in the head. Ouch x2. Head The first thing I noticed about the head was that it resembled Iron Man. How fitting. But the head's axle holder is suprisingly on the top of the head, instead of on the mouth. Now, the main reason we have this set: The Mask of Life The return of the fabled Mask of Life! This is apparently what the entire BIONICLE story revolves around. And we get it in bright light yellow. Why?! Why?! *sobs* They couldn't have made Mata Nui some special silver Toa? No. It had to be bright light yellow. The axle to hook into a head is on the top of the mask, which makes attaching it to older heads impossible. Chapter 3: The Build Now, we move on to the build. The build itself is the same as all BIONICLE sets. Short. But it was fun building the figure I've been waiting 9 years of my life for. Which arouses plenty of questions for me. "Why now?" "Why not a few years ago?" "Why were there only six toa, and not Mata Nui?" But, I'm satisfied now. With a bright... light... orange... Blech. Step 4 Step 4 has the torso partly complete, a mix of bright light yellow and black. Legs The legs are complete. Once, again, notice the "Shin Guard Factor". Arms The arms are rather simple, which I don't like. I wish LEGO would attach some detail here and there. Make my thirteen bucks worthwhile, guranteed. The shoulder parts are also a new part. They look like a modified version of this double ball joint connector. I like it. The Fist of Fury Notice how the thumb is in the middle of the hand. I guess anything goes in BIONICLE land. Arms Attached The shape is really starting to come together, once the arms are attached. Head Connector This is a new part, as well. Just from this one figure, I've gotten so many new parts! I'd never even heard of this part before. So, this part can have a ball joint socket, or in this case a head, attached, as well as one pin, and one axle. And that's just what it's gonna do. Head and Neck Assembly This is what the head and neck look like together. Now, we attach it... Attached The main structure is now complete, so we have to add details. But first... This is the axle hole in the top of the head. This is where our Mask of Life hooks in. Mask Attached Huzzah! The legendary Mask of Life is now on the sacred Great Spirit in his Toa form. Yay(?)! Thornax Launcher The Thornax Launcher... Simple, but so, so, very awesome. I love the simplicity of it. Two bendable part,s a rubber spiked ball, and a baby barf colored Toa to hold it. What more could you ask for? Scarab Shield The Scarab Shield is just two parts, and a fist. Life Counter Assembly The Life Counter assembly is made up of only a few parts. One thing of notice is the use of an old Toa Metru chest piece as the main part of this small assembly. Simple, yet effective. Attached The Life Counter is attached, and Mata Nui is almost ready to head to the arena! Shoulder "Armor" Attached The shoulder armor is attached. Remember what I said about him getting whacked in the face...? Chapter 4: The Completed Set Yay! We finished the set! It was easy, but it was enjoyable for such a small set. He may look strong, but his defenses are weak. The shield is worthless. "Forget Click, get a sword, dang it! You don't stand a chance against Stroniu-"*squash* Yeah, he may need something to defend himself against Stronius and his giant club of doom. Extra Parts Just a couple more pins to add to the collection. I didn't expect much from this set. Pose Time! Let's see some poses! "Let me ask you something... Do you feel lucky, punk?" "Darn it... I knew I should've gotten the machine gun... This shield is pathetic!" "Look into my eyes... Your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent. Feel their pain!" -Ghost Rider _______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Playability: - 8/10 - The set can be posed, you can have a battle between the Glatorian, or even have Mata Nui be a time-travelling DeLorean DMC-12 Toa/Great Spirit! Price: - 6/10 - The price is just too much. I like the figure, but if I hadn't been waiting for him for so long, I probably wouldn't have bought him. $12.99 for 52 parts, is just "Meh." Design: - 8/10 - One of the only design flaws is the shoulder armor. They whack him in the face like Hinckley whacking Siegfried with a paddle, which makes some poses impossible. Parts: - 7/10 - Bright light yellow wouldn't have been the color choice I would have picked, but I'll live. Silver still would've been nice. Overall - 7/10 - The figure is nice, the colors are iffy, but do-able. The design is good, except for the shoulder armor. And the price is bad for 52 parts, but the figure is still nice. The playability is fun, he can do so much! Shoot a bird, wipe his... car... with a Shamwow, or attack a cat, he can do it all! (None of these included) I would reccomend this to any BIONICLE fan, seeing as we've been waiting for this for so long. He's finally here! $12.99 may be expensive to me, but some of you guys have almost every BIONICLE figure, so it probably means nothing to you. --- Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed this review. -Striker

Er... remove me from that list, I don't need a second drawing. Because you can't do better than my first one!

