  1. Well that makes some sense, although its rather annoying. Why bother with spiders at all if you're going to remove one of their most defining features? If they choose spiders as they are perceived as more sinister than any insect...why make them less scary and undo that reasoning by giving them 6 legs and changing so much that they are barely spider any more? You may as well make them ants in the first place. And surely the fact that LOSS is blobby rather than split into accurate body segments, is missing hair and has a cartoony face means its not that similar anyways. But 6 legs instead of 8 just makes the inaccuracies rather ridiculous and tips the balance from acceptable differences to questionable differences. It seems slightly strange. Considering other Lego sets feature accurate spiders such as Shelob and the ones in the Mirkwood Spiders set. Also the spider mold itself is spidery. Maybe LEGO should have a theme with nice, friendly spiders in it one day to try and show that they are actually not at all bad*- actually most peoples need to give spiders a break to try and ease the phobia. I'm sure there are other things that could be made 'scary' instead for a change.... (*Maybe stick Spiders on the good guys side in Chima, or stick in nice spiders with the Elves theme. Galaxy Squad would have been rather funny (and rather stupid) if it had spiders fighting the insects..!) Anyways, I'm beginning to ramble now...
  2. Wow! That king Beast is impressive!
  3. My favorites have to be flyer beast- great stuff! I love the wings- and the crawler machine- it really does look like a crawler machine now, and the colours are balanced well. I like the limbs on the tunneler beast as well. Nice stuff!
  4. wow, thats crazy! I love it!
  5. Nice work! Its great! It looks good in greys, maybe try it in desert camo too..? Tan and dark tan or dark tan and brown...
  6. I think I managed to complete it. Good luck
  7. Nice! Im looking forward top the rest.
  8. 18 seems enough, they'll tally up to be fairly expensive anyways.
  9. Wow! Nice background and a great MOC! Its clever how you made it all work .
  10. Its a shame rather that he's got such a poor parts count. Still, its a good looking set so I cant moan about the design/parts too much at this point.
  11. Nice! Although the expression and the eyes are rather menacing..!
  12. The first one and the third one are my favorites. I really like how you made the vibrant colours work together.
  13. It should be easier for me to view them on the internet, so I'm not too bothered, although its odd they're so short.
  14. Oops, I didn't notice it there and I've read that too. Mustn't have been concentrating enough!
  15. I suppose this explains why the masks have a lift-y launch-y brain function to flip off their masks- "If the Skull Spider latches onto the Protector’s BIONICLE® head, it can pop the trigger and release the mask." Seemingly Lewa has some air powers still. "Match up against the evil Skull Spider with Lewa – Master of Jungle! Power up the dual-purpose X-glider to soar into the sky. When you spot the Skull Spider crawling from the ruins, swoop down to the ground and convert the X-glider into 2 massive battle axes." or at least a jetpack thing
  16. Wow, that red and blue jumper really does look good!
  17. Well if a Toa gets Skull Spider-ed then it'd make sense for the others to need to be able to 'free' their comrade by removing the spider. Seemingly by whacking them in the head.
  18. I thought minotaur... ...ram makes sense though
  19. Hrm, that is a bit of a problem. Its a shame they didn't decide to be nice and chuck them in the Queen Beast set instead of yet another Evo and Furno and Stormer. Might not have made 1005 sense. But it would have been appreciated.
  20. I would be very disappointed not to get that polybag, it's such a nice one.
  21. I rather like the 'cluttered' colour scheme actually. It adds to the look and feel that gives it a special kind of appeal. The only things colour wise that are a little odd are the silver arm spikes and the tan weapons. Maybe trade them out for other colours would help. Thats only a small thought though, to me this model is pretty much spot on.
  22. The difference really is striking! Nice MOCs! I love the shaping and the colours used.
  23. LOSS is alrightish...but he looks a bit goofy. I don't mind the lack of a huge abdomen, that doesn't detract from the spider aspect too much. But he only has 6 legs...and the Skull Spiders only have 4...so they aren't even spiders. They're insects. Either that or the Masters have ripped a few limbs off of them in the past... I'm not so fond of the teeth that look like they're coming out from under his eyelids either... Despite this there's something rather attractive about him setwise...maybe its the colour scheme.
