Ah well. I'm waiting for Mata Nui, let's hope he's got a bit of a [well we're going to have to call Bionicle-ish retro now that Bionicle's been replaced by Neo-Fantasy Bionicle] retro air to him.

No, it's okay, that was funny! The small sets are coming up, look like jacked-up Avtoran.

DAANG, Malum is rockin'! Face seems a bit Megablocky though.

Only ones I can really see for System are the flobby worm-balls and the shield on Mister Warhammer Black and Red Orcsalot.

The ice guy's pretty rockin, but oh my! THE HANDS! I do not like them, they look too much like megafig KK hands. I hope the blue/gold fellow's a Toa of Lightning of some sort.

Hopefully. Have hope! I'm waiting for the Bionicle pics. I hope.

I voted for #2. Being whacked by Hinckley seems like such an effective and efficient fate for a monkey.

Probably just deleted a bad shot off his computer.

I voted for more civilians.

So am I, he was in a movie, he ought to be in the game. I'm also hoping for Maxie Zeus, but that might not happen.

I guess I'm lucky then that I'm not interested in making a town layout - Castle and Pirates will be bad enough! I've got this year all planned out, but next - well, here's my list so far, just based on leaks! Clone Walker Battle Pack [i'm not into Star Wars much, but I want those those pistols and I'm going to need the skirt, plus the walker itself looks like it has some good parts] Cannon Battle Kraken Attacken Loot Island Soldier's Fort One of the little Creator sets, probably the SUV, I've liked those since they were X-Pods Possibly either the Castle basic bricks set or the Pirates basic bricks set And I haven't even seen the Castle sets!

It's a good set. And haven't you seen the calendar, and noticed 'oh that's odd i guess the good old days are gone now'? You're not going to get old Pirates sets, you're going to just get Pirates sets. And also designers have said there'll be more than three Castle sets next year, so wrong on that point too - the set list seems like it's for the first half of the year, as well. My only disappointment is the raft in Kraken Attacken; I have enough 2x2 brown cylinders as is, I would've rather had a small ship.

No way, man, I'm gonna get it and I don't even like City. It also has the clear and distinct advantage of being actual proper Lego, unlike Galidor. I am in love with the Pirates - thank the Lords of Kobol my birthday's at the beginning of the year and Castle looks like it's going to be a summer release next year. I'm going to get Kraken Attacken, [nice octopus btw], Loot Island, Cannon Attack, and if I can, Soldiers Fort. Sadly I already know the big ship is way out of my price range

No, not a lightsaber blade, the pneumatic tubing. Couldn't a minifig hand jam in there if filed down a tiny bit?

I would like it very much to enter this fine raffle.

Hi, I'm thinking of embarking on my first custom minifig project - a Cylon from the old Battlestar Galactica, and I had a question regarding a technique I was thinking of using. Can I take one of the new Agents arms [the cyborg one], stick a cut-off portion of a rubber tube in there, and then stick a minifig hand [cut a bit if necessary] in the hole in the center of the tube? Is it possible?

It mentioned Batman's Shadow Suit allowing him to build with 'dark lego', maybe Man-Bat can do that too. And Heat Protection Suit, is that new?

I hope we get some good pirate torsos [and none of those faces that Lego has an obsession with, like the face with the chin dent and the construction worker stubbly face].

I'm with everyone who's said Flying Fortress, I'd like to see one like the Valiant from Doctor Who for the Agents. I'd also like to see some sort of mansion-infiltration set, preferably with a fancy-suit Charge and a fancy-dress Trace. And little transform chambers for them to change back into Charge and Trace, like in the Batcave.

Well that's what happens when BZPower goes nutso over a little spoilers. I still don't like the names, I mean, Stronius?

My favorite of the shown would be White Pith/White Pants, but here's another - Dark Tan legs and the Dark Tan pith helmet.

It mentions both Pirates and Soldiers, so doesn't that imply faction warfare? I am truly interested in this line.

Wow, where did you get this? Serious lolage at some of the names, Ackar, Stronius, Gresh, certainly is a new naming scheme. My guess for the sets- Romans versus Orcs.

Well there was the 2001 promo, the Tohunga, they were real Bionicle.

Thanks for the input - I think I'll get Choice 2 - I really like the tone of the set, and I can always get the other two sets later separately.