Happy birthday, homicidal maniac Star Wars Regulator! I hope your day will be filled with LEGO and fun!

I just seem to not be able to understand things. I thought since Ricecracker was talking about searching the rooms, and such, I thought Bob was raiding me! Please ignore that post.

I'd like to watch, horrified, as Rudy picks my pockets. You crazy old bat! Quit it! That tickles! Hahaha! Hahahaahaha!!

What if it just steps on a car and it blows up, sending flames up at the brute, thus making the gas ignite? "Er..." "What's "er"?" "I haven't played video games in a long time... I'm a bit rusty..." "Oh, well that's okay, but you better do your best... because we're going to die if you mess this up!" They watched as a soldier began running for his life, and the brute, unnoticing, stepped on him like an ant. "How close are we to the nearest city?" Melody asked. "About 35 miles, why?" said Zach. "I was thinking, if we could lure it to the city, the military there could take it down," said Melody. "No, it would absorb their weapons and vehicles and squash the troops," said CC, not taking his eyes off the giant brute. "Right... Oops... So how am I going to destroy this thing with a couple little insect-resembling bug-machones?" "I don't know, you're the gaming expert!" "I'm not an expert!" "Fine. So, miss, how do you plan on taking down this monster?" --- The brute looked down at the tiny specks that were running around. What are those things, it wondered, walking towards them, absorbing things, and not even noticing. He stepped on everything in sight, it was just so darn fun! *BOOM!* What was that? it wondered. --- Melody had forgotten about the controls and was arguing with CC over what their plan was. *BOOM!* The group jumped only to see a fireball come from the ground. Melody realized that the brute had abosrbed quite a few gas tankards from the squadron of military vehicles. Evereyone else remembered this as well. "Oh, hang on... this is gonna be bad..." () Fire consumed the beast, and it suddenly imploded, then exploded, sending machinery tumbling for miles. The entire group got blown back at least 16 feet from the blast. The sky was red and black from the fire and smoke, junk lay all around the group. Melody was on the ground next to Zach. Their eyes fell to a wheel that rolled past them, then fell flat on the ground, tumbling. "That's really ironic," she said, contemplating what had happened. "Melody..." "What, Zach?" she asked him, smiling. "Oh no..." "Zach, what is it?" she asked him again, her smile disappearing. His eyes were on the Detectix, where her finger lay on a button. A red button. "Oh, I know what you mean now..." she whispered in a terrified voice. "Bad... bad... bad! Bad! BAD! Everybody run!" The small little gadgets were storming towards them, tools raised, most likely to be used as dissecting devices. Everyone got to their feet and started stumbling as fast as they could.

Think back, Madame.

Excuse me! I have nothing to hide, but I don't appreciate the idea of you searching through my clothes. If I wanted to share my undergarments with you, I would have used them as confetti.

Am I allowed to feel intimidated?

Stash, I'd rather not picture that... Wait, you're not joking, are you?

I would like to go with Thomas and Rudy to inspect the kitchen. Though my tea wasn't "poisoned", I'm hoping maybe w'll find something other than that in the kitchen.

You know, you're right, Lady Papelion. Nobody's going to listen to the maid anyway. I'll just sit here and be quiet, I'm sorry if I have disturbed your wrongful accusations.

I just realized I inspired Svelte's new title. Stash, Shadows, Hinck, must I get beaten in every game involving you three? I can't win. (Yes, Armendariz, I also doubt I'll live very long.)
